I have a code which creates a folder in my google drive and allows user to upload multiple files with file upload as a input.
Script.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
</head>
<body>
<script>
(function($){
function floatLabel(inputType){
$(inputType).each(function(){
var $this = $(this);
$this.focus(function(){
$this.next().addClass("active");
});
$this.blur(function(){
if($this.val() === '' || $this.val() === 'blank'){
$this.next().removeClass();
}
});
});
}
floatLabel(".floatLabel");
})(jQuery);
jQuery(".mail-btn").on("click touchstart", function () {
jQuery(this).addClass("fly");
that = this
setTimeout(function() {
jQuery(that).removeClass("fly");
}, 5400)
});
var rootFolderId = 'MYFOLDERID';
var numUploads = {};
numUploads.done = 0;
numUploads.total = 0;
// Upload the files into a folder in drive
// This is set to send them all to one folder (specificed in the .gs file)
function uploadFiles() {
//var allFiles = document.getElementById('myFiles').files;
var allFiles = document.querySelector('input[type=file]').files;
var applicantName = document.getElementById('pname').value;
if (!applicantName) {
window.alert('Missing applicant name!');
}
var applicantEmail = document.getElementById('email').value;
if (!applicantEmail) {
window.alert('Missing applicant email!');
}
var folderName = applicantName + ' ' + applicantEmail;
if (allFiles.length == 0) {
window.alert('No file selected!');
} else {
numUploads.total = allFiles.length;
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(function(r) {
// send files after the folder is created...
for (var i = 0; i < allFiles.length; i++) {
// Send each file at a time
uploadFile(allFiles[i], r.folderId);
}
}).createFolder(rootFolderId, folderName);
}
}
function uploadFile(file, folderId) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
var content = reader.result;
//document.getElementById('files1').innerHTML = 'uploaded '
+ file.name + '...';
//window.alert('uploading ' + file.name + '...');
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(showSuccess)
.uploadFile(content, file.name, folderId);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
//document.getElementById('Assessment-form').reset();
}
function showSuccess(e) {
$('#forminner').hide();
$('#success').show();
$('#Assessment-form').trigger("reset");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
form.html
<input type="file" id="myFiles1" class="floatLabel" name="f1" multiple>
<input type="file" id="myFiles2" class="floatLabel" name="f2" multiple>
This allows me to upload multiple files using single file button (only using myFiles1). What I am trying is to upload files in same folder using multiple file buttons(myFiles1 and myFiles2). I tried to change
var allFiles = document.querySelector('input[type=file]').files;
with multiple things such as querySelectorAll but its not working.
I have a page with four images for the user to select. I want the user to be able to preview each image on the site before upload.
The JavaScript code below works for only one image but I would like it to work for multiple images uploaded via <input type="file">.
What will be the best way to do this?
function readURL(input) {
if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
$('#output').attr('src', e.target.result);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
}
}
$("#file-input").change(function () {
readURL(this);
});
Here is jQuery version for you. I think it more simplest thing.
$(function() {
// Multiple images preview in browser
var imagesPreview = function(input, placeToInsertImagePreview) {
if (input.files) {
var filesAmount = input.files.length;
for (i = 0; i < filesAmount; i++) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(event) {
$($.parseHTML('<img>')).attr('src', event.target.result).appendTo(placeToInsertImagePreview);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[i]);
}
}
};
$('#gallery-photo-add').on('change', function() {
imagesPreview(this, 'div.gallery');
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="file" multiple id="gallery-photo-add">
<div class="gallery"></div>
Add the multiple attribute to your HTMLInputElement
Add the accept attribute to your HTMLInputElement
To filter your files selection to images only, use accept="image/*", or a comma separated MIME list: accept="image/png, image/jpeg"
Use FileReader.readAsDataURL to get the Base64 string,
or URL.createObjectURL to get the file Blob object
Using FileReader.readAsDataURL
The asynchronous way to read the image data is by using FileReader API and its readAsDataURL method which returns a Base64 String:
const preview = (file) => {
const fr = new FileReader();
fr.onload = () => {
const img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = fr.result; // String Base64
img.alt = file.name;
document.querySelector('#preview').append(img);
};
fr.readAsDataURL(file);
};
document.querySelector("#files").addEventListener("change", (ev) => {
if (!ev.target.files) return; // Do nothing.
[...ev.target.files].forEach(preview);
});
#preview img { max-height: 100px; }
<input id="files" type="file" accept="image/*" multiple>
<div id="preview"></div>
Async strategy:
Due to the asynchronous nature of FileReader, you could implement an async/await strategy:
// DOM utility functions:
const el = (sel, par) => (par || document).querySelector(sel);
const elNew = (tag, props) => Object.assign(document.createElement(tag), props);
// Preview images before upload:
const elFiles = el("#files");
const elPreview = el("#preview");
const previewImage = (props) => elPreview.append(elNew("img", props));
const reader = (file, method = "readAsDataURL") => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const fr = new FileReader();
fr.onload = () => resolve({ file, result: fr.result });
fr.onerror = (err) => reject(err);
fr[method](file);
});
const previewImages = async(files) => {
// Remove existing preview images
elPreview.innerHTML = "";
let filesData = [];
try {
// Read all files. Return Array of Promises
const readerPromises = files.map((file) => reader(file));
filesData = await Promise.all(readerPromises);
} catch (err) {
// Notify the user that something went wrong.
elPreview.textContent = "An error occurred while loading images. Try again.";
// In this specific case Promise.all() might be preferred over
// Promise.allSettled(), since it isn't trivial to modify a FileList
// to a subset of files of what the user initially selected.
// Therefore, let's just stash the entire operation.
console.error(err);
return; // Exit function here.
}
// All OK. Preview images:
filesData.forEach(data => {
previewImage({
src: data.result, // Base64 String
alt: data.file.name // File.name String
});
});
};
elFiles.addEventListener("change", (ev) => {
if (!ev.currentTarget.files) return; // Do nothing.
previewImages([...ev.currentTarget.files]);
});
#preview img { max-height: 100px; }
<input id="files" type="file" accept="image/*" multiple>
<div id="preview"></div>
Using URL.createObjectURL
The synchronous way to read the image is by using the URL API and its createObjectURL method which returns a Blob:
const preview = (file) => {
const img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = URL.createObjectURL(file); // Object Blob
img.alt = file.name;
document.querySelector('#preview').append(img);
};
document.querySelector("#files").addEventListener("change", (ev) => {
if (!ev.target.files) return; // Do nothing.
[...ev.target.files].forEach(preview);
});
#preview img { max-height: 120px; }
<input id="files" type="file" accept="image/*" multiple>
<div id="preview"></div>
Although looks much simpler, it has implications on the main thread due to its synchronicity, and requires you to manually use (when possible) URL.revokeObjectURL in order to free up memory:
// Remove unused images from #preview? Consider also using
URL.revokeObjectURL(someImg.src); // Free up memory space
jQuery example:
A jQuery implementation of the above FileReader.readAsDataURL() example:
const preview = (file) => {
const fr = new FileReader();
fr.onload = (ev) => {
$('#preview').append($("<img>", {src: fr.result, alt: file.name}));
};
fr.readAsDataURL(file);
};
$("#files").on("change", (ev) => {
if (!ev.target.files) return; // Do nothing.
[...ev.target.files].forEach(preview);
});
#preview img { max-height: 120px; }
<input id="files" type="file" accept="image/*" multiple>
<div id="preview"></div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Preview Image, get file size, image height and width before upload
Tips:
Besides using the HTMLInputElement attribute accept, if you want to make sure within JavaScript that a file is-of-type, you could:
if (!/\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$/i.test(file.name)) {
// Not a valid image
}
or like:
if (!/^image\//i.test(file.type)) {
// File is not of type Image
}
function previewMultiple(event){
var saida = document.getElementById("adicionafoto");
var quantos = saida.files.length;
for(i = 0; i < quantos; i++){
var urls = URL.createObjectURL(event.target.files[i]);
document.getElementById("galeria").innerHTML += '<img src="'+urls+'">';
}
}
#galeria{
display: flex;
}
#galeria img{
width: 85px;
height: 85px;
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
opacity: 85%;
}
<input type="file" multiple onchange="previewMultiple(event)" id="adicionafoto">
<div id="galeria">
</div>
Just use FileReader.readAsDataURL()
HTML:
<div id='photos-preview'></div>
<input type="file" id="fileupload" multiple (change)="handleFileInput($event.target.files)" />
JS:
function handleFileInput(fileList: FileList) {
const preview = document.getElementById('photos-preview');
Array.from(fileList).forEach((file: File) => {
const reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = () => {
var image = new Image();
image.src = String(reader.result);
preview.appendChild(image);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
});
}

