tus-js-client is a pure JavaScript client library for the tus resumable upload protocol, an HTTP-based protocol for interruptible, resumable file uploads. It runs in browsers, Node.js, React Native, and Apache Cordova, handling retries, progress reporting, and resuming interrupted uploads.

Use cases

• upload large files reliably from the browser
• resume interrupted file uploads after network failures
• add pause and resume to a file uploader
• upload files from a React Native or Cordova app
• show upload progress with retry on flaky mobile networks
• implement a client for a tus-compatible upload server

When to choose

• your server (or a service like Vimeo) speaks the tus protocol
• users upload large files over unreliable networks and you need resumability
• you need one uploader that works across browser, Node.js, and mobile environments

When to avoid

• your backend only accepts plain multipart/form-data uploads and you cannot deploy a tus server
• you only upload tiny files where resumability adds no value
• you need a full upload UI widget rather than a protocol client library
