Should there be a way to share file-blob reference to the outside-js-code?
Currently, we are receiving and decoding file-data using input elements and storing blob ref as a Json.Value. We then pass this value around the app, for anybody to use, by encoding and attaching it to a custom element as a property.
This way any other component outside of elm-env may take a file ref and do whatever they want with it.
It would've been nice to migrate away from using input elements to a more explicit and concise API like elm/file, but unfortunately File does not expose its blob-ref and there's no conversion function like File -> Json.Value.
Should there be a way to share a file-ref with the outside-js-code?
This would be very helpful for me too. It's a real impediment to using elm/file in certain cases because of the inability to pass through a port.
