Blocks: web components for the Uploadcare platform integrations
💎 Core concepts
- All in one place: here, you can find everything you need to build a modern and reliable web application with Uploadcare on board.
- Modern technologies: web components, service workers, wasm, and other cutting edge web standards are ready to show their power.
- Type safety with a JSDoc declaration and TypeScript static analysis.
- Modern ESM-level code sharing.
- The build stage is unnecessary for development: use the code directly in any modern browser or Node.js.
- Minimum of external dependencies: security audit is not expensive.
- Fast and secure.
- We try to be as close to the native web platform as possible and not force you to use any specific development environment tools.
📦 What’s in the box?
- File uploading solutions — file uploader implementations for the most frequent use cases.
- Blocks to build custom solutions — build your integrations with a simple HTML and CSS.
- Adaptive image — all you need to distribute your web images efficiently.
- Cloud image editor — tune your pictures with our CDN image processing right after they're uploaded.
- Soon: web components for media content representation: audio, video, image galleries, etc.
⚙️ Installation and start
Installation process is easy and takes minutes. See the installation guide.
Typescript support
We use JSDoc type annotations for TypeScript static analysis support during development.
Additionally, we provide type definitions (*.d.ts files) for the TypeScript projects in our packages.
Check the JSDoc Reference page in TypeScript official documentation.
Supported browsers
Blocks are supported and tested in all major modern desktop and mobile browsers:
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Safari
- Edge
- Opera
Internet Explorer is outdated and not supported anymore.
Frameworks support
Blocks are a framework-agnostic solution, so you can use it with any runtime you like. We have prepared examples for the most popular frameworks.
