file type filtering about bs-custom-file-input HOT 6 CLOSED

You can do this through normal input settings adding the accept attribute to the input with type set to file.

accept=".doc,.docx,application/msword,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"

and for a full example

<div class="custom-file">
	<input
		type="file"
		class="custom-file-input"
		id="inputGroupFile04"
		accept=".doc,.docx,application/msword,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"
		multiple
		aria-describedby="inputGroupFileAddon04">
	<label class="custom-file-label" for="inputGroupFile04">Choose file</label>
</div>

There would be two layers that you would need to check. First being your front-end, which you can do with the provided example or by writing some code that can check the file types and prevent uploading.

The other layer would be your server, after receiving the file that is acceptable. otherwise you could return some kind of server response to your front-end.

Hi @Leenshady, it's not the purpose of this plugin and as @jessycormier said it's not a good practice to do that only on the front side.
BTW thanks for using my plugin and thanks @jessycormier for answering 👍

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry for my misrepresentation. I mean when I submit a file of the wrong type, there will be friendly prompts.

I'm not familiar with the front end. If my requirement are wrong, please don't hit me, hahahaha
