6. Simplify File Uploads with React-Dropzone

Website: React Dropzone

In addition to being able to access the file browser to select an image to upload, I also wanted to be able to drag'n'drop that image as well. While researching a few options, I came across react-dropzone, a "Simple React hook to create a HTML5-compliant drag'n'drop zone for files." Installation was easy, and the docs were well-written with many examples of different applications.

The journey starts with the user uploading the PDF document. For this, I used the react-dropzone library. The library supports both drag-and-drop and click-based uploads. Once the user drops the file into the input, the file is sent to the backend for processing

React Dropzone is a popular open-source library for creating file upload components in React applications. It provides an easy way to implement drag-and-drop file uploads and supports various customization options.

4. React Dropzone

React-dropzone react-dropzone is a set of React libraries that help developers to build complex drag-and-drop functionalities while keeping their components destructured. In other words, it is a React hook that makes it easy to construct drag-and-drop interfaces quickly rather than from scratch.

In this React tutorial, I will show you way to build Drag and Drop File Upload example with React Hooks using react-dropzone, Axios and Multipart File for making HTTP requests, Bootstrap for progress bar and display list of files' information (with download url).

React-Motion is an animation toolkit that makes building and implementing realistic animations much easier. However, React-Motion can be hard to grasp for beginners. But it has good documentation with rich examples to help developers.

React Motion is an animation library for React applications that makes realistic animations easier to build and implement.

Here's a comparison showing how the transition-hook bundle size compares to other React animation libraries: react-spring, framer-motion, react-motion, and react-move:

Framer Motion is a production ready animation library for React. I felt the need to add some "cool" animations to my portfolio so that it looks more alive and interactive. One can argue between choosing React Spring or React Motion but that depends on the use-case and since I've already worked with Framer motion before so I went with this.

React Motion

Thanks. Let me write some information concerning our ClojureScript frontend. We wanted to use physics-based animations using springs since only these animations make sense. Sadly the browser decided to only support silly animations which are described in terms of curves and durations. Spring animations are used on both MacOS and iOS and they look much better, since they have the natural feeling. Originally, we were using React Motion for them which would be fine for a small project. But running a lot of animations at the same time is very taxing since every frame of the animation has to go through React and all these layers. Therefore, I spent about 4 months completely rewriting most of our frontend code related to rendering and UI interactions within OrgPage. Unlike React Motion and probably any other spring-based animation library, we do not simulate these springs but instead analytically solve their differential equations. (Luckily I have a strong background in math.) I created the OrgPage https://orgpad.com/s/yRyR-GOU0Pm which summarizes math and my approach. Our animations code consists of about 5k lines of code where maybe 1k is the physics itself and computation of animation maps. The remaining 4k lines are low level controls where particular OrgPage elements are animated using requestAnimationFrame. We always calculate their new positions/sizes/etc. and apply DOM mutations, completely bypassing React, Reagent and Re-frame. There are a lot of clever optimizations to get the current speed. In upcoming months, I plan to investigate WebGL rendering which we could use to render larger parts of the documents, hopefully making everything even faster.
