const body = document.body;
const drop = require("drag-and-drop-files");
 
// make it so console can be piped to.
console.write = function(obj) { console.log(obj.toString()) };

  const fileList = FileListStream(event.dataTransfer.files);
 
  fileList.files.map(function(file) {
     file.pipe(console);
  });
    
});

usage

FileListStream(fileList, [options])

options can specify output. Possible values are:

• arraybuffer [default]
• binary
• dataurl
• text

You can also specify chunkSize, default is 8128. This is how many bytes will be read and written at a time to the stream you get back for each file.

You can access the individual FileStreams by index on the FileListStream instance, or directly through the files property, which is a true array.
