document.querySelector(...) is null error
document.querySelector() behaves similarly to the jQuery.(document).ready() method. When the DOM is ready, the selector returns the object.
I would suggest you call all JS script bottom of the page.
To make sure that your DOM is ready you could add this to your JS file.
// my-script.js
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
// this function runs when the DOM is ready, i.e. when the document has been parsed
document.querySelector('input[type=file]')
.addEventListener('change', function(event){
...
}
});
This way you could call your js files from wherever you like. Please take a look to this superb answer to get further insight on these matters.
Also take a look at this other Google rule.
file.js
const heading1 = document.querySelector(".heading1");
console.log(heading1);
Solution 1
Use defer (best & recommended way):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<script src="./file.js" defer></script>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 class="heading1">Hello World 1</h1>
</body>
</html>
Solution 2
Place your JavaScript in bottom before closing body tag
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 class="heading1">Hello World 1</h1>
<script src="./file.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
