Uppy 0.19: Tests, Informer details and better APIs

· 4 min read

Hello! The 0.19 release is about internal fixes, optimizations and refactoring, as well as some work on PRs that we’ll hopefully tell you about soon!

Jest tests

Thanks to our contributer, @richardwillars, and following the example set by Uppy Server, we’ve switched to Jest for Uppy’s unit tests, and added a bunch of new tests as well. And even more are being added as we speak!

We're also happy to report that more tests have been added for Uppy Server.

Dashboard APIs

We’ve exposed show/hide/isOpen APIs for the Dashboard UI plugin. Now you can open and close the modal dialog programmatically:

const modal = uppy.getPlugin('Dashboard');
modal.show();

// ...

button.addEventListener('click', () => {
if (modal.isOpen()) {
modal.hide();
} else {
modal.show();
}
});

Check out the docs.

Transloadit

  • Possibility to upload to S3, then import into an assembly;
  • New alwaysRunAssembly option has beed added to run assemblies when no files are uploaded.

Informer details

Informer supports “explanations”, a questionmark (?) button that shows more info on hover / click.

Misc good stuff

  • Uppy instance ID, useful for GoldenRetriver, check out example using multiple Uppy instances;
  • Custom error messages from upload endpoints are now supported (#305);
  • Fixed calculateTotalProgress and restrictions; improved generateFileID and isOnline;
  • Removed some unused css styles from the bundle;
  • Allow multiple trigger elements for the Dashboard, via using the same class attribute;
  • Image previews are now resized gradually for better performance and quality;
  • Metadata edits in the Dashboard are now saved when pressing enter key;
