bootstrap-fileinput
An enhanced HTML 5 file input for Bootstrap 3.x with file preview for various files, offers multiple selection, and more. The plugin allows you a simple way to setup an advanced file picker/upload control built to work specially with Bootstrap CSS3 styles. It enhances the file input functionality further, by offering support to preview a wide variety of files i.e. images, text, html, video, audio, flash, and objects. In addition, it includes AJAX based uploads, dragging & dropping files, viewing upload progress, and selectively previewing, adding, or deleting files.
This plugin was initially inspired by this blog article and Jasny's File Input plugin. But the plugin has now matured with various additional features and enhancements to be a complete (yet simple) file management tool and solution for web developers.
NOTE: The latest version of the plugin is v4.2.8 (dev-master). Refer the CHANGE LOG for details.
Features
File Input Features
- The plugin will convert a simple HTML file input to an advanced file picker control. Will help fallback to a normal HTML file input for browsers not supporting JQuery or Javascript.
- The file input consists of the following three sections with options and templates to control the display:
- file caption section: to display a brief information of the file(s) selected
- file action buttons section: to browse, remove, and upload files.
- file preview section: to display the selected files on client for preview (supports preview of image, text, flash, and video file types). Other file types will be displayed as normal thumbnails.
- The plugin automatically converts an input with
type = file
to an advanced file picker input if you set itsclass = file
. All options to the input can be passed as HTML5data
attributes. - Ability to select and preview multiple files. Uses HTML 5 File reader API to read and preview files. Displays the progress of files being being loaded onto the preview zone, in case many files are chosen.
- Offers predefined templates and CSS classes which can be changed to style your file-input display as per your needs.
- With v1.5.0, you can now configure the plugin to show an initial preview of images/files with initial caption
(more useful for record update scenarios). Refer the
initialPreview
andinitialCaption
properties in the plugin options section for configuring this. - Option to show/hide any or all of the following:
- caption section
- preview section
- upload button
- remove button
- Customise the location of the target container elements to display the entire plugin, the caption container, the caption text, the preview container, preview image, and preview status.
- For text file previews, autowrap the text to the thumbnail width, and show a wrap indicator link to display complete text on hover. You can customize the wrap indicator (which defaults to …).
- Customise the messages for preview, progress, and files selected.
- Upload action defaults to form submit. Supports an upload route/server action parameter for custom ajax based upload.
- Triggers JQuery events for advanced development. Events currently available are
filereset
,fileclear
,filecleared
,fileloaded
, andfileerror
. - Disabled and readonly file input support.
- Dynamically auto size the file captions for long file names exceeding container width.
- Raise new
fileimageuploaded
event that fires after image is completely loaded on the preview container. - Autosize preview images when they exceed the size of the preview container.
- Completely templatized and extensible to allow configuration of the file-input the way the developer wants.
- Preview intelligence based on various file preview types. The inbuilt file support types are categorized as
image
,text
,html
,video
,audio
,flash
,object
, andother
. allowedPreviewTypes
: You can now configure which all file types are allowed to be shown as a preview. This defaults to['image', 'html', 'text', 'video', 'audio', 'flash', 'object']
. Thus all file types are treated as an object to preview by default. For exampleTo preview onlyimage
andvideo
, you can set this to['image', 'video']
.allowedPreviewMimeTypes
: In addition toallowedPreviewTypes
, you can also control which all mime types can be displayed for preview. This defaults to null, meaning all mime types are supported.
NOTE: With release 2.5.0 you can now control which file types or extensions are allowed for upload by setting
allowedFileTypes
andallowedFileExtensions
.
layoutTemplates
: Allows you to configure all layout template settings within one property. The layout objects that can be configured are:main1
,main2
,preview
,caption
, andmodal
.previewTemplates
: All preview templates for each preview type have been combined into one property, instead of separate templates for image, text etc. The keys are the formats as set inallowedPreviewTypes
and values are the templates used for previewing. There are default prebuilt templates for each preview file type (generic
,image
,text
,html
,video
,audio
,flash
,object
, andother
). Thegeneric
template is used only for displayinginitialPreview
content using direct markup.previewSettings
: Allows you to configure width and height for each preview image type. The plugin has default widths and heights predefined for each type i.eimage
,text
,html
,video
,audio
,flash
, andobject
.fileTypeSettings
: Allows you to configure and identify each preview file type using a callback. The plugin has default callbacks predefined to identify each type i.eimage
,text
,html
,video
,audio
,flash
, andobject
.- Replacing tags within templates has been enhanced. With this release it will automatically check for multiple occurrences of each tag to replace within a template string.
