Open Layers 3 Drag & Drop feature, get file name of file dropped

Dragging and dropping vector layers can be achieved as per the instructions on the Openlayers 3 demo page:

http://openlayers.org/en/v3.15.1/examples/drag-and-drop.html

This works perfectly fine, so I shan't post the source code here.

My question is: How can I get the file name (or layer name) that's being added to the map? Nothing stands out to me in the API documentation here.

I've sussed it out, it isn't present in the API docs as far as I can tell, but via Firebug I was able to get the value from within the dragAndDropInteraction event handler:

dragAndDropInteraction.on('addfeatures', function(event) {    
     var file_name = event.file.name;
});
