How to display file name for custom styled input file using jquery?

by

You have to bind and trigger the change event on the [type=file] element and read the files name as: 

$('#file-upload').change(function() {
  var i = $(this).prev('label').clone();
  var file = $('#file-upload')[0].files[0].name;
  $(this).prev('label').text(file);
});
.custom-file-upload {
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 6px 12px;
  cursor: pointer;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
  <label for="file-upload" class="custom-file-upload">
    <i class="fa fa-cloud-upload"></i> Upload Image
  </label>
  <input id="file-upload" name="upload_cont_img" type="file" style="display:none;">
</form>
