read a file in javascript

In JavaScript, we can read a file using the FileReader object. Here's an example of how to read a file:

index.tsx
// create a new file reader
var reader = new FileReader();

// define a function to handle the file contents
reader.onload = function(e) {
  // do something with the file contents
  console.log(e.target.result);
};

// read the file
reader.readAsText(file);
258 chars
12 lines

In this example, we create a new FileReader object and define a function to handle the file contents when they are loaded. We then use the readAsText method of the FileReader object to read the file as text. When the file has been read, the onload function is called and we can access the contents of the file through the target.result property of the event object.
