# FileChooser class

File choosers let you react to the page requesting for a file.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export declare class FileChooser 
```

## Remarks

`FileChooser` objects are returned via the `page.waitForFileChooser` method.

The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `FileChooser` class.

## Example

An example of using `FileChooser`:

```ts
const [fileChooser] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForFileChooser(),
  page.click('#upload-file-button'), // some button that triggers file selection
]);
await fileChooser.accept(['/tmp/myfile.pdf']);
```
\*\*NOTE\*\* In browsers, only one file chooser can be opened at a time. All file choosers must be accepted or canceled. Not doing so will prevent subsequent file choosers from appearing.
