'how to restrict double extension while uploading file to server

fileName = inputParam.file_name.split('.')[0].toLowerCase().replace(/ /g, '') + '' +       Date.now() + "." + (fileData.file.name.split('.')[1] || inputParam.file_name.split('.')[1])
   
filePath = filePath + fileName

This is the condition I am using.

For example it should only restrict a.jpeg.jpg or a.php.jpeg. and allow extension like a.a.jpeg or bird.tree.jpeg

var _validFilejpeg = [".jpeg", ".jpg", ".bmp", ".png",".pdf", ".txt"];
var invalid = [".php",".php5", ".pht", ".phtml", ".shtml", ".asa", ".cer", ".asax", ".swf",".xap"];
    function validateForSize(oInput, minSize, maxSizejpeg) {
        //if there is a need of specifying any other type, just add that particular type in var  _validFilejpeg

You can simply do this

if (fileName.split('.').length > 2) {
    throw new Error('Double extension file detected')
}
