specify file path without input file html tag

[abbioinfo]

Hi Developer,
I am working on building a web server in which I have to generate a blast output and show it to users. The "blasterjs" can help in visualizing my output, but currently it requires user to submit BLAST output via <Input Type="file> tag. Is there any way, I can directly specify the BLAST output file path to JS, without the need of <Input Type="file>

Thank you

Hi @abbioinfo ,

I stay in same problem, but i can generate the blasterjs output without input file from the user.

In documentation the BlasterJS, the code for this:

...
<script type="text/javascript">
    var alignments = "...";
       
    var blasterjs = require("biojs-vis-blasterjs");
    var instance  = new blasterjs({
        string: alignments,
        multipleAlignments: "blast-multiple-alignments",
        alignmentsTable: "blast-alignments-table",
        singleAlignment: "blast-single-alignment"
    });    
</script>

But, the file from var alignment dont specificed (i had problems with line breaks, despite only referencing the file without alignments). For resolved the problem, i returned the blast result in variable with outfmt="0" (in python) and referencied in js with format "blast_output". The return is read in blasterjs, but dont view the results with alignments.

My code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var alignments = `{{blast_output}}`;
    var blasterjs = require("biojs-vis-blasterjs");
    var instance  = new blasterjs({
        string: alignments,
        multipleAlignments: "blast-multiple-alignments",
        alignmentsTable: "blast-alignments-table",
        singleAlignment: "blast-single-alignment"
    });
</script>

Hope this helps
