How can I integrate Dropzone.js in Ruby on Rails 7.1.2

Question

I'm attempting to integrate dropzone.js in Rail version 7.1.2, but JavaScript does not work. There appears to be a problem with importing node modules in the most recent version of Rails, so I manually added the CSS styles for the dropzone in the stylesheets' folder; however, this approach does not work for JavaScript. Another thing I observed is that the Dropzone js cdn works, but I need to load the JavaScript locally.

This is my application.js file

// Entry point for the build script in your package.json
import "@hotwired/turbo-rails"
import "./controllers"


import jquery from "jquery"

//= require dropzone

window.jQuery = jquery
window.$ = jquery



window.Dropzone = require(dropzone)


// import "trix"
// import "@rails/actiontext/"

Answer 1

$ yarn add dropzone

// app/javascript/application.js

import Dropzone from "dropzone";

document.addEventListener("turbo:load", function(event) {
  let myDropzone = new Dropzone(".dropzone");
  myDropzone.on("addedfile", file => {
    console.log(`File added: ${file.name}`);
  });
})

<!-- app/views/layouts/application.html.erb -->

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/dropzone@5/dist/min/dropzone.min.css" type="text/css" />

# _form.html.erb

<%= form_with url: "/", class: :dropzone do |f| %>
  <%= f.file_field :img %>
<% end %>
