I have a CSV file and I want to parse it using PapaParse. How do I do this properly?
I have so far:
Papa.parse(fileInput, {
download: true,
complete: function(results) {
console.log(results.data);
console.log(results.errors);
}
});
However, is there a better way to do this? Is this the proper way to get errors? The documentation didn't emphasize download: true or anything so I was wondering if there are any experts on this subject here.
EDIT: Also, am I suppose to further parse the file with papacsv or do it in react. For instance, if I have multiple arrays in my data file which have a similar name reference. Should I initially somehow parse the file so it groups all those references together and how would I go about doing this?
For instance,
Date, Name , Win/Lose
I want to group all the winners together. How do I do that?
The method you are using of Papa parse, is for remote CSV.
download: true is for downloading the remote file.
By using Papa parse, this is the only way of getting errors, data, meta with parse result object.
//If(header:true)
var data = [
{
"date": "8/12/2018",
"name": "foo",
"win/loose": "win"
},
{
"date": "8/12/2018",
"name": "foo",
"win/loose": "loose"
},
{
"date": "8/12/2018",
"name": "foo1",
"win/loose": "win"
},
];
var winners = data.filter(d => d['win/loose'] == 'win');
console.log(winners);
//If you want to group winners and losers then:
var grouped = data.reduce(function(acc, co) {
var key = co['win/loose'];
if(!acc[key]) {
acc[key] = [];
}
acc[key].push(co);
return acc;
}, {});
console.log(grouped);
This'll give you separate array of winners from extracted data.

I created a JSON file as follows
{
"fooditems" : [
{
"name": "pizza",
"type": "fastfood",
"price": 10
},
{
"name": "apple",
"type": "fruit",
"price": 1
}
]
}
created a JS file to read the JSON file
const data = require("./data.json");
data1 = JSON.parse(data);
data1.foodData.forEach( foodItem => console.log(foodItem));
When I run the JS, I get error for the json file
Syntax error: Unexpected token o in json at position 1
at JSON.parse
You don't need to parse data since it's already and object. The following should work.
const data = require("./data.json");
data.fooditems.forEach( foodItem => console.log(foodItem));
Note foodData was change to fooditems based on the contents of the data.json file.
Your initial data JSON contains "fooditems", but in the JS file you are trying to process the "foodData". Change the "foodData" to "fooditems" and it should work.
I think that you are trying to access invalid object key in your JS file on the last line.
Instead of
data1.foodData
put
data1.fooditems
I have been trying to figure out how to do 2fa with webauthn and I have the registration part working. The details are really poorly documented, especially all of the encoding payloads in javascript. I am able to register a device to a user, but I am not able to authenticate with that device. For reference, I'm using these resources:
https://github.com/cedarcode/webauthn-ruby
https://www.passwordless.dev/js/mfa.register.js
And specifically, for authentication, I'm trying to mimic this js functionality:
https://www.passwordless.dev/js/mfa.register.js
In my user model, I have a webauthn_id, and several u2f devices, each of which has a public_key and a webauthn_id.
