The FileSystemEntry interface's method toURL() creates and returns a string containing a URL which can be used to identify the file system entry. This is done by exposing a new URL scheme—filesystem:—that can be used as the value of src and href attributes.
FileSystemEntry.toURL([mimeType]);
A DOMString containing a URL that can then be used as a document reference in HTML content, or an empty string if the URL can't be generated (such as if the file system implementation doesn't support toURL()).
If you have a FileSystemFileEntry corresponding to an image file in a file system available to your Web site or app, you can call toURL() to get its URL for use in HTML. If your site is located at http://my-awesome-website.woot, and you have a temporary file system that contains an image file named awesomesauce.jpg, the URL returned by toURL() might be (depending on the browser's implementation) something like "filesystem:http://my-awesome-website.woot/temporary/awesomesauce.jpg".
Code that makes use of this might look like this:
let img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = imageFileEntry.toURL();
document.body.appendChild(img);
Assuming the scenario mentioned before the code, the result would be HTML that looks like this being appended to the end of the document:
<img src="filesystem:http://my-awesome-website.woot/temporary/awesomesauce.jpg">
