How can to read the full path of file when select from elm form ?

I'm going to use FileReader library of Simon

https://github.com/simonh1000/file-reader/blob/master/examples/Ex1-Input.elm

I know NativeFile :

type alias NativeFile = { name : String , size : Int , mimeType : Maybe MimeType.MimeType , blob : FileRef }

How can to read the full path of file when select from elm form ?

Thanks for your library, Simon

Short answer: you can't.

For security reasons browsers do not allow access to the file system. Note this is not a limitation of Elm. The HTML5 File API simply doesn't allow that.
