This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The read-only name
property of the FileSystemEntry
interface returns a USVString
specifying the entry's name; this is the entry within its parent directory (the last component of the path as indicated by the fullPath
property).
Syntax
var name = FileSystemEntry.name;
Value
A USVString
indicating the entry's name.
Example
This example shows a function called isFileWithExtension()
which returns true if the specified FileSystemEntry
is both a file and the file's name ends with a given extension.
function isFileWithExtension(entry, extension) { return (entry.isFile && entry.name.endsWith("." + extension)); }
