Get Dropzone Instance/Object using jQuery

Question

I use jQuery to work with dropzone. e.g.

$("#mydropzone").dropzone({ /*options*/ });

I need to get the Dropzone instance so I can call this method:

myDropzone.processQueue()

How can I achieve this? Is it possible?

in other words, how can I initialise drop zone using

$("#mydropzone").dropzone({ url: "/file/post" });

but at the same time get the instance of the object as if i initialise it using:

var myDropzone = new Dropzone("#mydropzone", { url: "/file/post"});

so I may call:

myDropzone.processQueue()

Thank you very much.

As described in issue #180

You can also use the built in Dropzone.forElement function.

var myDropzone = Dropzone.forElement("#mydropzone");
