MultiFile Upload
Added in version v2.0.0
The MultiFile Upload component is a slick and powerful file uploader. It allows users to drag and drop (or select) a number of files and review them before upload. The component supports several languages, meta fields that allow users to enter additional information for each file, file restrictions and an extensive API and events to interact with the component.

Getting started
To get started with the MultiFile Upload component, drag the component on a form and attach a method to the onFileUploaded event. Whenever a file is completely uploaded to the server, this method is fired and receives a JSUpload object as argument. From that you can get the bytes of the file uploaded, its name, content type etc.
The component can either be shown as a "drop zone" on the form or as a modal dialog. This is controlled via the inline property. When true, the component will render a UI on the form, when false, nothing will be rendered on the form and the component needs to be opened as a modal via the openModal() API call.

Custom types

uploadRestriction type
Optionally, provide rules and conditions to limit the type and/or number of files that can be selected and it is used on the restrictions property of the component.
uploadRestriction properties can be found here.
maxNumberOfFiles also affects the number of files a user is able to select via the system file dialog in UI plugins like DragDrop, FileInput and Dashboard: when set to 1, they will only be able to select a single file. When null or another number is provided, they will be able to select multiple files.
metaField type
Meta fields can be added to the component and will be shown when a user clicks the “edit” button on a specific file. Adding meta fields enables the “edit” button on file cards.
metaField properties can be found here.
uploadFile type
uploadFiles can be retrieved via the getFiles() or getFile(fileID) API calls or will be passed as parameter to some of the handlers of the component.
metaField properties can be found here.
progress type
An object detailing a file's transfer progress.

Below you find all keys and their English translation for reference. Please note that some keys are nested in a complex object, such as
For this to work properly, you have to provide the property of the nested object directly with the key, separated with a dot as in
