Good (Focused on Implementation)

````

Hey r/sveltejs! Just shipped a file upload feature for Whispering and wanted to share how I implemented drag-and-drop files.

I used the [FileDropZone component from shadcn-svelte-extras](https://www.shadcn-svelte-extras.com/components/file-drop-zone), which provided a clean abstraction that allows users to drop and click to upload files:

```svelte

accept="{ACCEPT_AUDIO}, {ACCEPT_VIDEO}"

maxFiles={10}

maxFileSize={25 * MEGABYTE}

onUpload={(files) => {

if (files.length > 0) {

handleFileUpload(files);

}

}}

/>

```

The component handles web drag-and-drop, but since Whispering is a Tauri desktop app, drag-and-drop functionality didn't work on the desktop (click-to-select still worked fine). So I reached for Tauri's [onDragDropEvent](https://tauri.app/reference/javascript/api/namespacewebviewwindow/#ondragdropevent) to add native support for dragging files anywhere into the application.

You can see the [full implementation here](link) (note that the code is still somewhat messy by my standards; it is slated for cleanup!).

Whispering is a large, open-source, production Svelte 5 + Tauri app: https://github.com/EpicenterHQ/epicenter

Feel free to check it out for more patterns! If you're building Svelte 5 apps and need file uploads, definitely check out shadcn-svelte-extras. Not affiliated, it just saved me hours of implementation time.

Happy to answer any questions about the implementation!

Users were asking for file upload support...

I implemented a beautiful drag-and-drop interface...

• User-friendly interface
• Supports multiple file formats
• Lightning-fast processing

This transforms the user experience...
