With the given file path, create a file object. new File(file_path) doesn't work. (WIN/MAC)
When tried creating a new file object using File constructor. There occurs an error.
new File(decodeURI(file_path))
when the above approach is followed File constructor err comes up.
File API needs a Blob here is work-arround
var GetFileBlobUsingURL = function (url, convertBlob) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open(GET, url);
xhr.responseType = blob;
xhr.addEventListener('load', function() {
convertBlob(xhr.response);
});
xhr.send();
};
var blobToFile = function (blob, name) {
blob.lastModifiedDate = new Date();
blob.name = name;
return blob;
};
var GetFileObjectFromURL = function(filePathOrUrl, convertBlob) {
GetFileBlobUsingURL(filePathOrUrl, function (blob) {
convertBlob(blobToFile(blob, 'testFile.jpg'));
});
};
var FileURL=test/test.jpg
GetFileObjectFromURL(FileURL, function (fileObject) {
console.log(fileObject);
});
