React-butterfiles only accepts PDF format

[Misbah-Mushtaq]

React-butterfiles only accepts PDF format.

I have started using this library for images, but now I want to upload documents as well, and I am trying to upload the given formats
Is there any way to do it?
".doc",
".docx",
".htm",
".html",
".odt",
".pdf",
".xls",
".xlsx",
".ppt",
".pptx",
".txt"

You're not restricted to PDF only, if your component only accepts PDF format you need to add more types to the accept prop array.

Have a read through the MDN entry on HTML drag and drop API, and the MIME type stuff, as this library is essentially a wrapper around that. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DataTransferItem/type

@readeral can you please provide an example with the below given formats in accept prop?
I tried it earlier, and it is only picking up the PDF, though it is showing multiple formats while browsing, I have added a console to the onSuccess event, and it's only logging the input when I upload PDF format.
".doc",
".docx",
".htm",
".html",
".odt",
".pdf",
".xls",
".xlsx",
".ppt",
".pptx",
".txt"

If you could please provide an example with some of the above formats other than PDF? @readeral @adrians5j

@readeral, I have noticed a particular scenario. If I give all these formats to accept props then it doesn't work as it should, but when I remove the prop and do it without the prop then it is accepting all types of documents.
