GUI Composer: How to load JSON file into project

Nick Farrell

Hello,

I am trying to create a standalone web app using GUI Composer; the program does not connect to any device. I need to read some parameters in JavaScript from a JSON file. The file is included in my project, but I have not been able to access it for parsing.

It's my understanding that I need the require() function to do this? How can I import this function and parse the JSON?

Thanks

Hi Nick,

Can you confirm which version of GC you are using (v2 or v3)?

Thanks

I believe I am using a v2 Dashboard. However, I'm not very far into my project. For this kind of web app that does not connect to any device, is it better to use v2 or v3?

hmmm... this is a tough question. v3 supports more functionality but lacks comprehensive documentation. Let me consult with the GC experts and get back to you

I believe you have already discussed this with one of the GC experts (who told you to use v3).

To Read JSON:

fetch('./myson.json').then(r => r.json()).then(myJson => console.log(myJson));
