upload csv file into grid

Question

User-2051535749 posted

Is there a way to upload a file that has 2 columns and output the data right into the grid without saving the file to a folder or database table? 

The file has ID and Location in it, that's it, and could be from 1 row to 10,000 rows. I want to upload that data into my grid that has an ID and Location columns. I'd like to do this client side if at all possible

You may want to consider looking into the FileReader API to accomplish this. The basic idea behind that is that you can read files within a file input (including the content within them) on a certain event (i.e. upload a file, read the content you need from it, update the UI accordingly)

You can find an example with various use-cases of the API (including reading files on the client) here.
