Uncaught ReferenceError: Papa is not defined. Loaded in from cdn in header

Below is the HTML. I load in the cdn hosted lib for PapaParse in the header. But when I run my JavaScript file and it runs the function where I call Papa.unparse(data); It throws an error saying that Papa is not defined. So I am a bit confused on what the exact issue here is because I clearly have loaded it into the html and before my JavaScript scripts are loaded as well. Help is much appreciated.

Edit: I have fixed the issue. The problem was the cdn itself. I assume the links are broken or the file is not on their server. It may also be that specific version, I suspect this is most likely the cause. Tested same version with cdnjs still does not work. Weird.

<script src="https://fastcdn.org/Papa-Parse/4.1.2/papaparse.min.js"></script>

This version and cdn seems to work. Thanks!

   

 function makeThatExcelFilePapa(data, title) {
        var csv = Papa.unparse(data);
        return csv;
    }
// Make sure the DOM is loaded before trying to add listeners
window.onload = function () {
    // Set dropdown list for Brand to be empty on start
    document.getElementById("dealerSearchForm").elements["brand"].selectedIndex = -1;

    // Call submit method when submit button is clicked
    var submitButton = this.document.getElementById("submitButton");
    $(submitButton).on('click', getFormData);
    $(exportToExcel).on('click', callJSONConverter);
}

var items;
function callJSONConverter() {
    //JSONToCSVConvertor(JSON.stringify(items), "Results for " + dealerName, true);
    makeThatExcelFilePapa(items, "Results for " + dealerName);
    return false;
}

Solution

  • Try doing:

    $(document).ready(function() {
    function makeThatExcelFilePapa(data, title) {
        var csv = Papa.unparse(data);
        return csv;
    }
});

    And, as others have pointed out, don't load the Papa library twice.
