How can I display CSV data in the form of a table on a site without using the CMS in Webflow?
To display CSV data in the form of a table on a site without using the CMS in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
Convert the CSV file into a JSON format: Before you can display the CSV data in a table, you need to convert it into a format that can be easily manipulated and displayed on a webpage. One way to do this is by converting the CSV file to JSON format. There are various online tools and libraries available that can help with this conversion. For example, you can use csvtojson or an online converter like ConvertCSV.
Upload the JSON data to your Webflow project: Once you have converted the CSV data into JSON format, you will need to upload the JSON file to your Webflow project. You can do this by adding it to your project's assets.
Create an HTML embed element: In Webflow, you can use an HTML embed element to add custom code to your site. This will allow you to access and display the JSON data in the form of a table.
Write JavaScript code to display the table: In the HTML embed element, you can write JavaScript code to retrieve the JSON data from the uploaded file and create a table dynamically. You can use the Fetch API or AJAX to fetch the JSON data and manipulate it to generate the table structure in HTML. For each row and column in the JSON data, you can use JavaScript DOM manipulation methods to create the table elements and populate them with the corresponding data.
Style the table using CSS: Once you have created the table using JavaScript, you can style it using CSS to match the design of your website. You can apply custom styles to the table element and its child elements to control its appearance and layout.
By following these steps, you can display CSV data in the form of a table on your Webflow site without using the CMS.
