Uppy 1.22 (the spooky Halloween edition) adds a new Unsplash provider, Webcam camera selector dropdown and a maxTotalFileSize restriction.

We are happy to announce version 2.0 of Companion! 🎉 After maintaining and improving the 1.x series for over a year, we're now releasing a major version bump on the Companion package. The drive on this release is mainly towards fixing some terminology inconsistencies and aligning with Node.js LTS to ease the maintenance burden.

One of the most-requested Uppy features, the Image Editor, has landed (as beta) in 1.18.

In this post we will be going through a step by step tutorial on how to develop, and add custom providers to Uppy and Companion. For the purpose of this tutorial we will be building a custom provider for Unsplash.

Releases 1.11 through 1.13 introduced a bunch of major new features and bugfixes. Let's go through the main ones!

Dark mode​

A little while ago we’ve announced work in progress on Dark Mode for the Dashboard. We're happy to tell you it’s live now! You can try it out on the Dashboard example page.

There are three options available:

• light — the default
• dark
• auto — will respect the user’s system settings and switch automatically

uppy.use(Dashboard, {
	theme: 'dark',
});

Uppy 1.10.1 adds long-awaited support for Facebook and OneDrive 🎉

const uppy = Uppy();
uppy.use(Dashboard);
uppy.use(Facebook, {
	target: Dashboard,
	companionUrl: 'https://companion.uppy.io/',
});
uppy.use(OneDrive, {
	target: Dashboard,
	companionUrl: 'https://companion.uppy.io/',
});

Try the live demos on Transloadit.com: import your files from Facebook or OneDrive, and then:

• Apply a watermark to an image
• Convert an image to WebP
• Encode a video, extract 8 thumbnails and store everything in an S3 bucket
• Encode video for iPhone
• Create a single Zip file containing all uploaded files

(Uppy demos are below the description and steps, under “Live Demo. See for yourself” ;-)

You can also play with an interactive demo, enabling different Uppy options and providers on the fly: https://uppy.io/examples/dashboard

Uppy 1.8, 1.9 and a few important security patches are out! Here are the highlights:

Uppy 1.7 was released last December! This release added Hebrew translations, a recording length timer for the @uppy/webcam plugin, and a collection of improvements to Companion.

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!

In the past two months, we have halved our open issue count and worked on a much more robust approach to upload cancellation. Members of the community also contributed a bunch of new localizations: Czech, Danish, Greek, Indonesian, and Swedish!

We are also releasing beta versions of new remote providers for Facebook and OneDrive. Please try them out!
