JavaScript fs.readFile
Hi.
My name is Ajay and I am learning JavaScript using Repl.it.
When I use the code below I receive the error that 'fs.readFile' is NOT a function. Does anyone know how to use this function within repl.it?
import fs from 'fs'; let ourStuff = fs.readFile('G:\DATA\git\ipromise\ipromise.txt','utf8', callback); console.log(ourStuff);
That shouldn't happen if you're using node.js. could you link is to a repl, just to go through what exactly you're trying to do?
import fs from 'fs';Try using
const fs = require ('fs');If it still doesn't work, try adding it using the package manager.
node v10.15.2 linux/amd64 evalmachine.<anonymous>:1 import fs from 'fs'; ^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier at new Script (vm.js:79:7) at createScript (vm.js:251:10) at Object.runInContext (vm.js:284:10) at evaluate (/run_dir/repl.js:133:14) at ReadStream.<anonymous> (/run_dir/repl.js:116:5) at ReadStream.emit (events.js:189:13) at addChunk (_stream_readable.js:284:12) at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:265:11) at ReadStream.Readable.push (_stream_readable.js:220:10) at lazyFs.read (internal/fs/streams.js:181:12)
const fs = require ('fs'); which is the traditional JavaScript syntax instead of the new import statement that is not supported everywhere.I took your advice and modified the code to be more readable.
// Requiring fs module in which // readFile function is defined. const fs = require('fs'); // Reading data in utf-8 format // which is a type of character set. // Instead of 'utf-8' it can be // other character set also like 'ascii' fs.readFile('G:\\DATA\\git\\ipromise\\ipromise.txt', 'utf-8', (err, data) => { if (err) throw err; // Converting Raw Buffer to text // data using tostring function. console.log('#################'); console.log(data); })
I believe your comment regarding the first "const" line fixed a portion of it and I was also erroring on the fact that I need double backslashes "\" instead of single as singles were getting interpreted as escape sequences.
When I run the updated code on REPL.IT, it runs error free but with no output.
When I run the code locally using Node, it runs successfully with the expected output.
Is this normal? Security related?
