        @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