In my Rails app, I do:
options = WebAuthn::Credential.options_for_get(allow: :webauthn_id)
session[:webauthn_options] = options
In my javascript, I try to mimic the js file above and I do (this is embedded ruby):
options = <%= raw #options.as_json.to_json %>
options.challenge = WebAuthnHelpers.coerceToArrayBuffer(options.challenge);
options.allowCredentials = options.allowCredentials.map((c) => {
c.id = WebAuthnHelpers.coerceToArrayBuffer(c.id);
return c;
});
navigator.credentials.get({ "publicKey": options }).then(function (credentialInfoAssertion)
{
// send assertion response back to the server
// to proceed with the control of the credential
alert('here');
}).catch(function (err)
{
debugger
console.error(err); /* THIS IS WHERE THE ERROR IS THROWN */
});
The problem is, I cannot get past navigator.credentials.get, I get this error in the javascript console:
TypeError: CredentialsContainer.get: Element of 'allowCredentials' member of PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions can't be converted to a dictionary
options at the time navigator.credentials.get is called looks like this:
I've tried every which way to convert my db-stored user and device variables into javascript properly encoded and parsed variables but cannot seem to get it to work. Anything obvious about what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for any help,
Kevin
UPDATE -
Adding options json generated by the server:
"{\"challenge\":\"SSDYi4I7kRWt5wc5KjuAvgJ3dsQhjy7IPOJ0hvR5tMg\",\"timeout\":120000,\"allowCredentials\":[{\"type\":\"public-key\",\"id\":\"OUckfxGNLGGASUfGiX-1_8FzehlXh3fKvJ98tm59mVukJkKb_CGk1avnorL4sQQASVO9aGqmgn01jf629Jt0Z0SmBpDKd9sL1T5Z9loDrkLTTCIzrIRqhwPC6yrkfBFi\"},{\"type\":\"public-key\",\"id\":\"Fj5T-WPmEMTz139mY-Vo0DTfsNmjwy_mUx6jn5rUEPx-LsY51mxNYidprJ39_cHeAOieg-W12X47iJm42K0Tsixj4_Fl6KjdgYoxQtEYsNF-LPhwtoKwYsy1hZgVojp3\"}]}"
This is an example of the serialised JSON data returned by our implementation:
{
"challenge": "MQ1S8MBSU0M2kiJqJD8wnQ",
"timeout": 60000,
"rpId": "identity.acme.com",
"allowCredentials": [
{
"type": "public-key",
"id": "k5Ti8dLdko1GANsBT-_NZ5L_-8j_8TnoNOYe8mUcs4o",
"transports": [
"internal"
]
},
{
"type": "public-key",
"id": "LAqkKEO99XPCQ7fsUa3stz7K76A_mE5dQwX4S3QS6jdbI9ttSn9Hu37BA31JUGXqgyhTtskL5obe6uZxitbIfA",
"transports": [
"usb"
]
},
{
"type": "public-key",
"id": "nbN3S08Wv2GElRsW9AmK70J1INEpwIywQcOl6rp_DWLm4mcQiH96TmAXSrZRHciZBENVB9rJdE94HPHbeVjtZg",
"transports": [
"usb"
]
}
],
"userVerification": "discouraged",
"extensions": {
"txAuthSimple": "Sign in to your ACME account",
"exts": true,
"uvi": true,
"loc": true,
"uvm": true
}
}
This is parsed to an object and the code used to coerce those base64url encoded values is:
credentialRequestOptions.challenge = WebAuthnHelpers.coerceToArrayBuffer(credentialRequestOptions.challenge);
credentialRequestOptions.allowCredentials = credentialRequestOptions.allowCredentials.map((c) => {
c.id = WebAuthnHelpers.coerceToArrayBuffer(c.id);
return c;
});
Hope that helps. The JSON data is retreived via a fetch() call and the byte[] fields are encoded as base64url on the serverside.
The backend of my webapp, written in node.js interacts with Json file, with a specific format that I thought not so complex but apparently is.
The structure of my json file is as such :
{
"data": [
{
"somefield": "ioremipsum",
"somedate" : "2018-08-23T11:48:00Z",
"someotherdate" : "2018-08-23T13:43:00Z",
"somethingelse":"ioremipsum",
"files": [
{
"specificfieldinarray": "ioremipsum",
"specificotherfieldinarray": "ioremipsum"
},
{
"specificfieldinarray": "ioremipsum",
"specificotherfieldinarray": "ioremipsum"
},
{
"specificfieldinarray": "ioremipsum",
"specificotherfieldinarray": "ioremipsum"
}
]
}
]
}
I try to make this answer fit a JS object like this :
const file = require('specificJsonFile.json');
let fileList = file;
And I need to loop through my 'files' array, for further treatments, but unfortunately, my JS object looks like this :
{ data:
[ { somefield: "ioremipsum",
somedate : "2018-08-23T11:48:00Z",
someotherdate : "2018-08-23T13:43:00Z",
somethingelse:"ioremipsum",
files: [Array] } ] }
Please forgive me if this is obvious, for I am still a beginner with JS.
