Methods

.imageupload(options)

Initializes bootstrap-imageupload. If no options are given, defaults are used.

$('#my-imageupload').imageupload({
    allowedFormats: [ 'jpg' ],
    maxFileSizeKb: 512,
    imgSrc: "http://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/5.jpg"
});

.imageupload('disable')

Disables user input.

$('#my-imageupload').imageupload('disable');

.imageupload('enable')

Enables user input (after being disabled).

$('#my-imageupload').imageupload('enable');

.imageupload('reset')

Resets bootstrap-imageupload to its initial state. Options from initialization are preserved.

$('#my-imageupload').imageupload('reset');

Limitations

The upload image by URL feature has the following limitations:

• The URL must contain the filename including its extension.
• The file size cannot be verified.

These limitations exist because the image element constructor is used to load the image. The only accurate method to verify the image format and file size, is to perform a HTTP HEAD request, which might not work because of the same origin policy. In order to avoid loading very large image files, a timeout of 3000ms is used.
