  What does your REST API expect for the file upload in terms of parameters and data?

  I wrote my own code for uploading files without server script. I created a datatables button and wrote the file handling code in action, here it is:

  {
      text: 'Upload CSV',
      action: function (e, dt, node, config) {
          $('#trigger').click();
          $('#uploadfile').on('click', function () {
              $.ajax({
                  url: fileurl,
                  type: 'POST',
                  data: new FormData($('form')[0]),
                  headers: {
                      'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + session_token
                  },
                  cache: false,
                  contentType: false,
                  processData: false,
                  xhr: function () {
                      var myXhr = $.ajaxSettings.xhr();
                      if (myXhr.upload) {
                          myXhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', function (e) {
                              if (e.lengthComputable) {
                                  $('progress').attr({
                                      value: e.loaded,
                                      max: e.total,
                                  });
                              }
                          }, false);
                      }
                      return myXhr;
                  }
              });
              table.ajax.load();
  
          });
      }
  }
