Issue
I've created a file upload system where the user can either upload an image or video. I then display a preview for the currently uploaded file.
Result desired: I want to display just **ONE **preview depending on the file type (image || video).
Question: How can I display just ONE preview depending on the file type?
Attempt: I've tried using '.split' && '.pop' to extract just the file extension but to no avail.

Solution
The File object exposes a type
property.
So you could choose how to display a preview based on the type:
document.querySelector('[type=file]').addEventListener('change', async (event) => {
// get the first file
const [file] = event.target.files;
// get the preview
const dataUrl = await preview(file);
// choose what dom element type to create based on file.type
// (i'm not sure you'd actually want to do precisely this.
// just illustrating that you can do whatever you want with the type.)
const previewType = file.type.startsWith('image') ? 'img' : 'video';
// create the DOM element
const previewElem = document.createElement(previewType);
// set src to the preview
previewElem.src = dataUrl;
// add it to the document
document.body.appendChild(previewElem);
})
// create a dataURL preview from the given file
async function preview(file) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const reader = new FileReader();
reader.addEventListener("load", () => {
resolve(reader.result);
});
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
})
}
<input type="file" />
