getFileHandle(name, options)
name
A string representing the FileSystemHandle.name of the file you wish to retrieve.
options Optional
An object with the following properties:
create Optional
A Boolean. Default false. When set to true if the file is not found, one with the specified name will be created and returned.
A Promise which resolves with a FileSystemFileHandle.
NotAllowedError DOMException
Thrown if the PermissionStatus.state for the handle is not 'granted' in readwrite mode if the create option is set to true or in read mode if the create option is set to false.
TypeError
Thrown if the name specified is not a valid string or contains characters that would interfere with the native file system.
TypeMismatchError DOMException
Thrown if the named entry is a directory and not a file.
NotFoundError DOMException
Thrown if the current entry is not found or if the file doesn't exist and the create option is set to false.
The following example returns a file handle with the specified name, if the file does not exist it is created.
const fileName = "fileToGetName";
// assuming we have a directory handle: 'currentDirHandle'
const fileHandle = currentDirHandle.getFileHandle(fileName, { create: true });
