How do I preload images into dropzone.js

Proper way to do it is to use .emit method provided by on dropzone js to add a file and thumbnail to preload images from the server. See sample code below. Taken from https://github.com/enyo/dropzone/wiki/FAQ#how-to-show-files-already-stored-on-server

// Create the mock file:
var mockFile = { name: "Filename", size: 12345 };

// Call the default addedfile event handler
myDropzone.emit("addedfile", mockFile);

// And optionally show the thumbnail of the file:
myDropzone.emit("thumbnail", mockFile, "/image/url");

.emit method from dropzone will trigger init function and if you have any addedfile event callback written for it. e.g. I am using addedfile event add remove button and also attached delete image functionality.
