Elm file reader

WARNING: this package won't work in the upcoming Elm 0.19 and there probably will be no way to publish a package with this API, since it relies on event handler content attributes, which will be disallowed in the upcoming release.

But it will work with Elm 0.18.

This package is a simple way to use the FileReader api from Elm. It provides attributes that help handle the different events and read files and send them as messages to Elm.

To make a file input and get a message in Elm, this is all you have to do:

import FileReader

type Msg =
    FileSelected FileReader.File

Html.input (FileReader.fileInput FileReader.DataURL FileSelected) []
