How to customize Dropzone js?

How do I customize Dropzone js? I searched for hours, but only gone in loops. I’m trying to go from this…

To something like this…

I don’t need the background or any fancy styles, and the functionality already works. I Just mainly need the files to be like they are in the red box. But I don’t know where to start.

Here is my main.js and css I used to style what you see in the first picture…

Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;

const myDropzone = new Dropzone("#my-dropzone", {
    url: "upload/",
    maxFiles: 2,
    maxFilesize: 20,
    acceptedFiles: '.csv, .xlsx',
    preview_image: false,
    inputLabelWithFiles: false,
    // autoProcessQueue: false,
    // uploadMultiple: True,
    // previewTemplate: '',
})

body {
    background-color: #f8f8f8;
}

.dz {
    border: dashed !important;
    border-color: #ccc !important;
    border-radius: 10px !important;
}

.dz:hover {
    background-color: aliceblue !important;
}

Answer

Ok, so I thought I needed to edit the dropzone’s html, which I could not find. However, I realized I only needed css. After trying different things, this is now what it looks like… And here is the updated style.css…

body {
    background-color: #f8f8f8;
}

.dz {
    margin-top: 180px;
    border: dashed !important;
    border-color: #ccc !important;
    border-radius: 10px !important;

    /* REQUIRED. This will prevent the dropzone area from getting bigger.*/
    max-height: 150px !important;
}


/* Here are the other styles for Dropzone. 
These will give it the same look as in the
picture. Which I think is better for non image files.*/

/* Manually place the uploaded files.*/
.dropzone .dz-preview {
    top: 200px !important;
    margin: 0px !important;
    min-height: 0px !important;
}

/* Manually create the shape of the bubble.*/
.dz-image {
    width: 1000px !important;
    height: 20px !important;
    /* Add this to create cool colors, if you want. */
    /* background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #28a745, #dc3545) !important; */
    position: relative;
}

/* Manually put the file size into the bubble. */
.dropzone .dz-preview .dz-details > .dz-size {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px !important;
}

/* Manually put the file name into the bubble.*/
.dz-details > .dz-filename {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px !important;
    left: 100px !important;
}

/* Put the details below the upload area and button. */
.dz-details {
    position: absolute;
    top: 305.5px;
}

/* Make the loading bar slim and cover 80% of the file bubble.*/
.dropzone .dz-preview .dz-progress {
    position: relative !important;
    height: 6px !important;
    left: 0px !important;
    width: 80% !important;
    margin-left: 97px !important;
    border-radius: 0px !important;
}

/* Haven't changed the checkbox that comes after the loading bar.*/

You could also implement these into the dropzone.css file, if you downloaded that. I already did it…

        border-bottom: 6px solid #be2626; }

Just copy all that and swap out your existing dropzone.css file if you want this same look. Anyway hopes this helps anyone else who wants to use dropzone with this type of style. Which I think is very idea of any non image files. No html javascript or anything else. Just pure css.
