How to upload or
attach a text file to a SharePoint 2013 list item using REST (text file only)
1-
Create an html page that should look like below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head lang="en">
<script
src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.0.js"></script>
<script src="uploadFile.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="inputFile" type="file" />
<input id="upload" type="button"
value="Upload" onClick="uploadFile()" />
</body>
</html>
|
2-
Create a
javascript file uploadFile.js that should contain the script below, and update
the serverUrl, listName and itemId with the right values:
function uploadFile() {
var fileInput = $('#inputFile');
var fullPath= fileInput.val().split('\\');
var fileName = fullPath[fullPath.length - 1];
var fileData = getFileData(fileInput.val());
var serverUrl = "http://myserver-url";
var listName = "mylist-name";
var itemId = "1";
var digest = $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val();
var restUrl = serverUrl +
"/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('"
+ listName +
"')/items("
+ itemId +
")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')";
$.ajax({
url:
restUrl,
type:
"POST",
data:
fileData,
headers:
{"X-RequestDigest": digest}
});
function getFileData(filePath) {
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var textStream = fso.OpenTextFile(filePath); var fileData = textStream.ReadAll(); return fileData; }
}
