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'
