Implementing HTML5 drag+drop uploader

I'm looking to implement an HTML5 drag+drop uploader into our frappe system, and I'm having some trouble getting the data passed from the client to server. I created an endpoint at /api/method/dotted.path.to.upload and then tried pointing a plugin like https://github.com/weixiyen/jquery-filedrop to the previous url. However, I'm unable to recover the file in my python function (stub located here: https://gist.github.com/bkiu/0148798241fafa10e312)

I looked at frappe.upload.make, but it uses a dialog instead of allowing for the use of drag and drop. Is there a way I can retrieve the data file from my custom API function?

Thanks.

Why don't you fork your code and send a pull-request, really hard to explain this way.


Thanks.

I'm on a private repo for work, but I've copied the code and made a new repo here: https://github.com/bkiu/school_management with the code in question. Let me know if that will work.

Brendan,

Why don't you buy developer support? Or make your project Open Source.

http://frappe.io/buy/

I hope you understand our lack of incentive for helping out on projects that wont contribute back to the community.

best,
Rushabh
