Upload from local drive to local filesystem in HTML with Filesystem API
To upload from local drive to the local file system, we can use −
- Webkitdirectory attribute on <input type=”file”> − This allows the user to select a directory by the appropriate dialog box.
- Filesystem API is a sandboxed filesystem, which allows us to store files on client’s machine.
- File API allows us to read files. Files are accessible by <input type=”file”> element
All of the above is working fine in Google Chrome.
WebKit directory is a much better option among these. Use the following for directory −
webkitRequestFileSystem( window.TEMPORARY, 5 * 1024 * 1024, function(_fs) { fs = _fs; }, Err
Above, err and fs are −
var fs, err = function(err) { throw err; };
