# FileChooser class

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

#### Signature:

```typescript
export declare class FileChooser
```

## Remarks

`FileChooser` instances are returned via the [Page.waitForFileChooser()](./puppeteer.page.waitforfilechooser.md) method.

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.

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

```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']);
```

Accept the file chooser request with the given file paths.

**Remarks:**

This will not validate whether the file paths exists. Also, if a path is relative, then it is resolved against the [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd). For locals script connecting to remote chrome environments, paths must be absolute.
