bootstrap-fileinput
====================

An enhanced HTML 5 file input for Bootstrap 3.x with file preview for images and text, multiple selection, and more. This plugin is inspired by [this blog article](http://www.abeautifulsite.net/blog/2013/08/whipping-file-inputs-into-shape-with-bootstrap-3/) and [Jasny's File Input plugin](http://jasny.github.io/bootstrap/javascript/#fileinput). The plugin enhances these concepts and simplifies the widget initialization with simple HTML markup on a file input. It also offers support for multiple file preview and previewing both images and text types.

> NOTE: The latest version of the plugin v1.9.0 has been released. Refer the [CHANGE LOG](https://github.com/kartik-v/bootstrap-fileinput/blob/master/CHANGE.md) for details.

## Features  

1. 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.
2. 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 images and text file types). Other file types will be displayed as normal thumbnails.
3. The plugin automatically converts an input with `type = file` to an advanced file picker input if you set its `class = file`. All options to the input can be passed as HTML5 `data` attributes.
4. 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.
5. Offers predefined templates and CSS classes which can be changed to style your file-input display as per your needs.
6. 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`](https://github.com/kartik-v/bootstrap-fileinput/blob/master/README.md#initialpreview) 
   and [`initialCaption`](https://github.com/kartik-v/bootstrap-fileinput/blob/master/README.md#initialcaption) properties in the plugin options
   section for configuring this.
7. Option to show/hide any or all of the following:
   - caption section
   - preview section
   - upload button
   - remove button
8. 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.
9. 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 &hellip;).
10. Customise the messages for preview, progress, and files selected.
11. Upload action defaults to form submit. Supports an upload route/server action parameter for custom ajax based upload.
12. Triggers JQuery events for advanced development. Events currently available are `filereset` and `fileclear`.
13. Disabled and readonly file input support.
14. Size of the entire plugin is about 5KB if gzipped. The minified assets are less than 12KB (about 10KB for the minified JS and 2KB for the minified CSS). 

## Demo

View the [plugin documentation](http://plugins.krajee.com/file-input) and [plugin demos](http://plugins.krajee.com/file-input/demo) at Krajee JQuery plugins. 

## Pre-requisites  

1. [Bootstrap 3.x](http://getbootstrap.com/)
2. Latest [JQuery](http://jquery.com/)
3. Most modern browsers supporting HTML5 file 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.

## Restrictions
The plugin supports only file input and preview at client level. It does not actually process the upload of the files to the server.

## 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-master"

or add:

    "kartik-v/bootstrap-fileinput": "dev-master"

to your composer.json file

### Manual Install

You can also manually install the plugin easily to your project. Just download the source [ZIP](https://github.com/kartik-v/bootstrap-fileinput/zipball/master) or [TAR ball](https://github.com/kartik-v/bootstrap-fileinput/tarball/master) and extract the plugin assets (css and js folders) into your project.

## Usage

Step 1: Load the following assets in your header. 

```html
<link href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="path/to/css/fileinput.min.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/js/fileinput.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
```

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`.

Step 2: Initialize the plugin on your page. For example,

```js
// initialize with defaults
$("#input-id").fileinput();

// with plugin options
$("#input-id").fileinput({'showUpload':false, 'previewFileType':'any'});
```

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.

```html
<input id="input-id" type="file" class="file" data-preview-file-type="text" >
```

_boolean_ whether to display the file preview. Defaults to `true`.

#### showRemove
_boolean_ whether to display the file remove/clear button. Defaults to `true`.

#### captionClass
_string_ any additional CSS class to append to the caption container.

#### previewClass
_string_ any additional CSS class to append to the preview container.

#### mainClass
_string_ any additional CSS class to append to the main plugin container.

#### mainTemplate
_string_ the template used to render the widget. The following template variables will be parsed:

- `{class}`: the CSS class as set in the `mainClass` property.
- `{preview}`: the content parsed by the `previewTemplate` and will be displayed only if `showPreview` is `true`.
- `{caption}`: the content parsed by the `captionTemplate` and will be displayed only if `showCaption` is `true`.
- `{remove}`: the file remove/clear button and will be displayed only if `showRemove` is `true`.
- `{upload}`: the file upload button and will be displayed only if `showUpload` is `true`.
- `{browse}`: the main file browse button to select your files for input.

The `mainTemplate` if not passed, will be automatically set based on `showCaption` settings.

- If `showCaption` is set to `true`, the `mainTemplate` will default to:
```html
{preview}
<div class="input-group {class}">
   {caption}
   <div class="input-group-btn">
       {remove}
       {upload}
       {browse}
   </div>
</div>
```

- If `showCaption` is set to `false`, the `mainTemplate` will default to:
```html
{preview}\n{remove}\n{upload}\n{browse}\n
```

#### 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 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:

```js
// for image files
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'>",
],

// for text files
initialPreview: "<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>"
```

#### initialCaption

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.
