Overwrite option for dropbox filesUpload Javascript API?

Question

I am using following code snippet for uploading a file to Dropbox

dbx.filesUpload({path:"/"+file.name, contents:content})
    .then(function(response) {
      console.log(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.error(error);
    });

This is working as intended but throwing a path conflict error second time onward because the file exists already. How can I set the overwrite option true in the filesUpload() ?

You can specify the 'overwrite' FilesWriteMode in the FilesCommitInfo passed to filesUpload like this:

  dbx.filesUpload({path:"/"+file.name, contents:content, mode:'overwrite'})
  .then(function(response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    console.error(error);
  });
