How to preview picture stored in the fake path in Angular 2/Typescript?

Question

Browsers don\'t take full path of local disc, instead they concatenate the filename with fakepath. Is there any way to access the file (image) from fakepath using typescript

Answer 1

Adding to @GünterZöchbauer answer, this wasn't working for me until I added this:

reader.onload = function(e:any){
   this.url = e.target.result;
}

Prior to adding 'any', I was getting the error:

property 'result' does not exist on type 'eventtarget'
