Upload and read file client side, with angular 2
<p>I need log file(s) from user so I can read and analyze those. For example somekind of drop area, where user drops a file, then I can read it with javascript?</p>

<p>I use Angular2 rc5. I have node.js running backside, but I don't need the data there. I need it only at client side.</p>

<p>Is it possible to read and parse file content with just frontend tech, like angular2 and javascript? Or do I have to upload the file to server and analyze it there?</p>
