How to get local folder name with AngularJs?

Question

I need to browse to a folder to get the directory name by clicking a button, is there any way of getting this? I was thinking I could achieve this by using <input type="file" />

If you want server side answers, add nodejs and fileserver to your tags. — georgeawg

For security reasons you cant. You can get just the file name, the rest is handled by the browser.
