Im Stuck with the problem that I can't get the "UploadMultiple" to work. Whenever I try to Drop more than one File at once (drag and dropp 3 selected PDF files for example) I don't recieve any files in the c# controller.
The View seems to work, as there are no errors when dropping the Files. In the controller however, I don't recieve any files (files.Count = 0).
these are my code snippets:
View HTML:
<div class="col-md-8">
<form id="fileUploadForm" class="text-center dropzone needsclick dz-clickable" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" style="min-height: 500px;">
</form>
</div>
JS:
Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;
$("#fileUploadForm").dropzone({
url: "/UploadView",
paramName: "files",
uploadMultiple: true,
parallelUploads: 1,
maxFilesize: 50,
init: function () {
this.on('success', function (file) {
var element = document.getElementById("submitbutton");
element.style.display = "inline";
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
var lowercaseName = file.name.toLowerCase()
if (!lowercaseName.includes(".pdf") && args[1] === "success") {
$("#directUploadDocs").append("<p>" + file.name + "</p><br />");
} else {
switch (args[1]) {
case "HashFailed":
$("#errorDocs").append("<div><h4>CUSTOM_TEXT</h4><p>" + file.name + "</p></div>");
break;
case "UnknownFile":
$("#errorDocs").append("<div><h4>CUSTOM_TEXT</h4><p>" + file.name + "</p></div>");
break;
case "success":
console.log("success");
break;
default:
console.log("sorry an error happened");
}
}
});
},
});
C# Controller:
public async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync(ICollection<IFormFile> files)
{
var directoryPath = Path.Combine(_appSettings.UploadFolder, user.SessionID);
Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryPath);
foreach (var file in files)
{
var uploadPath = Path.Combine(_appSettings.UploadFolder, user.SessionID, Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + Path.GetExtension(file.FileName));
if (file.Length > 0)
{
Do Something;
}
}
return Content("success");
}
I know that I wrote pretty custom code additional to the reccomended code from dropzone.js, but I hope its still possible to fix that Problem.
SOLVED! SOLUTION:
Bruce Adams Posted an answer that actually worked for me:
new C# controller:
public async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync()
{
var directoryPath = Path.Combine(_appSettings.UploadFolder, user.SessionID);
Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryPath);
foreach (var file in Request.Form.Files)
{
var uploadPath = Path.Combine(_appSettings.UploadFolder, user.SessionID, Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + Path.GetExtension(file.FileName));
if (file.Length > 0)
{
Do Something;
}
}
return Content("success");
}
