FileReader extension type

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.

File objects may be obtained from a FileList object returned as a result of a user selecting files using the input element, or from a drag and drop operation's DataTransfer object.

FileReader can only access the contents of files that the user has explicitly selected, either using an HTML <input type="file"> element or by drag and drop. It cannot be used to read a file by pathname from the user's file system. To read files on the client's file system by pathname, use the File System Access API. To read server-side files, use fetch, with CORS permission if reading cross-domain.

Methods

abort() → void: The abort method of the FileReader interface aborts the read operation. Upon return, the FileReader.readyState will be DONE.
add(JSAny? any) → JSAny: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension
The result of this + any in JavaScript.
addEventListener(String type, EventListener? callback, [JSAny options]) → void: The addEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface sets up a function that will be called whenever the specified event is delivered to the target.
inherited
and(JSAny? any) → JSAny?: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension
The result of this && any in JavaScript.
callMethod<R extends JSAny?>(JSAny method, [JSAny? arg1, JSAny? arg2, JSAny? arg3, JSAny? arg4]) → R: Available on JSObject, provided by the JSObjectUnsafeUtilExtension extension
Calls method on this JSObject with up to four arguments.
callMethodVarArgs<R extends JSAny?>(JSAny method, [List<JSAny?>? arguments]) → R: Available on JSObject, provided by the JSObjectUnsafeUtilExtension extension
Calls method on this JSObject with a variable number of arguments.
dartify() → Object?: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyUtilityExtension extension
Converts a JavaScript value to the Dart equivalent if possible.
delete(JSAny property) → JSBoolean: Available on JSObject, provided by the JSObjectUnsafeUtilExtension extension
Deletes the property with key property from this JSObject.
dispatchEvent(Event event) → bool: The dispatchEvent() method of the EventTarget sends an Event to the object, (synchronously) invoking the affected event listeners in the appropriate order. The normal event processing rules (including the capturing and optional bubbling phase) also apply to events dispatched manually with dispatchEvent().
inherited
divide(JSAny? any) → JSAny: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension
The result of this / any in JavaScript.
equals(JSAny? any) → JSBoolean: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension
The result of this == any in JavaScript.
exponentiate(JSAny? any) → JSAny: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension
The result of this ** any in JavaScript.
getProperty<R extends JSAny?>(JSAny property) → R: Available on JSObject, provided by the JSObjectUnsafeUtilExtension extension
The value of the property key property of this JSObject.
greaterThan(JSAny? any) → JSBoolean: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension
The result of this > any in JavaScript.
greaterThanOrEqualTo(JSAny? any) → JSBoolean: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension
The result of this >= any in JavaScript.
has(String property) → bool: Available on JSObject, provided by the JSObjectUnsafeUtilExtension extension
Shorthand helper for hasProperty to check whether this JSObject contains the property key property, but takes and returns a Dart value.
hasProperty(JSAny property) → JSBoolean: Available on JSObject, provided by the JSObjectUnsafeUtilExtension extension
Whether or not this JSObject contains the property key property.
instanceof(JSFunction constructor) → bool: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyUtilityExtension extension
Whether this JSAny? is an instanceof constructor.
instanceOfString(String constructorName) → bool: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyUtilityExtension extension
Whether this JSAny? is an instanceof the constructor that is defined by constructorName, which is looked up in the globalContext.
isA<T extends JSAny?>() → bool: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyUtilityExtension extension
Whether this JSAny? is an instance of the JavaScript type that is declared by T.
lessThan(JSAny? any) → JSBoolean: Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension
The result of this < any in JavaScript.

removeEventListener(String type, EventListener? callback, [JSAny options]) → void: The removeEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface removes an event listener previously registered with EventTarget.addEventListener from the target.
