+## Direct uploads
+
+Active Storage, with its included JavaScript library, supports uploading directly from the client to the cloud.
+
+### Direct upload installation
+
+1. Include `activestorage.js` in your application's JavaScript bundle.
+
+ Using the asset pipeline:
+ ```js
+ //= require activestorage
+ ```
+ Using the npm package:
+ ```js
+ import * as ActiveStorage from "activestorage"
+ ActiveStorage.start()
+ ```
+2. Annotate file inputs with the direct upload URL.
+
+ ```ruby
+ <%= form.file_field :attachments, multiple: true, data: { direct_upload_url: rails_direct_uploads_url } %>
+ ```
+3. That's it! Uploads begin upon form submission.
+
+### Direct upload JavaScript events
+
+| Event name | Event target | Event data (`event.detail`) | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `direct-uploads:start` | `<form>` | None | A form containing files for direct upload fields was submit. |

## Compatibility & Expectations
Active Storage only works with the development version of Rails 5.2+ (as of July 19, 2017). This separate repository is a staging ground for the upcoming inclusion in rails/rails prior to the Rails 5.2 release. It is not intended to be a long-term stand-alone repository.
