How to Upload Files in JavaScript?

Let’s first see how you can upload files in JavaScript. The most common file types users need to upload are images and PDF documents. 

First, you must add functionality to select the files from your desired location. 

There are a few ways you can upload a file in JavaScript. If you use pure JavaScript, you can add the following HTML5 file selector and an upload button on your web page:

“upload” type=“file” name=“upload” />
<button id=“btnUpload” onclick=“fileUpload()”> Upload Filebutton>
Then you need to write the JavaScript function that triggers the file upload.
<script>
async function fileUpload() {
    let data= new FormData();          
    data.append(“file”, upload.files[0]);
    await fetch(‘/upload.php, {
      method: “POST”,
      body: data
    });   
}

Finally, you must write the server-side code to handle the file upload. If you want to learn how to upload a CSV file in React JS, read this article.
