Bootstrap & jQuery File Dialog

Dependencies

Uses only jQuery and Bootstrap. Tested on jQuery 1.9.0 and Bootstrap 3.2.0.

Install

Install via bower:

$ bower install --save bootstrap-file-dialog

Usage

Basic usage example can be found in example.html.

To create (and open) a file dialog, run

var fd = $.FileDialog(options);

Supported options:

• accept: an array of accepted files type extensions as strings ex. ['.pdf', '.csv', '.docx'].
• dropheight: the height of drop zone in pixels. Number. Default: 400.
• multiple: whether it is possible to choose multiple files or not. Boolean. Default: true.
• readAs: file reading mode. String. Supported values: BinaryString, Text, DataURL, ArrayBuffer (case sensitive). Default: DataURL.

Auxiliary string options for internationalization:

• title: the dialog title. Default: Load file(s).
• ok_button: caption of the OK button. Default: OK.
• cancel_button: caption of the Cancel button. Default: Close.
• drag_message: the central text of drop zone. Default: Drop files here.
• error_message: the message displayed on files that could not be loaded. Default: An error occured while loading file.
• remove_message: popup hint to remove file button. Default: Remove file.

To handle files choice when done, bind an event handler:

fd.on('files.bs.filedialog', function(ev) {
    var files_list = ev.files;
    // ...
});

Every item in files_list is a File object, extended with property content containing loaded file contents:

$("img#my_img").attr('url', files_list[0].content);

To handle dialog cancelling, bind one more event handler:

fd.on('cancel.bs.filedialog', function(ev) {
    // ...
});
