I have the following csv file that is named data.csv
and located in the same folder as my js controller:
namn,vecka,måndag,tisdag,onsdag,torsdag,fredag,lördag,söndag
Row01,a,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,a7
Row02,b,b1,b2,b3,b4,b5,b6,b7
Row03,c,c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7
Row04,d,d1,d2,d3,d4,d5,d6,d7
Row05,e,e1,e2,e3,e4,e5,e6,e7
Row06,f,f1,f2,f3,f4,f5,f6,f7
Row07,g,g1,g2,g3,g4,g5,g6,g7
Row08,h,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,h7
Row09,i,i1,i2,i3,i4,i5,i6,i7
Row10,j,j1,j2,j3,j4,j5,j6,j7
Row11,k,k1,k2,k3,k4,k5,k6,k7
Row12,l,l1,l2,l3,l4,l5,l6,l7
In react, I need to import a csv file and parse it to JSON. I tried the following:
componentWillMount() {
this.getCsvData();
}
getData(result) {
console.log(result);
}
getCsvData() {
let csvData = require('./data.csv');
Papa.parse(csvData, {
complete: this.getData
});
}
This doesnt work for some reason. The first console.log displays /static/media/data.0232d748.csv
and the second displays the following:
{
"data": [
[
"/static/media/horoscope-data.0232d748.csv"
]
],
"errors": [
{
"type": "Delimiter",
"code": "UndetectableDelimiter",
"message": "Unable to auto-detect delimiting character; defaulted to ','"
}
],
"meta": {
"delimiter": ",",
"linebreak": "\n",
"aborted": false,
"truncated": false,
"cursor": 41
}
}
I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Can someone help me?
To answer my own question, I was able to rewrite it like this (/src/controllers/data-controller/data-controller.js
, added the full code for better clarity):
import React from 'react';
import Papa from 'papaparse';
import {withRouter} from 'react-router-dom';
class DataController extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
data: []
};
this.getData = this.getData.bind(this);
}
componentWillMount() {
this.getCsvData();
}
fetchCsv() {
return fetch('/data/data.csv').then(function (response) {
let reader = response.body.getReader();
let decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8');
return reader.read().then(function (result) {
return decoder.decode(result.value);
});
});
}
getData(result) {
this.setState({data: result.data});
}
async getCsvData() {
let csvData = await this.fetchCsv();
Papa.parse(csvData, {
complete: this.getData
});
}
render() {
return (
<section className="data-controller">
...
</section>
);
}
}
export default withRouter(DataController);
Here I use the built in fetch to get it like a stream and then read the stream using the build in stream reader, and decode the data using TextDecoder
. I had to move the file also. Before it was located in /src/controllers/data-controller
but I had to move it to /public/data
.
Here's a similar example using React Hooks -
import React from 'react'
import Papa from 'papaparse'
export default function() {
const [rows, setRows] = React.useState([])
React.useEffect(() => {
async function getData() {
const response = await fetch('/data/nodes.csv')
const reader = response.body.getReader()
const result = await reader.read() // raw array
const decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8')
const csv = decoder.decode(result.value) // the csv text
const results = Papa.parse(csv, { header: true }) // object with { data, errors, meta }
const rows = results.data // array of objects
setRows(rows)
}
getData()
}, []) // [] means just do this once, after initial render
return (
<div className="app">
<Table cols={tripColumns} rows={rows} />
</div>
)
}
