how does URL.createObjectURl differ from fileReader
const fileSelect = document.getElementById("fileSelect"),
fileElem = document.getElementById("fileElem"),
fileList = document.getElementById("fileList");
fileSelect.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
if (fileElem) {
fileElem.click();
}
e.preventDefault(); // prevent navigation to "#"
}, false);
fileElem.addEventListener("change", handleFiles, false);
function handleFiles() {
if (!this.files.length) {
fileList.innerHTML = "<p>No files selected!</p>";
} else {
fileList.innerHTML = "";
const list = document.createElement("ul");
fileList.appendChild(list);
for (let i = 0; i < this.files.length; i++) {
const li = document.createElement("li");
list.appendChild(li);
const img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = URL.createObjectURL(this.files[i]);
img.height = 60;
img.onload = function() {
URL.revokeObjectURL(this.src);
}
li.appendChild(img);
const info = document.createElement("span");
info.innerHTML = this.files[i].name + ": " + this.files[i].size + " bytes";
li.appendChild(info);
}
}
}
