How to change name of file in javascript from input=File

Question

I need to change the filename (not the file, just the metadata of the name) when uploading to a sharepoint site.

I figured that it would be easy enough to change the htm

Answer 1

A simpler and more memory efficient approach - change the file's 'name' property to writeable:

Object.defineProperty(fileToAmend, 'name', {
  writable: true,
  value: updatedFileName
});

Where fileToAmend is the File and updatedFileName is the new filename.

Method from Cannot assign to read only property 'name' of object '[object Object]'
