I'm looking for a similar solution, but the front-end is written in VueJs, and Axios for POST and GET requests, since I couldn'd find a way to send the actual file to the server I'm going with a solution close to your second option, has some extra steps but it's clean and somehow more verbose for multiple uploads, loading notifications and progress tracker.
