This is how you trigger a `change` event on `<input type="file">` with JavaScript — useful for testing!

// vanilla JS
var event = document.createEvent("UIEvents");
event.initUIEvent("change", true, true);
document.querySelector('input[type=file]').dispatchEvent(event);
// jQuery
$('input[type=file]').trigger('change');
