I have a CSV file in the same directory as my React app that I am trying to read with Javascript. I am using Papaparse to parse the CSV file.
Here is my code:
Papa.parse("./headlines.csv", {
download: true,
complete: function(results, file) {
console.log("Parsing complete:", results, file);
}
})
My issue is that when I try to parse the file, all that gets returned is the HTML code for the index.html
file in my React app.
Well according to PapaParser Docs, you need to pass in a js File Object or a CSV String.
// file is a File object obtained from the DOM.
// config is a config object which contains a callback.
// Doesn't return anything. Results are provided asynchronously to a callback function.
Papa.parse(file, config)
JS: Using Async/Await
const csv = await fetch('/headlines.csv').then( res => res.text() );
Papa.parse( csv, {
download: true,
complete: function(results, file) {
console.log("Parsing complete:", results, file);
}
});
JS: Using Promises
fetch('/headlines.csv')
.then( res => res.text() )
.then( csv => {
Papa.parse( csv, {
download: true,
complete: function(results, file) {
console.log("Parsing complete:", results, file);
}
});
});
