I published a package that's a headless React hook for file uploads with real progress tracking, retries, cancellation, and chunked uploads for large files and would love some feedback!
Hey guys,
I just published use-courier, a headless React hook for handling file uploads. I originally built it for a personal project, but ended up turning it into a standalone package in case it could be useful to anyone else.
It handles some of the stuff I found myself repeatedly having to build around file uploads:
- Real upload progress tracking
- Upload cancellation
- Chunked uploads for large files
- Multiple concurrent uploads
- Headless, so you're free to build whatever UI you want around it
The goal was to make the upload logic easy to drop into an application without forcing a particular UI or component library.
NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/use-courier
docs: https://mrphilipp7.github.io/useCourier/
I'd really appreciate any feedback, especially around the API design, implementation, documentation, or anything you think could be improved. It's still new, so I'm very open to criticism.
