Can't read contents of a file #16

@laffra: I'm trying to read the contents of a user-specified text file with the code appended below as main.py. I keep getting an error because ltk.File evidently does not generate the full path of the file and instead gives something like C:\fakepath\testfile.txt where testfile.txt is the correct name of the file I selected. I assume I'm missing something, but I don't know what. Is there a way to read the contents of a text file?

import ltk

def read_file(file):
    with open(file, encoding="utf-8") as fp:
        file_text = ltk.create("<script>").text(fp.read())
    return file_text

def feedback(text):
    ltk.find("#feedback").html(text).css("text-align", "left")

@ltk.callback
def handle_file(event):
    element = ltk.find(event.target)
    kind = element.prop("type")
    feedback(f"{kind}: {element.val()}")
    file_text = read_file(element.val())
    ltk.html(file_text).appendTo(ltk.find("body"))

def create():
    return ltk.VBox(
        ltk.Heading1("Can we read a file?"),
        ltk.File().on("change", handle_file),
        ltk.Text("File name goes here").attr("id", "feedback"),
    )

create().appendTo(ltk.find("body"))

I find I can read a text file using only pyscript with the code below. Is there a way to do it with ltk?

# main.py
from js import document, console, FileReader
from pyodide.ffi import create_proxy

def read_file(event):
    try:
        # Get the selected file
        files = event.target.files
        if not files or files.length == 0:
            return

        file = files.item(0)  # Using item() instead of indexing

        def handle_load(e):
            content = e.target.result
            output_div = document.getElementById("output")
            output_div.innerHTML = f"<pre>{content}</pre>"

        # Create a FileReader
        reader = FileReader.new()
        reader.onload = create_proxy(handle_load)

        # Read the file
        reader.readAsText(file)
    except Exception as e:
        console.error(f"Error: {str(e)}")
        output_div = document.getElementById("output")
        output_div.innerHTML = f"<pre>Error reading file: {str(e)}</pre>"

# Add event listener to the file input
file_input = document.getElementById("fileInput")
file_input.addEventListener("change", create_proxy(read_file))

In LTK, I would use ltk.File(handler) as shown in the LTK Kitchensink using LTK >v0.2.8. See the source for ltk.File here

Awesome--that works great! Thank you so much!

Here is some code that exercises the new file reading ability in case it is useful for anyone.

#--------------------------------------------------------------------
# main.py
import ltk

@ltk.callback
def loaded_file(file, content):
    ltk.find("#content").html(content)

def create():
    return ltk.VBox(
        ltk.Heading1("Can we read a file?"),
        ltk.File(loaded_file),
        ltk.Label("File contents:"),
        ltk.Preformatted(
            "File contents will be shown here after selecting file.",
            {
                "margin-left": 20,
                "margin-right": 20,
                "padding": 8,
                "background-color": "lightyellow",
                "border": "1px solid gray",
            },
        ).attr("id", "content"),
    )

create().appendTo(ltk.find("body"))

Can you put that example on pyscript.com? Then we can link to it from the LTK docs. Chris

I put the example on pyscript.com at https://pyscript.com/@gnordin/ltk-read-a-file/latest. If there is a different place you would like it, please let me know. I've not really used pyscript.com before so I don't know what the norms are in how to share things there.
