Let's add an input:
<input type="file" id="myIfcFile">A simple approach to run a function on each file change:
<input type="file" id="myIfcFile" onchange="myFunction()">The detailed insctructions covered the bascis of reading a file and using BIMWHALE.js.
var file = document.getElementById('myIfcFile').files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
var lines = e.target.result.split(/\r\n|\n/);
// TODO
};
reader.readAsText(file);Our HTML should look something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<!-- Input -->
<input type="file" id="myIfcFile" onchange="myFunction()" />
<!-- Bootstrap, jQuery, DataTables -->

<!-- BIMWHALE.js -->

function myFunction() {
var file = document.getElementById("myIfcFile").files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
var lines = e.target.result.split(/\r\n|\n/);
// Create new BIMWHALE.js object
var ifcFile = new BIMWHALE.IfcFile(lines, config);
// Parse file and get IFC entiteis
var ifcEntites = ifcFile.parseIfcFile();
console.log(ifcEntites);
};
reader.readAsText(file);
}
