CldUploadWidget Configuration

Configuration

children

A function that returns a React component that receives instance methods and options for the widget.

<CldUploadWidget uploadPreset="<Upload Preset>">
  {({ open }) => {
    return (
      <button className="button" onClick={() => open()}>
        Upload
      </button>
    );
  }}
</CldUploadWidget>

  sources: ['local', 'url', 'unsplash'],
  multiple: true,
  maxFiles: 5
}}

Events

To learn more about the event callbacks and when they trigger, see: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_widget_reference#events (opens in a new tab)

Example

<CldUploadWidget
  ...
  onSuccess={(results) => {
    console.log('Public ID', results.info.public_id);
  }}
/>

Callback Parameters

Most of the callbacks provide a set of options that give access to the results, options, and widget instance.

Example

<CldUploadWidget
  ...
  onSuccess={(results) => {
    console.log('Public ID', results.info.public_id);
  }}
/>

options

results

The event and results that were returned from the event.

A common use of results could be to retrieve an uploaded asset, which would be made available in the info property from the resulting event. If the result is a resource, the shape will include some of the following details.

Example

{
  height: 400;
  public_id: 'mypublicid';
  secure_url: 'https://res.cloudinary.com/.../mypublicid';
  width: 400;
  ...
}

Child Function Parameters

By passing in a function as the child of the Upload Widget, you're able to gain access to the widget, results, and instance methods to interface directly with the widget.

Example

<CldUploadWidget>
  {({ cloudinary, widget, open }) => {
    // Return UI
  }}
</CldUploadWidget>

Instance Methods

The Upload Widget exposes instance methods that gives the ability to have greater control and flexbility over the upload experience.

They're exposed either through event handler callback or child function parameters.
