Get the file details(Single and Multiple) that are selected using a File Browse Item using JavaScript in Oracle APEX

-

 In this blog I will be explaining, how to get the details of a file(s), selected using a File Browse Item, using JavaScript in Oracle APEX.

For Single File:

1) Create a Region.

2) Create an Item (Type: File Browse) in the Region. (In this example: P1_FILE_BROWSE).

3) Create 3 More items in the page to store the File Name, File Size and File Type.             

    (In this example: P1_FILE_NAME, P1_FILE_SIZE, P1_FILE_TYPE) 

4) Create an On Change Dynamic Action on the P1_FILE_BROWSE item.

5) Create a True Action (Type: Execute JavaScript Code) and paste the below code.

var $filebrowseItem = $("#P1_FILE_BROWSE");

var filebrowseItemLength = $filebrowseItem[0].files.length;

var fileArray = $filebrowseItem[0].files;

if (filebrowseItemLength > 0) {

    for (var i = 0; i < filebrowseItemLength; i++) {
        var fileName = fileArray[i].name;
        var fileSize = fileArray[i].size;
        var fileType = fileArray[i].type;
        
        apex.item( "P1_FILE_NAME" ).setValue( fileName );
        apex.item( "P1_FILE_SIZE" ).setValue( fileSize  + " bytes" );
        apex.item( "P1_FILE_TYPE" ).setValue( fileType );
    }
}
Note: Replace the items P1_FILE_BROWSE, P1_FILE_NAME, P1_FILE_SIZE, P1_FILE_TYPE with the item names in your page.

For Multiple Files:

1) Create a Region (Type: Static Content).

2) Create an Item (Type: File Browse) in the Region. (In this example: P1_FILE_BROWSE_MULTIPLE).

3) Paste the below code in the Source of the Static Content region. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
  width: 100%;
}

td, th {
  border: 1px solid #dddddd;
  text-align: left;
  padding: 8px;
}

tr:first-child {
  background-color: #e8e8e8;
}

</style>
</head>
<body>
<table class="uploaded-files-tbl">
  <tr>
    <th>File Name</th>
    <th>File Size</th>
    <th>File Type</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td colspan="3"> No Data Found </td> 
  </td>    
</table>
</body>
</html>
Info: Using the above code we are creating a HTML Table.

4) Create an On Change Dynamic Action on the P1_FILE_BROWSE_MULTIPLE item.

5) Create a True Action (Type: Execute JavaScript Code) and paste the below code.
//To remove the existing rows
$(".uploaded-files-tbl").find("tr:gt(0)").remove();

var $filebrowseItem = $("#P36_FILE_BROWSE_MULTIPLE");

var filebrowseItemLength = $filebrowseItem[0].files.length;

var fileArray = $filebrowseItem[0].files;

if (filebrowseItemLength > 0) {
    for (var i = 0; i < filebrowseItemLength; i++) { 
    
        //to append the file(s) data to the table
        $('.uploaded-files-tbl tr:last').after('<tr><td>'+ fileArray[i].name +'</td><td>'+ fileArray[i].size +'</td><td>'+ fileArray[i].type +'</td></tr>');            
    }    
}
