FileReader is an object that allows one to read a file.
The FileReader
object is a way to read files from the devices file system. Files can be read as text or as a base64 data encoded string. Users register their own event listners to receive the loadstart, progress, load, loadend, error and abort events.
Parameters:
function win(file) { var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onloadend = function(evt) { console.log("read success"); console.log(evt.target.result); }; reader.readAsDataURL(file); }; var fail = function(evt) { console.log(error.code); }; entry.file(win, fail);
Parameters:
function win(file) { var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onloadend = function(evt) { console.log("read success"); console.log(evt.target.result); }; reader.readAsText(file); }; var fail = function(evt) { console.log(error.code); }; entry.file(win, fail);
function win(file) { var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onloadend = function(evt) { console.log("read success"); console.log(evt.target.result); }; reader.readAsText(file); reader.abort(); }; function fail(error) { console.log(error.code); } entry.file(win, fail);
