The File and Directory Entries API interface FileSystem
is used to represent a file system. These objects can be obtained from the filesystem
property on any file system entry. Some browsers offer additional APIs to create and manage file systems, such as Chrome's requestFileSystem()
method.
This interface will not grant you access to the users' filesystem. Instead, you will have a "virtual drive" within the browser sandbox if you want to gain access to the users' file system, you need to invoke the user, for example by installing a Chrome extension. The relevant Chrome API can be found in the Chrome developer docs.
Basic conceptsThere are two ways to get access to a FileSystem
object:
window.requestFileSystem()
. If that call is successful, it executes a callback handler, which receives as a parameter a FileSystem
object describing the file system.filesystem
property.FileSystem.name
Read only
A string representing the file system's name. This name is unique among the entire list of exposed file systems.
FileSystem.root
Read only
A FileSystemDirectoryEntry
object which represents the file system's root directory. Through this object, you can gain access to all files and directories in the file system.