I have a function using file reader to preview image, It works fine in single file.
However I try to achieve multiple files.
My question is how to get input files array, loop files through file reader and append img
Javascript Solution Fiddle DEMO
<input id="files" type="file" multiple="multiple" />
<output id="result" />
Pure JavaScript:
function handleFileSelect(event) {
//Check File API support
if (window.File && window.FileList && window.FileReader) {
var files = event.target.files; //FileList object
var output = document.getElementById("result");
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
var file = files[i];
//Only pics
if (!file.type.match('image')) continue;
var picReader = new FileReader();
picReader.addEventListener("load", function (event) {
var picFile = event.target;
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = "<img class='thumbnail' src='" + picFile.result + "'" + "title='" + file.name + "'/>";
output.insertBefore(div, null);
});
//Read the image
picReader.readAsDataURL(file);
}
} else {
console.log("Your browser does not support File API");
}
}
document.getElementById('files').addEventListener('change', handleFileSelect, false);
jQuery Solution
jQuery File Input Image Preview Before It Is Uploaded

}
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
}
}
$("#inputFile").change(function () {

I saw a post How do I read in a local text file with javascript?
I want to add a button to simulate an upload. So my consideration is set a watcher to onclick in onchange processing, is it possible?
Here is jsfiddle
js
function readMultipleFiles(evt) {
//Retrieve all the files from the FileList object
var files = evt.target.files;
if (files) {
for (var i = 0, f; f = files[i]; i++) {
alert(f);
var r = new FileReader();
r.onload = (function (f) {
return function (e) {
var contents = e.target.result;
alert(contents);
};
})(f);
r.readAsText(f);
}
} else {
alert("Failed to load files");
}
}
document.getElementById('fileinput').addEventListener('change', readMultipleFiles, false);
html
<input type="file" id="fileinput" multiple />
Instead of the change handler, add a button and add a click handler
<input type="file" id="fileinput" multiple />
<button id="read">Read</button>
then
jQuery(function ($) {
function readMultipleFiles(input) {
//Retrieve all the files from the FileList object
var files = input.files;
if (files && files.length) {
for (var i = 0, f; f = files[i]; i++) {
var r = new FileReader();
r.onload = (function (f) {
return function (e) {
var contents = e.target.result;
alert(contents);
};
})(f);
r.readAsText(f);
}
} else {
alert("Failed to load files");
}
}
var fileIn = $('#fileinput')[0];
$('#read').click(function () {
readMultipleFiles(fileIn)
})
})
