How to check file is an image in javascript using filename

• Check the file extension in javascript using filename and return true if the file is an image

  <script>
      function getFileExtension(fileName){
          var  fileExtension;
          fileExtension = fileName.replace(/^.*\./, '');
          return fileExtension;
      }
      function isIMage(fileName){
          var fileExt = getFileExtension(fileName);
          var imagesExtension = ["png", "jpg", "jpeg"];
          if(imagesExtension.indexOf(fileExt) !== -1){
              return true;
          } else{
              return false;
          }
      }
      console.log(isIMage('filename.jpg'));
  </script>
  

  You have to pass the filename to function. This function first checks the file extension and after that it returns true and false on the basis of the provided file extension array.
