EDIT: [SOLVED] For anyone who reads this, Papa Parse is a parser for the browser, not Node.js. Baby Parse is used for Node.js, but know that it isn't as extensive in its functionality and can't parse straight from a file, only from a string.
In the papaparse.js
file, it has this line of code:
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
This seems to be causing the error and I'm not sure how to get around it.
My code:
var Papa = require('papaparse');
var data;
process.argv.forEach(function(val, index, array) {
console.log(index + ': ' + val);
});
var file = process.argv[2];
console.log("File: " + file);
// Parse the file
Papa.parse(file, {
header: true,
download: true,
dynamicTyping: true,
complete: function(results) {
data = results;
console.log(data);
}
});
Any ideas would be appreciated :)
actually PapaParse can be used in a node environment now: https://github.com/mholt/PapaParse/blob/master/README.md#papa-parse-for-node
however, you have to disable the "download" option in the parse-config, since otherwise the library will attempt to load the file via XMLHttpRequest.
