I know using JS to read the contents of a .txt is possible.
For example, I have a text file code.txt which contains
Abc
Ghi
123466
bored
idk
And I have index.js. I would like to use the contents of code.txt to create an array into index.js.
So, in that example, I would like an array like this to appear in index.js.
const entcode = [
"Abc",
"Ghi",
"123466",
"bored",
"idk",
];
Is there a way to do that?
If you're using node.js you can use the File system api
const fs = require("fs");
let contents = fs.readFileSync("code.txt").toString().split(/\r?\n/);
console.log(contents);
Yes!
Install Deno (a JavaScript/TypeScript runtime that works outside your browser)
Read the file and create the array like this:
./index.js:
const text = (await Deno.readTextFile('./code.txt')).trim();
const entcode = text.split(/\r?\n/);
console.log(entcode);
$ deno run index.js
⚠️ ️Deno requests read access to "./code.txt". Run again with --allow-read to bypass this prompt.
Allow? [y/n (y = yes allow, n = no deny)] y
[ "Abc", "Ghi", "123466", "bored", "idk" ]
If you use jQuery you can get the data by the below code.
jQuery.get('http://localhost/code.txt', (data) => {
const res = data;
});