- Manipulate events and add your own custom validation messages easily by returning output to abort uploads in any of the other events.
- Support for translations and locales.
File Upload Features
With release 4.0.0, the plugin now also includes inbuilt support for AJAX Uploads and selectively adding or deleting files. AJAX upload functionality are built upon HTML5 FormData and XMLHttpRequest Level 2 standards. Most modern browsers do support this standard, but the plugin will automatically degrade to normal form based submission for unsupported browsers.
- Add functionality for AJAX based UPLOAD using HTML5 FormData (most modern browsers support it). Will degrade to normal Form Based File submission if this is not supported.
- To use AJAX Upload, one must set the
uploadUrl
property. - Enhance plugin to now allow files to be added, appended, removed (based on FEEDBACK from many). Thus one can append files to preview.
- New DRAG & DROP zone available in preview to drag and drop files and append.
- Delete or upload files one by one OR in batch.
- If
showPreview
is set to false, or uploadUrl is not supported plugin will degrade to normal form based upload. - Configurable indicators for file awaiting upload, file successfully uploaded, files errored in upload.
- Ability to add extra form data with ajax based uploads.
- Upload progress bar and individual thumbnail upload indicators.
- Ability to cancel and abort ongoing AJAX uploads.
- Build up initial preview content (e.g. gallery of saved images). You can set initial preview actions (prebuilt support for initial preview delete). Other custom action buttons can be set for initial preview thumbnails as well.
- Ensure plugin is still lean in size and optimized for performance inspite of the above features by optimally utilizing HTML5 & jquery features only.
- Automatically refresh preview with content from server as soon as an ajax upload finishes.
- Ability to resize images has been added since release v4.2.7. The browser must support HTML5 canvas for resizing images. In addition, this release includes various enhancements for upload management without a preview.
NOTE: Drag and Drop zone functionality, selectively appending or deleting files, and upload indicator with progress are ONLY AVAILABLE if you use AJAX BASED uploads (by setting
uploadUrl
).
Demo

Pre-requisites
- Bootstrap 3.x
- Latest JQuery
- Most modern browsers supporting HTML5 (inputs and FileReader API) including CSS3 & JQuery. For Internet Explorer, one must use IE versions 10 and above. IE9 and below will work as a normal file input, and will not support multiple file selection or the HTML 5 FileReader API.
- With release 4.0, AJAX uploads are supported. AJAX uploads require that the browser support HTML5 FormData and XHR2 (XMLHttpRequest 2). Most modern browsers support FormData and XHR2. The plugin will automatically degrade to normal form based submission for browsers not supporting AJAX uploads.
Installation
Using Bower
You can use the bower
package manager to install. Run:
bower install bootstrap-fileinput
Using Composer
You can use the composer
package manager to install. Either run:
$ php composer.phar require kartik-v/bootstrap-fileinput "@dev"
or add:
"kartik-v/bootstrap-fileinput": "@dev"
to your composer.json file
Manual Install
You can also manually install the plugin easily to your project. Just download the source ZIP or TAR ball and extract the plugin assets (css and js folders) into your project.
Usage
Step 1: Load the following assets in your header.
<!-- canvas-to-blob.min.js is only needed if you wish to resize images before upload. This must be loaded before fileinput.min.js --><!-- bootstrap.js below is only needed if you wish to the feature of viewing details of text file preview via modal dialog --><!-- optionally if you need translation for your language then include locale file as mentioned below -->
If you noticed, you need to load the jquery.min.js
and bootstrap.min.css
in addition to the fileinput.min.css
and fileinput.min.js
. The locale file fileinput_locale_<lang>.js
can be optionally included for translating for your language if needed.
NOTE: The canvas-to-blob.min.js
file is the source for the JavaScript-Canvas-to-Blob plugin by blueimp. It is required to be loaded before fileinput.js
if you wish to use the image resize feature of the bootstrap-fileinput plugin. For ease of access, the plugin source for JavaScript-Canvas-to-Blob is included in the js/plugins
folder of this project repository.
Step 2: Initialize the plugin on your page. For example,
// initialize with defaults; // with plugin options;
The #input-id
is the identifier for the input (e.g. type = file
) on your page, which is hidden automatically by the plugin.
Alternatively, you can directly call the plugin options by setting data attributes to your input field.
