Get input file path using NeutralinoJS

Question

How do I get input file path using NeutralinoJS?

My Code:

<input type="file" id="inputFile">

const inputFilePath = document.getElementById('inputFile').files[0].path
console.log(inputFilePath)

Answer 1

I don't think browsers allow you to get file paths.

You could use the file picker API instead os.showDialogOpen(DialogOpenOptions): https://neutralino.js.org/docs/api/os#osshowdialogopendialogopenoptions

<button onclick="onFileUpload()">

async onFileUpload () {
  let response = await Neutralino.os.showDialogOpen({
    title: 'Select a file'
  })
  console.log(`You've selected: ${response.selectedEntry}`)
}
