Releases 1.11 through 1.13 introduced a bunch of major new features and bugfixes. Let's go through the main ones!
Dark modeβ
A little while ago weβve announced work in progress on Dark Mode for the Dashboard. We're happy to tell you itβs live now! You can try it out on the Dashboard example page.
There are three options available:
light
β the defaultdark
auto
β will respect the userβs system settings and switch automatically
uppy.use(Dashboard, {
theme: 'dark',
});
Custom meta fieldsβ
This is big one! Thanks to @galli-leo, you can now add custom fields to the
Dashboard meta editor, such as <input type="tel">
, <select>
or
<input type="checkbox">
, like this:
uppy.use(Dashboard, {
trigger: '#pick-files',
metaFields: [
{
id: 'caption',
name: 'Caption',
placeholder: 'describe what the image is about',
},
{
id: 'public',
name: 'Public',
render: ({ value, onChange }, h) => {
return h('input', {
type: 'checkbox',
onChange: (ev) => onChange(ev.target.checked ? 'on' : 'off'),
defaultChecked: value === 'on',
});
},
},
],
});
See the docs and PR #2147 for details.
Google Docs support in Companionβ
In the past, Uppy could already import files from Google Drive using Companion. However, files from Google Docs are not really files, and could not be imported. That was confusing for users: some of their files simply didn't appear!
Companion now automagically converts GSuite documents, such as docs,
spreadsheets and presentations, to .docx
, .xlsx
and .ppt
files that can be
opened in various applications. The current list of conversions is hardcoded to:
{
"application/vnd.google-apps.document": ".docx",
"application/vnd.google-apps.drawing": ".png",
"application/vnd.google-apps.script": ".json",
"application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet": ".xlsx",
"application/vnd.google-apps.presentation": ".ppt"
}
This may be configurable in a future release.
Note that only documents under 10MB are converted. This is a limitation set by the Google Drive API.
AWS S3β
The Aws S3 plugin now handles uploads internally, instead of deferring to XHR Upload. This change fixes many bugs with Aws S3. See PR #2060 for details.
Localesβ
Polish, Croatian and Romanian language packs have been added by @alfatv, @dkisic and @akizor π
Exifr in Thumbnail Generatorβ
@MikeKovarik created an awesome library called
Exifr, useful for extracting EXIF image
data. He was kind enough to submit a PR that replaces Uppyβs internal fork of
exif-js
with exifr
. Our thumbnail generation is now faster and more robust!
See PR 2140 for details.