Translations
As shown in the installation section, translations are now enabled with release 4.1.8. You can load a locale file /fileinput_locale_<lang>.js
after the core fileinput.min.js
file, where <lang>
is the language code (e.g. de
, fr
etc.). If locale file does not exist, you can submit a translation for the new language via a new pull request to add to this folder. Use the sample locale file to copy and create a translation configuration for your own language.
Plugin Options
The plugin supports these following options:
language
string language configuration for the plugin to enable the plugin to display messages for your locale (you must set the ISO code for the language). You can have multiple language widgets on the same page. The locale JS file for the language code must be defined as mentioned in the translations section. The file must be loaded after fileinput.js
.

. When set to false
, a next batch of files selected for upload will clear these thumbnails from preview.
autoReplace
boolean whether to automatically replace the files in the preview after the maxFileCount
limit is reached and a new set of file(s) is/are selected. This will only work if a valid maxFileCount
is set. Defaults to false
.

. Defaults to '*$$*'
.
initialPreview
string | array the initial preview content to be displayed. You can pass the minimal HTML markup for displaying your image, text, or file.
If set as a string, this will display a single file in the initial preview if there is no delimiter. You can set a delimiter (as defined
in initialDelimiter
) to show multiple files in initial preview. If set as an array, it will display all files in the array as an
initial preview (useful for multiple file upload scenarios).
The following CSS classes will need to be added for displaying each file type as per the plugin style theme:
- image files: Include CSS class
file-preview-image
- text files: Include CSS class
file-preview-text
- other files: Include CSS class
file-preview-other
Examples of how you can setup various files for initial preview:
// for image filesinitialPreview: "<img src='/images/desert.jpg' class='file-preview-image' alt='Desert' title='Desert'>" "<img src='/images/jellyfish.jpg' class='file-preview-image' alt='Jelly Fish' title='Jelly Fish'>" // for text filesinitialPreview: "<div class='file-preview-text' title='NOTES.txt'>" + "This is the sample text file content upto wrapTextLength of 250 characters" + "<span class='wrap-indicator' onclick='$(\"#show-detailed-text\").modal(\"show\")' title='NOTES.txt'>[…]</span>" + "</div>" // for other files initialPreview: "<div class='file-preview-text'>" + "<h2><i class='glyphicon glyphicon-file'></i></h2>" + "Filename.xlsx" + "</div>"

- `width`: _string_, the CSS width of the image/content displayed.
- `url`: _string_, the URL for deleting the image/content in the initial preview via AJAX post response. This will default to `deleteUrl` if not set.
- `key`: _string|object_, the key that will be passed as data to the `url` via AJAX POST.
- `frameClass`: _string_, the additional frame css class to set for the file's thumbnail frame.
- `frameAttr`: _object_, the HTML attribute settings (set as key:value pairs) for the thumbnail frame.
- `extra`: _object|function_, the extra data that will be passed as data to the initial preview delete url/AJAX server call via POST. This will default to `deleteExtraData` if not set.
An example configuration of initialPreviewConfig
(for the previously set initialPreviewContent
) can be:
// setup initial preview with data keys initialPreview: "<img src='/images/desert.jpg' class='file-preview-image' alt='Desert' title='Desert'>" "<img src='/images/jellyfish.jpg' class='file-preview-image' alt='Jelly Fish' title='Jelly Fish'>"// initial preview configurationinitialPreviewConfig: caption: 'desert.jpg' width: '120px' url: '/localhost/avatar/delete' key: 100 extra: id: 100 caption: 'jellyfish.jpg' width: '120px' url: '/localhost/avatar/delete' key: 101 frameClass: 'my-custom-frame-css' frameAttr: style: 'height:80px' title: 'My Custom Title' { return id: ; }
Note: The ajax delete action will send the following data to server via POST:
key
: the key setting as setup ininitialPreviewConfig['key']
- any other extra data as
key: value
pairs passed either viainitialPreviewConfig['extra']
ORdeleteExtraData
format if former is not set.
initialPreviewShowDelete
bool, whether the delete button will be displayed for each thumbnail that has been created with initialPreview
.