That's only how console.log logs deep objects. To get a deeper output, you can use util.inspect
const util = require('util');
console.log(util.inspect(yourObject, {showHidden: false, depth: null}));
To loop each data's files, simply loop data, then its files
yourObject.data.forEach(d => {
d.files.forEach(file => console.log(file));
});
It looks like there is nothing wrong there and the console is abbreviating the log.
Try accessing the files list with the following code:
const filesList = file.data[0].files
and then
console.log(filesList) to check that it's eventually working.
Hope it helps!
let fileList = file.data[0].files;
This will create an array of only your files array.
You can console.log(fileList)
Or whatever you like with the data.
Based on your comment, try the of keyword instead of in keyword to get the behaviour you expected.
for (let file of fileList){
console.log(file);
}
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/for...of
You can use for in
for (item in fileList.data) {
for (file in fileList.data[item].files) {
let data = fileList.data[item].files[file];
// process the data
}
}
I am writing to a json file in casperjs and am trying to add new objects to it.
json file looks like
{ "visited": [
{
"id": "258b5ee8-9538-4480-8109-58afe741dc2f",
"url": "https://................"
},
{
"id": "5304de97-a970-48f2-9d3b-a750bad5416c",
"url": "https://.............."
},
{
"id": "0fc7a072-7e94-46d6-b38c-9c7aedbdaded",
"url": "https://................."
}]}
The code to add to the array is
var data;
if (fs.isFile(FILENAME)) {
data = fs.read(FILENAME);
} else {
data = JSON.stringify({ 'visited': [] });
}
var json = JSON.parse(data);
json.visited.push(visiteddata);
data = JSON.stringify(json, null, '\n');
fs.write(FILENAME, data, "a");
This is starting off by adding an new { "visited" : [ ] } array with first couple of objects, below the existing { "visited" : [ ] } array and subsequently the script breaks because the json array is no longer valid json.
Can anybody point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.
You have a JSON file containing some data.
You:
Read that data
Modify that data
Append the modified version of that data to the original file
This means the file now has the original data and then, immediately after it, a near identical copy with a little bit added.
You don't need the original. You only need the new version.
You need to write to the file instead of appending to it.
Change the 'a' flag to 'w'.
I have a network array like the following way
"network_contents": [
{
"facebook":"contents to all pages",
},
{
"twitter":"twiter contents",
},
{
"linkedin":"linked in contents",
}
]
I would like to add some keys to that array bases on its content. If it is facebook the key should be facebook, if it is twitter key should be twitter. But not sure how to do it.
My requirement is to access network array contents, but it may or may not content these facebook, twitter, linked in values. I need to access its values. When i assign a key value will be easy to fetch its contents. So i tried this way to loop through the array
message.network_contents.forEach( function (nwContent) {
if(nwContent.twitter) {
console.log('nw content', nwContent.twitter);
}
})
can i create an array in this foreach loop like the following way.
{
"data": [
{
"facebook": {
"facebook": "facebook content"
},
"twitter": {
"twitter": "twitter content"
}
}
]
}
Your help is much appreciated thanks
Implementation of what I said in the comment:
var oldsies = stuff.network_contents;
var newsies = stuff.network_contents = {};
oldsies.forEach(function(network) {
var name = Object.keys(network)[0];
newsies[name] = network;
});
You gave an example of a JS object and not a dictionary and therefore cant add key-values.
You need something like this:
var network_contents = [];
network_contents["facebook"] = {config1: {name:"config1", value:"value1"}};
network_contents["twitter"] = {config2: {name:"config2", value:"value2"}};
example:
network_contents["facebook"].config1.value; // will return "value1"
You can covert your object to a dictionary easily.
