How to limit overall file size?

I found a setting that set limit for a single file

validation: {
    sizeLimit: 51200 // 50 kB = 50 * 1024 bytes
}

How to implement validation as follows: any number can be uploaded to server but grand total must be less than 5mb ?

Solution

  • The best way to do this is to make use of the onValidate callback. There, you can keep a running total of all submitted file sizes. Once you reach your max, you can start rejecting files. For example:

    var totalAllowedSize = 5000000,
    totalSizeSoFar = 0;

callbacks: {
    onValidate: function(data) {
        if (totalSizeSoFar + data.size > totalAllowedSize) {
            return false;
        }
        totalSizeSoFar += data.size;
    }
}
