Thanks Halvdan. Since that is the case, I am going to locally process the
files.

Re: [Dhis2-devs] Read fileResource data directly

2016-06-02 Thread Halvdan Hoem Grelland 
To answer the original question: no, currently fileResource is only used as
a backend for storing file content with DataValues. Extending it to more
generic file store use cases is on the horizon, but it's yet to be
specified on the roadmap, unfortunately.

 4. Save only the selected data(rows) to the database. (In DHIS, saving
 to the data store)
 5. Delete tmp.csv

 So what I really need is to do the same thing in step 1 above using the
 DHIS Web api.

 Thanks.

Yeah, I think it's fairly recent.. if you don't have to support every

Didn't know about the FileReader API till now. Thanks for the information.
I had the thought that browsers block local file read. Thanks a lot.

 Is there a way to read the content of a fileResource without
 linking the resource to a dataValue.

 example scenario :

 Upload a CSV which contains some arbitrary data and read it
 immediately. I won't need these data after the first read.

Re: [Dhis2-devs] Read fileResource data directly

Hi Morten,

Thanks. Just the selected rows from the CSV are going to be stored in the
data store. But to do so, first I need to show the content of the CSV to
the user (graphically). So I have to read the content of the CSV first.

If I am going to do it in one of my own web app, what I will do is,

1. Upload the CSV to server temporary.(say tmp.csv) (I need a solution for
this step in the DHIS context)
2. Read back the uploaded CSV(tmp.csv) show it to the user. (draw a chart
in my case)
3. Allow the user to select the required data.
4. Save only the selected data(rows) to the database. (In DHIS, saving to
the data store)
5. Delete tmp.csv

So what I really need is to do the same thing in step 1 above using the
DHIS Web api.

Thanks.

Did you have a look at the data store API? [1], you could also use the user
setting API to store it (if its small enough) [2]

Re: [Dhis2-devs] Read fileResource data directly

Yes, display in a chart as a preview. Part of the data(selected rows) will
be then saved as an attribute in a custom object. Custom object will then
be persisted to the system. So there is no need of retrieving data from
this fileSource later.

 Hi devs,

 Is there a way to read the content of a fileResource without linking
 the resource to a dataValue.

 example scenario :

 Upload a CSV which contains some arbitrary data and read it
 immediately. I won't need these data after the first read.

 Regards,
 Chathura

Sure, but what is it you want to do with this after retrieving? Display it
