The Flatfile Component - @flatfile/react

We've made it really simple for you to get started with Flatfile with our new Flatfile Component. Here's what you'll need to know to get started.

Getting started with Embed

First, create an Embed in the Flatfile dashboard. Next, install the dependency via npm:

npm install @flatfile/react --save

The FlatfileButton usage

import { FlatfileButton } from '@flatfile/react'

<FlatfileButton
  token={'YOUR_JWT'}
  onInit={({ batchId }) => console.log(`Flatfile importer is launched with batchId: ${batchId}`)}
  onComplete={async (payload) => {
    const SAMPLE_DATA = true
    console.log(JSON.stringify(await payload.data(SAMPLE_DATA), null, 4))
  }}
  onError={(err) => console.error(err)}
/>

Getting started with Portal

Important note: While the below info is a basic way to get up and running, we recommend reading the developer docs → https://flatfile.io/developers/react/getting-started

First, install the dependency via npm:

npm install @flatfile/react@^0 --save

This will give you access to the <FlatfileButton /> component as well as the same basic functionality as our Adapter.

The FlatfileButton usage

import { FlatfileButton } from '@flatfile/react'
