It seems chardet can only be used in Node environment.

Hope chardet support client-side javascript.

In other words, hope it can be used with FileReader.

Now I know the solution.

Assume file is one of the drop file, reader is an instance of FileReader,

1. use reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file) to get ArrayBuffer, named arraybuf.
2. use var enc=chardet.detect(new Buffer(arraybuf)) to detect the encoding as enc.
3. use reader.readAsText(file,enc) to extract the contents of the file.

Thanks for your package.

Closing it as stale.
