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>
