React file upload

A simple to use React hook that enables HTML5-compliant drag-and-drop file uploads with preview functionality. This library streamlines the file upload process for your users, allowing them to see a preview of their files before uploading. You can configure the hook to accept specific file types, set size limits, and specify the number of files allowed to be uploaded at once. With this library, you can provide a better user experience and simplify the file upload process for your users."

Installation

yarn add dex-react-file-upload

npm i dex-react-file-upload
