Hi All,
I have built an app and want to configure the setup page for the same.
The setup page should take a .csv file as input and store it in apps/. The csv file is used by a python script to fetch data.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
You will need a custom js uploader to handle a csv upload via the web UI. To my knowledge this can’t be done in setup.xml and requires a custom “view” instead.
Best you can do with setup xml is have them copy and paste in the csv to a very large field.
@jkat54 Can you please explain more
I wish I could but I’ve never done it before.
You typically need something server side to handle the upload.
You can do that with a custom rest endpoint that accepts files via POST method.
You can implement the post with ajax, js, etc. on an HTML dashboard or possibly even a xml dashboard with js/Ajax/html embedded.
I do not believe you can do this with just setup.xml though. I think you will need some a custom test handler coded in python.
Are you up for the task of developing this? To be honest, I’ve tried a couple times and hit dead ends. I would love to be able to do this though.
@jkat54 Thank you! I would give it a try.
