jQuery File Upload is a cross-browser javascript library for asynchronus Flash-free file uploading by Sebastian Tschan (@blueimp). This gem packages it for the asset pipeline in Rails.
You should see the original project page for reference & documentation. There are no instructions here on how to use the library itself.
Add a line to your Gemfile.
gem 'jquery.fileupload-rails'
Now you can require the javascript library in application.js:
//= require jquery.fileupload
Included (no need to require):
- jQuery Iframe Transport for IE support.
- jQuery UI widget from jquery-ui-rails
Example Rails application can be found in "demo" directory.
You can remove all dependencies of the plugin from you manifest. Before:
//= require jquery.ui
//= require jquery.iframe-transport
//= require jquery.fileupload
After:
//= require jquery.fileupload
If you downloaded jquery.ui assets into your project, delete them and use jquery-ui-rails gem instead.
