This is a simple File Upload Script that contains code for both the client and server side. It is only compatible with modern browsers(>= IE10) because the FormData Object is heavily used. The excellent jQuery File Upload was an inspiration and is preferable due to the fact that it handles legacy browsers.

Here is a live demo. Once this script is cloned/installed, it should work right out of the box. If you are having issues, you may need to change the permissions on the upload folder

While doing this project, it occured to me way to late that file upload is usually a blocking I/O operation and, thusly, would make the perfect use-case for leveraging Node on the server side. The server.js file was my attempt at using Node and I will probably finish that sometime tomorrow. I just wanted to explain why that server.js file was in the project.

So there's obviously a ton more that you can do with a file upload utility. Here is a list of my todo's:

• Implement Drag and Drop API
• May be overkill for this project, but integrate into a front-end framework
• Run Jasmine/PHPUnit Test
• Sync testing w/ Travis CI
• restrict certain files based on type
• resize image uploads
• allow sorting of file directory
• Include animations that tween between states
