@uppy/url

The Url plugin lets users import files from the Internet. Paste any URL and it’ll be added!

A Companion instance is required for the Url plugin to work. Companion will download the files and upload them to their destination. This saves bandwidth for the user (especially on mobile connections) and helps avoid CORS restrictions.

Uppy is being developed by the folks at Transloadit, a versatile file encoding service.

Example

const Uppy = require('@uppy/core')
const Url = require('@uppy/url')

const uppy = Uppy()
uppy.use(Url, {
  // Options
})

Installation

$ npm install @uppy/url --save

We recommend installing from npm and then using a module bundler such as Webpack, Browserify or Rollup.js.

Alternatively, you can also use this plugin in a pre-built bundle from Transloadit's CDN: Edgly. In that case Uppy will attach itself to the global window.Uppy object. See the main Uppy documentation for instructions.