previewThumbTags
array, this will be a list of tags used in thumbnail templates that will be replaced dynamically within the thumbnail markup, when the thumbnail is rendered. For example:
// change thumbnail footer templatelayoutTemplatesfooter = '<div class="file-thumbnail-footer">\n' +' <div class="file-caption-name">{caption}</div>\n' +' {CUSTOM_TAG_NEW}\n' +' {CUSTOM_TAG_INIT}\n' +' {actions}\n' +'</div>'; // set preview template tagspreviewThumbTags = '{CUSTOM_TAG_NEW}': '<span class="custom-css">CUSTOM MARKUP</span>' '{CUSTOM_TAG_INIT}': ' ';
initialPreviewThumbTags
array, this is an extension of previewThumbTags
specifically for initial preview content - but will be configured as an array of objects corresponding to each initial preview thumbnail. The initial preview thumbnails set via initialPreview
will read this configuration for replacing tags. Extending example above:
// change thumbnail footer templatelayoutTemplatesfooter = '<div class="file-thumbnail-footer">\n' +' <div class="file-caption-name">{caption}</div>\n' +' {CUSTOM_TAG_NEW}\n' +' {CUSTOM_TAG_INIT}\n' +' {actions}\n' +'</div>'; // setup initial preview with data keys initialPreview: "<img src='/images/desert.jpg' class='file-preview-image' alt='Desert' title='Desert'>" "<img src='/images/jellyfish.jpg' class='file-preview-image' alt='Jelly Fish' title='Jelly Fish'>" // set initial preview template tagsinitialPreviewThumbTags = '{CUSTOM_TAG_NEW}': ' ' '{CUSTOM_TAG_INIT}': '<span class="custom-css">CUSTOM MARKUP</span>';
deleteExtraData
object | function the extra data that will be passed as data to the initial preview delete url/AJAX server call via POST. This will be overridden by the initialPreviewConfig['extra']
property. This can be setup either as an object (associative array of keys and values) or as a function callback. As an object, it can be set for example as:
id: 100 value: '100 Details'
As a function callback, it can be setup for example as:
{ var obj = {}; ; return obj;}
deleteUrl
object | function the URL for deleting the image/content in the initial preview via AJAX post response. This will be overridden by the initialPreviewConfig['url']
property.
initialCaption

is set to
true
this will default to "{preview-file-count} files selected"
, where {preview-file-count}
is the count of the
files passed in initialPreview
.
overwriteInitial
boolean whether you wish to overwrite the initial preview content and caption setup. This defaults to true
, whereby, any initialPreview
content set
will be overwritten, when new file is uploaded or when files are cleared. Setting it to false
will help displaying a saved image or file from database always -
useful especially when using the multiple
file upload feature.

The values of the constants used in the above templates are as follows:
STYLE_SETTING = 'style="width:{width};height:{height};"'OBJECT_PARAMS = ' <param name="controller" value="true" />\n' + ' <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />\n' + ' <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />\n' + ' <param name="autoPlay" value="false" />\n' + ' <param name="autoStart" value="false" />\n'+ ' <param name="quality" value="high" />\n'DEFAULT_PREVIEW = '<div class="file-preview-other">\n' + ' <span class="{previewFileIconClass}">{previewFileIcon}</span>\n' + '</div>'
where:
{previewFileIcon}
: corresponds to the previewFileIcon property.{previewFileIconClass}
: corresponds to the previewFileIconClass property.
allowedFileTypes
array the list of allowed file types for upload. This by default is set to null which means the plugin supports all file types for upload. If an
invalid file type is found, then a validation error message as set in msgInvalidFileType
will be raised. The following types as set in fileTypeSettings
are available for setup.
'image' 'html' 'text' 'video' 'audio' 'flash' 'object'
allowedFileExtensions
array the list of allowed file extensions for upload. This by default is set to null which means the plugin supports all file extensions for upload. If an
invalid file extension is found, then a validation error message as set in msgInvalidFileExtension
will be raised. An example of setting this could be:
'jpg' 'gif' 'png' 'txt'
NOTE: You need to be careful in case you are setting both
allowedFileTypes
andallowedFileExtensions
. In this case, theallowedFileTypes
property is validated first and generally precedes theallowedFileExtensions
setting (and the latter validation maybe skipped).
allowedPreviewTypes
array the list of allowed preview types for your widget. This by default supports all file types for preview. The plugin by default treats each
file as an object if it does not match any of the previous types. To disable this behavior, you can remove object
from the list of allowedPreviewTypes
OR fine tune it through allowedPreviewMimeTypes
. To disable content preview for all file-types and show the previewIcon
instead as a thumbnail, set this to null, empty, or false
.
