read csv-data and put it in an array

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp there are a bunch of libraries for csv to ???

google is your friend

https://www.npmjs.com/package/convert-csv-to-array

if u convert it to json, its a lot easier to work with in code
I use https://www.npmjs.com/package/csvtojson

to include in my modul i have to do the following ?

1. go in my module-folder
2. npm i --save csvtojson

than i have to include in my module.js:
// required scripts
getScripts: function() {
return [“moment.js”, “csvtojson.js”];
},

is this right?
if so, how to use it in my script ?

many thanks in advance.
stay healthy !

@Perlchamp you have to use the node_helper.js … the module.js file runs in the browser and doesn’t have access to local files

var xxx= require(‘’)…

then module has to send request to node_helper and node_helper has to send results back

see my MyCovid19 module

@Perlchamp show me the config for the module?

[Perlchamp]

in config.js i didn’t use the config section. i thought the defaults should be enough. ok, i will put the config section into the config.js. just a moment, please …
