Is there some elegant way to display the uploaded image in input type=file without server requests and third party plugins?

Question

JavaScript

I read about FileReader, but from the examples I somehow did not catch how to work with it. Does anyone have any ready made solutions? Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

More elegant than ever

Answer 2

If the image does not need to be processed, URL.createObjectURL is simpler than FileReader ( example ).
Plus - less memory consumption.
The downside is slightly less browser support.