This is by default setup as following:
'image' 'html' 'text' 'video' 'audio' 'flash' 'object'
allowedPreviewMimeTypes
array the list of allowed mime types for preview. This is set to null by default which means all possible mime types are allowed. This setting works in combination with allowedPreviewTypes
to filter only the needed file types allowed for preview. You can check this list of allowed mime types to add to this list if needed.
defaultPreviewContent
string the default content / markup to show by default in the preview window whenever the files are cleared or the input is cleared. This can be useful for use cases like showing the default user profile picture or profile image before upload to overwrite. This is a bit different from initialPreview
in the sense, that the initialPreview
content will always be displayed unless it is deleted or overwritten based on overwriteInitial
. The defaultPreviewContent
on the other hand will only be shown ONLY on initialization OR whenever you clear the preview. At other times when files have been selected this will be overwritten temporarily until file(s) selected is/are cleared.
customLayoutTags
object the list of additional custom tags that will be replaced in the layout templates. This should be an associative array object of key: value
pairs, where:
key
: string, is the tag to be replaced and as a standard is recommended to be enclosed between braces.value
: string|function, is the value that will replace the tag key above. This can be setup either as a string or callback function.
For example:
// example 1 - tags with value set as stringcustomLayoutTags: '{tagA}': '<span class="label label-default">Tag A</span>' '{tagB}': 'Tag B' // example 2 - tags with value set as callbackcustomLayoutTags: { return ; }
customPreviewTags
object the list of additional custom tags that will be replaced in the preview templates. This should be an associative array object of key: value
pairs, where:
key
: string, is the tag to be replaced and as a standard is recommended to be enclosed between braces.value
: string|function, is the value that will replace the tag key above. This can be setup either as a string or callback function.
For example:
// example 1 - tags with value set as stringcustomPreviewTags: '{tagA}': '<span class="label label-default">Tag A</span>' '{tagB}': 'Tag B' // example 2 - tags with value set as callbackcustomPreviewTags: { return ; }
previewSettings
object the format settings (width and height) for rendering each preview file type. This is by default setup as following:
image: width: "auto" height: "160px" html: width: "213px" height: "160px" text: width: "160px" height: "136px" video: width: "213px" height: "160px" audio: width: "213px" height: "80px" flash: width: "213px" height: "160px" object: width: "160px" height: "160px" other: width: "160px" height: "160px"
fileTypeSettings
object the settings to validate and identify each file type when a file is selected for upload. This is a list of callbacks, which accepts the file mime type and file name as a parameter. This is by default setup as following:
// vType: is the file mime type// vName: is the file name { return typeof vType !== "undefined" ? vType : vName; } { return typeof vType !== "undefined" ? vType == 'text/html' : vName; } { return typeof vType !== "undefined" && vType || vName; } { return typeof vType !== "undefined" && vType || vName; } { return typeof vType !== "undefined" && vType || vName; } { return typeof vType !== "undefined" && vType == 'application/x-shockwave-flash' || vName; } { return true; } { return true; }
previewFileIcon
string the default icon to be shown in each preview file thumbnail when an unreadable file type for preview is detected. Defaults to <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-file"></i>
.
previewFileIconClass
string the CSS class to be applied to the preview file icon container. Defaults to file-icon-4x
.
previewFileIconSettings
object the preview icon markup settings for each file extension (type). You need to set this as key: value
pairs, where the key
corresponds to a file extension (e.g. doc
, docx
, xls
etc.), and the value
corresponds to the markup of the icon to be rendered. If this is not set OR a file extension is not set here, the preview will default to previewFileIcon. Note that displaying the icons instead of file content is controlled via allowedPreviewTypes and allowedPreviewMimeTypes.
You can setup previewFileIconSettings
as shown below:
previewFileIconSettings: 'doc': '<i class="fa fa-file-word-o text-primary"></i>' 'xls': '<i class="fa fa-file-excel-o text-success"></i>' 'ppt': '<i class="fa fa-file-powerpoint-o text-danger"></i>' 'jpg': '<i class="fa fa-file-photo-o text-warning"></i>' 'pdf': '<i class="fa fa-file-pdf-o text-danger"></i>' 'zip': '<i class="fa fa-file-archive-o text-muted"></i>'
previewFileExtSettings
object the extensions to be auto derived for each file extension (type). This is useful if you want to set the same icon for multiple file extension types. You need to set this as key: value
pairs, where the key
corresponds to a file extension as set in previewFileIconSettings (e.g. doc
, docx
, xls
etc.). The value
will be a function callback that accepts the following parameter:
ext
: string, the file extension (without the.
[dot]) of the file currently selected in the preview
You can configure the callback to match the set of file extensions (via regex or similar) for each key
and return a boolean output if the file extension matches.
