Single File Upload
Restrict the uploader to accept only one file at a time by setting multiple: false.
Drag & drop a file here
<div id="myUploader" class="mu-uploader"> <button type="button" class="mu-select-btn">Select File</button> <input type="file" class="mu-file-input" style="display:none" /> <div class="mu-dropzone"><div class="mu-dropzone-text">Drag & drop a file here</div></div> <div class="mu-preview-area"></div> <div class="mu-progress" style="display:none">...</div> <div class="mu-queue"></div> </div>
var uploader = new MultipleUpload(document.getElementById('myUploader'), {
uploadUrl: '/api/upload',
multiple: false // Only one file at a time
});
The simplest possible case
One file, one request, no chunking. This is what the component does with almost no configuration, and for a form attachment under a few megabytes it is the right answer — chunking adds server-side work that buys nothing at that size.
When to move off it
Two signals: files large enough that a dropped connection means starting over, or a body-size limit somewhere between the browser and your handler that you cannot raise. Both point at chunked: true, and neither is worth pre-empting before it happens.
