Linkoteca. JSON


The json() method of the Response interface takes a Response stream and reads it to completion. It returns a promise which resolves with the result of parsing the body text as JSON.

const myList = document.querySelector("ul");
const myRequest = new Request("products.json");

fetch(myRequest)
  .then((response) => response.json())
  .then((data) => {
    for (const product of data.products) {
      const listItem = document.createElement("li"); 
      listItem.appendChild(document.createElement("strong")).textContent = product.Name; 
      listItem.append(` can be found in ${product.Location}. Cost: `); 
      listItem.appendChild(document.createElement("strong")).textContent = `£${product.Price}`; 
      myList.appendChild(listItem);
    }
  })
  .catch(console.error);

First I take the whole CSV file and split it into an array of lines. Then, I take the first line, which should be the headers, and split that by a comma into an array. Then, I loop through all the lines (skipping the first one) and inside, I loop through the headers and assign the values from each line to the proper object parameters. At this point, you probably want to just return the JavaScript object, but you can also JSON.stringify the result and return the JSON object.
