read docx file in javascript

To read a DOCX file in JavaScript, you can use the jszip library to unzip the file and then parse its contents. Here is an example of how you can accomplish this:

1. First, include the jszip library in your HTML file:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jszip/3.2.2/jszip.min.js"></script>
88 chars
2 lines

2. Then use the following JavaScript code to read the DOCX file:

index.tsx
// Load the DOCX file using XMLHttpRequest
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'path/to/your/docx/file.docx', true);
xhr.responseType = 'blob';

xhr.onload = function(e) {
  if (this.status === 200) {
    var blob = this.response;

    // Use JSZip to unzip the DOCX file
    JSZip.loadAsync(blob).then(function (zip) {
      // Read the contents from the "word/document.xml" file
      return zip.file('word/document.xml').async('string');
    }).then(function (content) {
      // Parse the XML content and extract the text
      var parser = new DOMParser();
      var xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(content, 'text/xml');
      var text = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('w:t')[0].textContent;

      // Display the text
      console.log(text);
    });
  }
};

xhr.send();
786 chars
27 lines

In this example, we are using XMLHttpRequest to load the DOCX file and JSZip.loadAsync to unzip it asynchronously. Then, we read the content from the word/document.xml file, which contains the text of the document. Finally, we use DOMParser to parse the XML content and extract the text.

Please make sure to replace 'path/to/your/docx/file.docx' with the actual path to your DOCX file.

Note: Reading DOCX files in JavaScript is a complex task and this solution might not cover all possible scenarios. It assumes that the DOCX file structure follows the standard conventions. You may need to modify the code based on your specific requirements.
