6739 :: Best way to parse CSV data with the JS backend

• halloleo (orginal) [2020-08-28T04:54:04+02:00] view original

  I have CSVs which I can access via some URLs. What is the best way to parse them in the Browser with the JS backend?

  I tried to read them from the URL into a stream, but the streams module does not seem to work under JS. Why? Nothing OS-specific here...

  streams is partially implemented for JS in the Nim development version, future version 1.4, and the implemented features are enough for parsecsv to compile in JS. So use the current Nim development version or wait for the 1.4 release.

  That's great. Would like to try it out.

  To use the current dev version would the Nightly build on 2020-08-28 for branch devel (e.g. https://github.com/nim-lang/nightlies/releases/download/2020-08-28-devel-fb58066b61b14f4a1d6cdb0f4a8f0a9ea4174d82/nim-1.3.5-linux_x64.tar.xz) do?

  Just double checking: The nightly says it is version 1.3.5, but @Hlaaftana mentioned version1.4...

  1.4 will be a stable release with this feature included.

  Got it. Makes sense. Will try 1.3.5 then.
