To get a file’s name when the user selects a file via a file input with JavaScript, we use the value property.
For instance, we write
document.getElementById("fileInput").onchange = (e) => {
console.log(e.target.value);
};
to select the file input with getElementById.
And we set its onchange property to a function that gets trhe selected file’s name with e.target.value.
onchange is called when file selection changes.
