slug Web/API/FileSystemHandle/isSameEntry
page-type web-api-instance-method
browser-compat api.FileSystemHandle.isSameEntry

{{securecontext_header}}{{APIRef("File System API")}}{{AvailableInWorkers}}

The isSameEntry() method of the {{domxref("FileSystemHandle")}} interface compares two {{domxref("FileSystemHandle", "handles")}} to see if the associated entries (either a file or directory) match.

Syntax

isSameEntry(fileSystemHandle)

Parameters

  • {{domxref("FileSystemHandle")}}
    • : The FileSystemHandle to match against the handle on which the method is invoked.

Return value

A Promise that fulfills with a {{jsxref('Boolean')}}.

Examples

The following function compares a single entry with an array of entries, and returns a {{jsxref("Promise")}} that fulfils with a new array with any matching entries removed.

async function removeMatches(fileEntry, entriesArr) {
  const newArr = [];
  for (const entry of entriesArr) {
    if (!(await fileEntry.isSameEntry(entry))) {
      newArr.push(entry);
    }
  }
  return newArr;
}
