Usage
ES6

document.addEventListener('drop', async evt => {
const files = await fromEvent(evt);
console.log(files);
});
Convert a change event for an input type file to File objects:
import {fromEvent} from 'file-selector';
const input = document.getElementById('myInput');
input.addEventListener('change', async evt => {
const files = await fromEvent(evt);
console.log(files);
});
Convert FileSystemFileHandle items to File objects:
import {fromEvent} from 'file-selector';
// Open file picker
const handles = await window.showOpenFilePicker({multiple: true});
// Get the files
const files = await fromEvent(handles);
console.log(files);
NOTE The above is experimental and subject to change.
CommonJS
