drag and drop image upload javascript code example

Example 1: add drag drop to input type file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div id="dropContainer" style="border:1px solid black;height:100px;">
   Drop Here
</div>
  Should update here:
  <input type="file" id="fileInput" />
  
  
<script>
dropContainer.ondragover = dropContainer.ondragenter = function(evt) {
  evt.preventDefault();
};

dropContainer.ondrop = function(evt) {
  // pretty simple -- but not for IE :(
  fileInput.files = evt.dataTransfer.files;

  // If you want to use some of the dropped files
  const dT = new DataTransfer();
  dT.items.add(evt.dataTransfer.files[0]);
  dT.items.add(evt.dataTransfer.files[3]);
  fileInput.files = dT.files;

  evt.preventDefault();
};
</script>

</body>
</html>

Example 2: drag drop image js

;['dragenter', 'dragover', 'dragleave', 'drop'].forEach(eventName => {
  dropArea.addEventListener(eventName, preventDefaults, false)
})

  e.preventDefault()
  e.stopPropagation()
