    },
    link: function(scope, element) {
      $(element).on('change', function(changeEvent) {
        var files = changeEvent.target.files;
        if (files.length) {
          var r = new FileReader();
          r.onload = function(e) {
              var contents = e.target.result;
              scope.$apply(function () {
                scope.fileReader = contents;
              });

Problem

I want to read a csv file and get its content by using AngularJS and HTML5. I want to put the content of the csv file in $scope.
