How To Read Text-file In React JS Using JavaScript

Hello Developers, In this blog, we will learn how to read text files in react-js using simple javascript

First of all, create a new app using following command

npx create-react-app

After that, we will create two text files and save them with dummy text

Now in our js file, make a new File reader

const reader = new FileReader();

Then make a function to read file

const onFileUpload = (e) => {
    const reader = new FileReader();
     if (reader.readAsText) {
          reader.onload = (e) => {
          setData(reader.result)
         };
       reader.readAsText(e.target.files[0]);  
   }
}
<div style={{ display: 'flex', flexDirection: 'column', alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 
'center', height: '100vh', gap: '10px' }}>
    <input type='file' onChange={onFileUpload} />
    {data}
</div>
