ParseFile

The file's name. This will be prefixed by a unique value once the file has finished saving. The file name must begin with an alphanumeric character, and consist of alphanumeric characters, periods, spaces, underscores, or dashes.

The data for the file, as either: 1. an Array of byte value Numbers, or 2. an Object like { base64: "..." } with a base64-encoded String. 3. an Object like { uri: "..." } with a uri String. 4. a File object selected with a file upload control. (3) only works in Firefox 3.6+, Safari 6.0.2+, Chrome 7+, and IE 10+. For example:

var fileUploadControl = $("#profilePhotoFileUpload")[0];
if (fileUploadControl.files.length > 0) {
  var file = fileUploadControl.files[0];
  var name = "photo.jpg";
  var parseFile = new Parse.File(name, file);
  parseFile.save().then(function() {
    // The file has been saved to Parse.
  }, function(error) {
    // The file either could not be read, or could not be saved to Parse.
  });
}

Optional Content-Type header to use for the file. If this is omitted, the content type will be inferred from the name's extension.
