var fname = "the file name here.ext";
var re = /(\.jpg|\.jpeg|\.bmp|\.gif|\.png)$/i;
if (!re.exec(fname)) {
alert("File extension not supported!");
}In general, you can use JavaScript some() method for that.
function isImage(icon) {
const ext = ['.jpg', '.jpeg', '.bmp', '.gif', '.png', '.svg'];
return ext.some(el => icon.endsWith(el));
}
const fname = "filename.ext";
if (!isImage(fname)) {
console.log("File extension not supported!");
