Sorry for the late reply, but if this is still an issue for you or anyone, I should be able to assist.

Assuming you’re starting out with something like `create-react-app`, the first thing you’d need to do is install the packages for Uppy

```auto
npm install @uppy/react @uppy/core

```

Following this, you should set up a component with your uppy instance and a Dashboard

```javascript
// src/components/Dashboard.jsx

import React from 'react'
import Uppy from '@uppy/core'
import { DashboardModal } from '@uppy/react'

// Adds all the needed css
import '@uppy/core/dist/style.css'
import '@uppy/dashboard/dist/style.css'

export default class Dashboard extends React.Component {
  constructor (props) {
    super(props)
    this.uppy = Uppy()
    // load your plugins here
  }

  componentWillUnmount () {
    this.uppy.close()
  }

  render () {
    // pass any options that would be used when initializing the dashboard as props
    return <DashboardModal uppy={this.uppy}/>
  }
}

```

Then wherever you need your Dashboard, you can import this component. Most of this code comes from [here](https://uppy.io/docs/react/dashboard-modal/)

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further problems or questions
