I sometimes need this.
Pasting an image onto page should work?
Or choose a file. Dragging and dropping onto the file input thing appears to work:
const input = document.querySelector("#file");
const lastli = document.querySelector("#lastli");
const addLink = (text, href) => {
const li = document.createElement("li");
const a = li.appendChild(document.createElement("a"));
a.innerText = text;
a.href = href;
lastli.before(li);
};
document.onpaste = e => {
for (const item of e.clipboardData.items) {
if (item.kind === 'file') {
const blob = item.getAsFile();
const fr = new FileReader();
fr.onload = ev => addLink(item.type, ev.target.result);
fr.readAsDataURL(blob);
}
}
};
input.onchange = () => {
for (const file of input.files) {
const fr = new FileReader();
fr.onload = () => addLink(file.name, fr.result);
fr.readAsDataURL(file);
}
};