For example, you can setup previewFileExtSettings
as shown below:
previewFileExtSettings: { return ext; } { return ext; } { return ext; }

string the title to display on hover for the file remove button. Defaults to Upload selected files
.
uploadUrl
string the URL for the upload processing action (typically for ajax based processing). Defaults to null
. If this is not set or null
, then the upload button action will default to form submission. NOTE: This is MANDATORY if you want to use advanced features like drag & drop, append/remove files, selectively upload files via ajax etc.
uploadAsync
bool whether the batch upload of multiple files will be asynchronous/in parallel. Defaults to true
.
uploadExtraData
object | function the extra data that will be passed as data to the url/AJAX server call via POST. This can be setup either as an object (associative array of keys and values) or as a function callback. As an object, it can be set for example as:
id: 100 value: '100 Details'
As a function callback, the uploadExtraData
can be setup as shown below. Note that for uploading individual file via thumbnail, the callback can also receive the thumbnail previewId
and index
as parameters. These are described below:
previewId
: the identifier for the preview file container (only available when uploading each thumbnail file)index
: the zero-based sequential index of the loaded file in the preview list (only available when uploading each thumbnail file)
// previewId and index is only available for individual file upload via the thumbnail { var obj = {}; ; return obj;}

. Note that resizing images requires HTML5 canvas support which is supported on most modern browsers. In addition, you must include the JavaScript-Canvas-to-Blob plugin by blueimp by including canvas-to-blob.js
in your application. This JS file must be loaded before fileinput.js
on the page. The JavaScript-Canvas-to-Blob source files are available in js/plugins
folder of bootstrap-fileinput project page. The canvas-to-blob.js
plugin is a polyfill for canvas.toBlob
method and is needed for allowing the resized image files via HTML5 canvas to be returned as a blob.
resizePreference
string preference to resize the image based on width
or height
. Defaults to width
. This property is parsed only when resizeImage
is true
. If set to width
, the maxImageWidth
property is first tested and if image size is greater than this, then the image is resized to maxImageWidth
. The image height
is resized and adjusted in the same ratio as width
. In case, the image width is already less than maxImageWidth
then the maxImageHeight
property is used to resize and width is adjusted in same ratio.
This will behave conversely, when resizePreference
is set to height
- the maxImageHeight
will be first tested against image height and then the rest of steps will be similarly parsed with preference given to height
instead of width
as before. For example:
// Example for resizePreference = 'width'// - will resize image width to 200 px if image width is > 200 px// - will resize image height to 200 px if image width is < 200 px and// image height is > 200 px// if none of the above image will be returned as is$('#file-input').fileinput({ resizeImage: true, maxImageWidth: 200, maxImageHeight: 200, resizePreference: 'width'});

.
maxFileCount
int the maximum number of files allowed for each multiple upload. If set to 0
, it means number of files allowed is unlimited. Defaults to 0

Event Manipulation
With release v4.1.8, you can return data for most of the events and use it for advanced processing. This functionality is not applicable for the following events.
fileclear
filecleared
filereset
fileerror
fileuploaderror
filebatchuploaderror
filedeleteerror
filefoldererror
filecustomerror
fileuploaded
filebatchuploadcomplete
filebatchuploadsuccess
For all the events other than ones mentioned above, you can set a custom validation error which will be triggered just before upload is initiated.
This will enable you to add your additional custom validations to enhance the fileinput to be used for innumerous scenarios. It will allow an ability to return an associative object with any of the fileinput events (except the events above) e.g. change
, fileselect
, filepreupload
, filebatchpreupload
etc.
The object can return the following keys:
message
: string, the validation error message to be displayed before upload. If this is set the plugin will automatically abort the upload whenever called and display this as an error message. You can use this property for example to read a file and perform your own custom validation.data
: object, an optional associative array of additional data at abort, that you can pass for usage later.
Example
- STEP 1: You can trigger an error to abort from
filepreupload
;
The above abort will be triggered at time of upload for (ajax uploads) OR at form submission (for non-ajax uploads).
- STEP 2: Reading additional data at abort by trapping the
filecustomerror
event
;
As mentioned before, the above functionality of raising a filecustomerror
is not supported in the following events:
fileclear
filecleared
filereset
fileerror
fileuploaderror
filebatchuploaderror
filedeleteerror
filecustomerror
fileuploaded
filebatchuploadcomplete
filebatchuploadsuccess
