I'm using the following approach in order to preview images before uploading them:
$("#file").change(function() {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(this.files[0]);
var fileName = this.files[0].name;
var fileType = this.files[0].type;
alert(fileType)
reader.onloadend = function() {
var base64Image = btoa(String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint8Array(this.result)));
// I show the image now and convert the data to base 64
}
}
I have noticed that when the image is large, the method fails and I cannot preview the image.
I am unsure if the problem is due to base64 conversion or the FileReader
.
Is there any setting to increase the max size, or is there any work around?
Here is the error message thrown in the console :
Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
at FileReader.reader.onloadend
