Here’s how to open a file
const [fileHandle] = await window.showOpenFilePicker();
const file = await fileHandle.getFile();
const contents = await file.text();
Here’s how to save a file
const options: SaveFilePickerOptions = {
types: [
{
description: 'Markdown',
accept: {
'text/plain': ['.md'],
},
},
],
};
const handle = await window.showSaveFilePicker(options);
To write to a file you already have “open” you need to create a writable stream. fileHandle
is the variable from above.
const writableStream = await fileHandle.createWritable();
await writableStream.write(fileContent);
await writableStream.close();
