Send custom data with dropzone.js on each File Upload

Question

I am using dropzone in my Code Igniter Project.

With every drag of a file, dropzone creates an ajax request and my files is getting stored on the server too. But now

Answer 1

In case you have a nested payload object - e.g. to add a name to your file and your api only accepts something like this

{
    someParameter: {
        image: ,
        name: 'Bob'
    }
}

your dropzone setup would look like this

var myDropzone     = new Dropzone("div#attachment", { 
    url: uploadFilePath,
    paramName: 'someParameter[image]'
});

myDropzone.on('sending', function(file, xhr, formData){
    formData.append('someParameter[image]', file);
    formData.append('someParameter[userName]', 'bob');
});

I only added this as there was no example for nested parameters documented since now.
