Style.css
Style.css function is a css function that we create to create a view of the Dropzone.js look more interesting, DropZone.js view is very influential from the style.css result that we make. code for style.css is as follows:

*{

    width:760px;
    margin:30px auto;
    border: 4px dashed #D2691E;
    border-radius:4px;
    padding: 20px 5px;

b. index.html
In addition to the style.css function for creating image input using Dropzone.js we also need the index.html file, the index.html file is used to combine the css function and java script functions required by Dropzone.js. other than that html file also works for media or place where we will write text from dropzone which will be displayed in browser screen.

<head><title>Drop Zone.Js<title></head>
    <script src="dropzone-master/dist/dropzone.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="dropzone-master/dist/dropzone.css" type="text/css" />

<body>
<div class="wrap">
    <h1> dropzone-master </h1>
    <form action="/file-upload" class="dropzone" id="my-awesome-dropzone">
        <div class="fallback">
