JS - File Reader API get image file size and dimensions


Hi i'm using the following code to get the upload image using File Reader API:

<script type="text/javascript">
var loadImageFile = (function () {
    if (window.FileReader) {
        var oPreviewImg = null, oFReader = new window.FileReader(),
            rFilter = /^(?:image\/bmp|image\/cis\-cod|image\/gif|image\/ief|image\/jpeg|image\/jpeg|image\/jpeg|image\/pipeg|image\/png|image\/svg\+xml|image\/tiff|image\/x\-cmu\-raster|image\/x\-cmx|image\/x\-icon|image\/x\-portable\-anymap|image\/x\-portable\-bitmap|image\/x\-portable\-graymap|image\/x\-portable\-pixmap|image\/x\-rgb|image\/x\-xbitmap|image\/x\-xpixmap|image\/x\-xwindowdump)$/i;

        oFReader.onload = function (oFREvent) {

            /*get image*/
            var _img = oFREvent.target.result;
            console.log(oFREvent.target);
            /*add img to hidden input text*/
            localStorage.photo = _img;
            oPreviewImg.src = oFREvent.target.result;
        };

        return function () {
            var aFiles = document.getElementById("imageInput").files;
            if (aFiles.length === 0) { return; }
            if (!rFilter.test(aFiles[0].type)) { 
                notify("You must select a valid image file!",3400,false); return; 
            }
            oFReader.readAsDataURL(aFiles[0]);
        }

    }

})();
</script>

<form name="uploadForm">
<p><input id="imageInput" type="file" name="myPhoto" onchange="loadImageFile();" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send" /></p>
<input type="hidden" id="photo_1_hidden" name="photo_1"/>
</form>

it works great and it returns the base64 data of the image.

now i would like to get also the image file size and the image width and height.

Is it possible?

I tryed to log in console the file but i can't find what i'm searching for.

Any help appriciated thanks so much!


Solution

  • Something like this?

    var oPreviewImg = new Image();
    oPreviewImg.onload = function(){
      console.log(this.size);
      alert("'" + this.name + "' is " + this.width + " by " + this.height + " pixels in size.");
      return true;
    };
    
    oPreviewImg.onerror = function(){
      alert("'" + this.name + "' failed to load.");
      return true;
    }
    
    oPreviewImg.src = "//placeholdit.imgix.net/~text?txtsize=33&txt=350%C3%97150&w=350&h=150";
    
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open('HEAD', oPreviewImg.src, true);
    xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
        console.log('this', this);
      if ( xhr.readyState == 4 ) {
        if ( xhr.status == 200 ) {
          alert('Size in bytes: ' + xhr.getResponseHeader('Content-Length'));
        } else {
          alert('ERROR');
        }
      }
    };
    xhr.send(null);
    

    Live version

    Update Live version replaced with Fiddle, however, due to cross site scripting concerns, the size is no longer being retrieved effectively.
