How to resolve the C:\fakepath?

Question

This is my upload button.

Answer 1

Why don't you just use the target.files?

(I'm using React JS on this example)

const onChange = (event) => {
  const value = event.target.value;

  // this will return C:\fakepath\somefile.ext
  console.log(value);

  const files = event.target.files;

  //this will return an ARRAY of File object
  console.log(files);
}

return (
 
)

The File object I'm talking above looks like this:

{
  fullName: "C:\Users\myname\Downloads\somefile.ext"
  lastModified: 1593086858659
  lastModifiedDate: (the date)
  name: "somefile.ext"
  size: 10235546
  type: ""
  webkitRelativePath: ""
}

So then you can just get the fullName if you wanna get the path.
