Upload interface

POST /api/file-upload

1. Include the js file tribe_upload.js under dist in your project (or use it as a reference to implement your own)
2. create a button that you want to program for upload with a data-target='#input-file' ('#input-file' can be anything you want, but mention a target)
3. Initialize the code by passing selector of your event initiator (i.e. button created in step 2) and defining the api URL tribeUploadUrl

<form action="#">
    <input type="file" name="upload[]" id="upload" class="form-control mb-3" multiple>
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="form-submit" data-target="#upload">Submit</button>
</form>

tribeUploadButton('#form-submit');
let tribeUploadUrl = '/api/file-upload'
