How to connect .csv from index.html

Answered
Medjber asked on May 16, 2018

Hi,
I'm trying to connect a .csv file from my computer (local), by index.html.
 
Part of my code :

 var pivot = new Flexmonster({
container: "pivotContainer",
toolbar: true,
report: {
dataSource: {
filename: "file:///C:/Users/amedjber/Desktop/FlexMonster%20Trial/Pivot%20Table%20for%20CSV/client/123.csv"
},

The error I get when I try to load index.html :
Unable to open file file:///C:/Users/amedjber/Desktop/FlexMonster%20Trial/Pivot%20Table%20for%20CSV/client/123.csv?424017529.

It seems that this file doesn't exist or 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is absent in the resource requested.

Thank you, Medjber

Hello, Medjber,
Thank you for writing to us.
Browser security policy is causing this error. It doesn’t allow our component accessing the local file. We suggest putting both index.html and .csv files on the web server like http://localhost. Then set the relative path to .csv in filename property.
Does the suggested approach work for you?
Regards,
Tanya

Hi Tanya, thanks for your answear,
 
Does it mean that I have to Install Wamp ?
Or there is another way to do it without this software ?
