I am trying to use filereader to read data of multiple files in an array. But there is an error saying The object is already busy reading Blobs.

                    flag = 1;
                    var file;
                    var fileRead = [];
                    for (var i = 0, f; f = changeEvent.target.files[i]; i++) {
                        reader.onload = function(loadEvent) {
                            scope.$apply(function() {
                                if (flag == 1) {
                                    fileRead.push(loadEvent.target.result);

                                }
                            });
                        };

                        reader.readAsDataURL(f);
                    }

                    for (i = 0; i < changeEvent.target.files.length; i++) {
                        file = changeEvent.target.files[i];
                        fileName.push(file.name);
                    }
                }
            }

i have tried using a loop to see if that operation is done but it ends up in an infinite loop.

• should be reader.onloadend instead of reader.onload – juvian Commented Dec 18, 2014 at 20:15
• tried that too. it doesn't make any difference – raghav raja Commented Dec 18, 2014 at 20:20
• 1 You are calling reader.readAsDataURL(f); before it is able to finish with the previous file. readAsDataURL is asynchronous. Why do you think you have to provide a load event handler? You are basically telling reader to read n files at once. – Felix Kling Commented Dec 18, 2014 at 20:20

You need to wait for the reader to finish reading, filereader is async so you can't do that in the for. Haven't tried it, but here is how to do it:

function readFiles() {
   if (changeEvent.target.files.length > 0) { // if we still have files left
       var file = changeEvent.target.files.shift(); // remove first from queue and store in file

       reader.onloadend = function (loadEvent) { // when finished reading file, call recursive readFiles function
           fileRead.push(loadEvent.target.result);
           readFiles();
       }
       reader.readAsDataURL(file);

   } else {
       finishedReadingFiles() // no more files to read
   }
}
readFiles();

Here's a snippet of what worked for me. readAsDataURL is async so you have to wait for the file to read before working on the next one. Make sure you declare the reader within the loop.

       var files = e.target.files;

       if(files) {
        for (let i = 0, f; f = files[i]; i++) {
            var reader = new FileReader();
            reader.onloadend = function(output){
                console.log('output', output.target.result)
                console.log('fileNamnes', f.name)
            }.bind(this);
            reader.readAsDataURL(f)
        }
       }

You can create an object to each file. Try this:

inputFile.addEventListener("change", (event) => {
   [...event.target.files].forEach(file => {
       const reader = new FileReader()
       reader.addEventListener('load', event => {
           console.dir(event.target.result);
       });
       reader.readAsText(file);
   });
}, false);
