I've came here from google and was surprised to see no working example.
const reader = new FileReader()
reader.onload = event => console.log(event.target.result) // desired file content
reader.onerror = error => reject(error)
reader.readAsText(file) // you could also read images and other binaries
See fully working example below.
document.getElementById('input-file')
.addEventListener('change', getFile)
function getFile(event) {
const input = event.target
if ('files' in input && input.files.length > 0) {
placeFileContent(
document.getElementById('content-target'),
input.files[0])
}
}
function placeFileContent(target, file) {
readFileContent(file).then(content => {
target.value = content
}).catch(error => console.log(error))
}
function readFileContent(file) {
const reader = new FileReader()
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
reader.onload = event => resolve(event.target.result)
reader.onerror = error => reject(error)
reader.readAsText(file)
})
}
label {
cursor: pointer;
}
textarea {
width: 400px;
height: 150px;
}
<div>
<label for="input-file">Specify a file:</label><br>
<input type="file" id="input-file">

<textarea id="content-target"></textarea>
