Read JSON File into HTML with JavaScript Fetch API

[@ankitpatil8568]

I searched the entire internet to solve this problem, but the solution was as simple as turning on live server. Thank You!

[@НадеждаГришко-т8ъ]

This is the only video out of 30 watched that helped me solve the problem! Why hasn't anyone talked about a live server before? And everything turned out to be so simple. Thanks a lot to the author!

How much do you get paid to write fake replies? Just curious...

Hi, mastering JavaScript is critical if you want to be a modern, professional developer: www.udemy.com/course/professional-javascript-course/?referralCode=0C1D5752923168BC87C2
Also, if you are a front-end developer then mastering CSS (including Flexbox, CSS Grid, etc.) is equally important: www.udemy.com/course/professional-css/?referralCode=4C3C08E82629E6B15752

Why would I be getting the error "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: data.forEach is not a function". My code is exactly as the video, except my data is from a live API link. I'm using FireFox as a Web Browser.

If the data item is in the form of HTML Collection then it displays this error. Convert the HTML collection to Array by using Array.from() method then apply forEach method.

I have tried writing form data to a json file, but never was successful. Even using this author's tutorial to do it. Why doesnt anyone teach real world examples like reading and writing to a local json file?

[@maisserhan]

how can add new object in json

[@vidyays6161]

Hey how can I show the api data on screen in a check box. once user selects teh check box it should insert in database

[@vidyays6161]

Anybody knows pls help me to do that

[@SoIam-eb4sf]

no....... Hey what i want is get json data as JS without using copy of json file . What I want is to use API From website and use online web page data on my web page.

[@VidhyaShreeK-d8l]

thank you sir

[@gappuma7883]

Do you know if it's a good practice to read directly from a Json file stored on the server or should i put it in a database for security reasons. Or is there a way to store it securely?

[@danielogbonna6393]

Put it in a database

Thank you bossman

I keep getting this error "TypeError: data.foreach is not a function" can you please help?

const listEL = document.querySelector('ul');
fetch('./messages.json')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => {
console.log(data);
/*data = JSON.parse(data);*/
data.foreach(post =>{
listEL.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend',`${post.sender_name}`);
});
/*listEL.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend',`test`);*/
});

[@PranavIngale-z2b]

i am getting values as undefined

[@Felipekimst]

hii! do you know why is my res.json() request returning a forever pending status request?? it doesnt reject nor resolve, so the .then and .catch aren't being triggered

[@ByteGrad]

Hi, sorry I don’t have the time to give you a good answer. I highly recommend going through my Professional JavaScript course - these things will become easy to solve

[@Felipekimst]

@@ByteGradthanks for replying, bro! I managed to fix the problem, turns out the json file had a syntax error but for some reason I don't know, it didn't throw an error lol but everything is okay now haha

[@cimmik]

Why does the live server solve the CORS error?

[@ByteGrad]

I think you just need any server to serve the JSON-file. In local development here we create one with the Live-Server extension. Probably because it can be insecure to allow local files to be fetched, so you need to explicitly serve it from a server. That's why the error mentions it supports and schemes but not file://.

[@cimmik]

@@ByteGrad Interesting and thanks for the response. I'm tinkering on how I can automate some of my tasks at my workplace by making a web app to read a JSON file instead of manually working in large excel sheets. My workplace's file system is connected to a cloud. I don't know if there's an API available that could give my app access to the file system

[@klaasvanamsterdam3061]

First, I get only ${post.title} rows, but later i see, must use the template marks there. Thanks!

[@ByteGrad]

Are you using backticks instead of quotation marks?

[@klaasvanamsterdam3061]

@@ByteGrad Yes, I used the wrong marks. It wasn't until I found out about a "template" insert that I understood as a beginner what I was doing wrong. Thanks again for all the tutorials.

Hi! i don't speack english, so sorry!
But, i have a qustion
in the next code:
function obtenerEmpleados() {
const archivo = './empleados.json'
fetch(archivo)
.then(resultado => {
console.log(resultado)
})
}
obtenerEmpleados();
i get a status: 404 in the console

"puesto": "Diseñadora"
},
{
"id": 4,
"nombre": "Junior",
"puesto": "Jefe de Área"
}
]
}
Help me, please!

[@ByteGrad]

Hi, 404 means it can’t find that file. Is that file in another folder?

[@juniorpaez2654]

@@ByteGrad No, I have in the same folder

[@ByteGrad]

You could try writing the exact same as me in the video (including semicolons), make sure it works and then change it with your own JSON data
