uppy.getFile doesn't return file data
See original GitHub issueI’m trying to use the React <DragDrop /> component to allow users to upload a .csv file, then I want to grab the CSV data and process it in the browser. I’m grabbing the file from the ‘file-added’ event - the file has a data member containing metadata like name, id etc. I’m then calling uppy.getFile, passing it the file ID I just retrieved from the ‘file-added’ event - getFile returns a new object, which according to the documentation should have a data member that represents the blob of the file - but it’s not, it’s just the same metadata object I saw in the results of the ‘file-added’ event.
Is it possible to get the data of the drag-dropped file?

@goto-bus-stop I think the docs should be changed - the part I linked to in my original post definitely gives the impression that
getFilegives you the file data (“the Blob object”).The docs now link to the MDN pages for Blob/File. Thanks for the report!
