Uppy 1.6: setOptions(), Icelandic and Thai

This release adds a long-awaited uppy.setOptions() API, allowing you to update options of Uppy and its plugins on the fly. It also includes locales for the Icelandic and Thai languages!

uppy.setOptions()​

.setOptions() for Uppy and its plugins supports most options that can be easily changed on the fly: restrictions, locale, Dashboard’s note and metaFields, disableThumbnailGenerator, showProgressDetails, etc.

⚠️ Note that some options like target, limit and id cannot be changed on the fly, as internal statefull things depend on them.

Here’s how the magic works:

const uppy = Uppy({
	restrictions: {
		maxNumberOfFiles: 3,
	},
});
uppy.use(Dashboard, {
	note: 'You can upload up to 3 files',
});

Now, based on some condition in our app, we want to allow more files:

// Updating Uppy options
uppy.setOptions({
	restrictions: {
		maxNumberOfFiles: 5,
	},
});
// Updating Dashboard options
uppy
	.getPlugin('Dashboard')
	.setOptions({ note: 'You can upload up to 5 files' });

Say, later on, the user changed their locale and we would like to reflect that in Uppy:

const fi_FI = require('@uppy/locales/lib/fi_FI');

uppy.setOptions({
	locale: fi_FI,
});

Now, Uppy will bark in Finnish! Hau, hau, hau!

Please see uppy.setOptions() docs for details.
