FileSystemEntry: fullPath property
The read-only fullPath
property
of the FileSystemEntry
interface returns a string
specifying the full, absolute path from the file system's root to the file represented
by the entry.
This can also be thought of as a path which is relative to the root directory, with a "/" prepended to it to make it absolute.
Value
A string indicating the entry's full path.
Examples
This example shows a function which is called with a file system; it then gets a
FileSystemFileEntry
for a file named data.json
and returns
its full path.
js
function gotFileSystem(fs) {
let path = "";
fs.root.getFile(
"data.json",
{ create: true, exclusive: true },
(entry) => {
path = fullPath;
},
handleError(error)
);
return path;
}
Obviously, this is somewhat contrived, since we know that the file's full path is
"/data.json"
, having just looked it up ourselves, but the concept holds up
for scenarios in which you don't know it.
