  1. JavaScript provides the FileReader API to read the contents of files selected by users through an <input> element. This is commonly used for text, images, or binary data.

    Example: Reading a Text File

    // HTML: <input type="file" id="fileInput">

    document.getElementById('fileInput').addEventListener('change', function () {
    const file = this.files[0]; // Get the selected file
    const reader = new FileReader();

    reader.onload = function () {
    console.log(reader.result); // Logs the file content
    };

    reader.onerror = function () {
    console.error('Error reading file:', reader.error);
    };

    reader.readAsText(file); // Reads the file as plain text
    });
    Gekopieerd.

    Explanation:

    • this.files[0]: Accesses the first selected file.

    • FileReader.readAsText(): Reads the file as a text string.

    • reader.onload: Executes when the file is successfully read.

    • reader.onerror: Handles errors during reading.
