The FileReader object lets web applications asynchronously read the contents of files (or raw data buffers) stored on the user's computer, using File or Blob objects to specify the file or data to read.

Variables

read onlyerror:DOMError

A DOMError representing the error that occurred while reading the file.

onabort:Function

A handler for the abort event. This event is triggered each time the reading operation is aborted.

onerror:Function

A handler for the error event. This event is triggered each time the reading operation encounter an error.

onload:Function

A handler for the load event. This event is triggered each time the reading operation is successfully completed.

onloadend:Function

A handler for the loadend event. This event is triggered each time the reading operation is completed (either in success or failure).

onloadstart:Function

A handler for the loadstart event. This event is triggered each time the reading is starting.

onprogress:Function

A handler for the progress event. This event is triggered while reading a Blob content.

read onlyreadyState:Int

A number indicating the state of the FileReader. This is one of the following:

EMPTY 0 No data has been loaded yet.
LOADING 1 Data is currently being loaded.
DONE 2 The entire read request has been completed.
