How can i use map on FileList array?

Question

can i use map on FileList? the object is iterable so maybe there's some way to make it work with map?

for example:

    window.addEventListener('drop', e => {
      e.preventDefault();
      if(e.dataTransfer?.files) {
        const files = e.dataTransfer.files.map(f => f.path); // imaginary code
      }
    })

Answer 1

.map() exists only on Array.prototype, not on FileList. But you can use Array.from() to convert any iterable object into an array, and then use the map function:

const files = Array.from(e.dataTransfer.files).map(f => f.path);
