I have implemented a multiple file select with instant preview and upload after removing unwanted files from preview via ajax.
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('form').submit(function(ev){
$('.overlay').show();
$(window).scrollTop(0);
return upload_images_selected(ev, ev.target);
})
})
function add_new_file_uploader(addBtn) {
var currentRow = $(addBtn).parent().parent();
var newRow = $(currentRow).clone();
$(newRow).find('.previewImage, .imagePreviewTable').hide();
$(newRow).find('.removeButton').show();
$(newRow).find('table.imagePreviewTable').find('tr').remove();
$(newRow).find('input.multipleImageFileInput').val('');
$(addBtn).parent().parent().parent().append(newRow);
}
function remove_file_uploader(removeBtn) {
$(removeBtn).parent().parent().remove();
}
function show_image_preview(file_selector) {
//files selected using current file selector
var files = file_selector.files;
//Container of image previews
var imageContainer = $(file_selector).next('table.imagePreviewTable');
//Number of images selected
var number_of_images = files.length;
//Build image preview row
var imagePreviewRow = $('
' +'
' +'
');//Add image preview row
$(imageContainer).html(imagePreviewRow);
if (number_of_images > 1) {
for (var i =1; i
/**
*Generate class name of the respective image container appending index of selected images,
*sothat we can match images selected and the one which is previewed
*/
var newImagePreviewRow = $(imagePreviewRow).clone().removeClass('imagePreviewRow_0').addClass('imagePreviewRow_'+i);
$(newImagePreviewRow).find('input[type="button"]').attr('imageIndex', i);
$(imageContainer).append(newImagePreviewRow);
}
}
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
var file = files[i];
/**
* Allow only images
*/
var imageType = /image.*/;
if (!file.type.match(imageType)) {
continue;
}
/**
* Create an image dom object dynamically
*/
var img = document.createElement("img");
/**
* Get preview area of the image
*/
var preview = $(imageContainer).find('tr.imagePreviewRow_'+i).find('td:first');
/**
* Append preview of selected image to the corresponding container
*/
preview.append(img);
/**
* Set style of appended preview(Can be done via css also)
*/
preview.find('img').addClass('previewImage').css({'max-width': '500px', 'max-height': '500px'});
/**
* Initialize file reader
*/
var reader = new FileReader();
/**
* Onload event of file reader assign target image to the preview
*/
reader.onload = (function(aImg) { return function(e) { aImg.src = e.target.result; }; })(img);
/**
* Initiate read
*/
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}
/**
* Show preview
*/
$(imageContainer).show();
}
function remove_selected_image(close_button)
{
/**
* Remove this image from preview
*/
var imageIndex = $(close_button).attr('imageindex');
$(close_button).parents('.imagePreviewRow_' + imageIndex).remove();
}
function upload_images_selected(event, formObj)
{
event.preventDefault();
//Get number of images
var imageCount = $('.previewImage').length;
//Get all multi select inputs
var fileInputs = document.querySelectorAll('.multipleImageFileInput');
//Url where the image is to be uploaded
var url= "/upload-directory/";
//Get number of inputs
var number_of_inputs = $(fileInputs).length;
var inputCount = 0;
//Iterate through each file selector input
$(fileInputs).each(function(index, input){

// Create a new FormData object.
var formData = new FormData();
//Extra parameters can be added to the form data object

}
// Add the file to the request.
formData.append('image_uploader_multiple[' +(inputCount++)+ ']', file, file.name);
}
}
// Set up the request.
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.onload = function () {
if (xhr.status === 200) {
var jsonResponse = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
if (jsonResponse.status == 1) {
$(jsonResponse.file_info).each(function(){
//Iterate through response and find data corresponding to each file uploaded
var uploaded_file_name = this.original;
