Dropzone Js, find out how many files are currently inside the dropzone

Question

Im using the dropzone js (http://www.dropzonejs.com/) to upload files but I need to know how many files are currently inside the Dropzone, the user might have deleted some but I need to know if there is at least 1 file before I submit the whole form that the user is filling.

If i use the myDropzone.length it will still count the removed files from the dropzone so if the user adds 2 files and then removes one of them the .length would be = 2 and in that case I would need to know the real length which would be 1 in this particular case

Answer 1

Dropzone provide multiple function to get only accepted, rejected, queued or uploading files.

// To access only accepted files count (answer of question)
myDropzone.getAcceptedFiles().length


// To access all files count
myDropzone.files.length
// To access all rejected files count
myDropzone.getRejectedFiles().length
// To access all queued files count
myDropzone.getQueuedFiles().length
// To access all uploading files count
myDropzone.getUploadingFiles().length

I am trying to get a list of the files that are in the Dropzone. How do I access the list of files in the Dropzone? – Sheathbill

@Sheathbill Use myDropzone.files. Remove .lenght of upper example and you can get file list of every sections – Density

"To access all files in the dropzone, use myDropzone.files."

The problem is when the user decides to remove one of the files, then the .length remains the same counting the removed files, so I need to know how many files are there without the removed ones – Lucic
