A. How to use with upload button

    filepicker.pick();
   

Sample integration

if (Meteor.isClient) {
  Session.set("widgetSet", false);
  var key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

  Template.home.rendered = function ( ) { 
    if (!Session.get("widgetSet")) {  
      loadPicker(key);
    }
  };

  Template.home.events({
    'click button' : function () {
      filepicker.pick();
    }
  });

      var cb = function () {
        filepicker.constructWidget(document.getElementById('constructed-widget'));
        filepicker.makeDropPane($('#exampleDropPane')[0], { });
      };
      loadPicker(key, cb);
    }
  };
