What is file-selector?

The file-selector npm package is a utility library for handling file selections in web applications. It provides functions to convert file selections into a standardized format for easier manipulation, including functions to handle selections from both file inputs and drag-and-drop operations.

What are file-selector's main functionalities?

Converting FileList to Array

This feature allows you to convert a FileList object, which is obtained from a file input element, into an array of files for easier iteration and manipulation.

import { fromFileList } from 'file-selector';

const inputElement = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]');
inputElement.addEventListener('change', async (event) => {
  const filesArray = await fromFileList(event.target.files);
  // Now you have an array of files
});

Handling Drag-and-Drop Files

This feature provides a way to handle files dropped into a dropzone on a webpage, converting the DataTransferItem list from the event into an array of files.

import { fromEvent } from 'file-selector';

const dropzone = document.getElementById('dropzone');
dropzone.addEventListener('drop', async (event) => {
  event.preventDefault();
  const items = await fromEvent(event);
  // Now you have an array of files from the drop event
});
