<template>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row justify-content-center">
            <div class="col-md-8">

                        <vue-dropzone ref="myVueDropzone" id="dropzone" :options="dropzoneOptions"></vue-dropzone>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>
  
<script>
  
import vue2Dropzone from 'vue2-dropzone'
import 'vue2-dropzone/dist/vue2Dropzone.min.css'
   
    export default {
     components: {
        vueDropzone: vue2Dropzone
      },
      data: function () {

          }
        }
      },
        mounted() {
