onCompleteevent
Use NPM or Yarn to install the SDK for React or JavaScript.
NPM
npm install csv-import-react
# or
npm install csv-import-jsYarn
yarn add csv-import-react
# or
yarn add csv-import-jsimport { CSVImporter } from "csv-import-react";
import { useState } from "react";
function MyComponent() {
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);
return (

const importer = CSVImporter.createCSVImporter({
domElement: document.getElementById("app"),

darkMode: true,

],
},
});
const uploadButton = document.getElementById("uploadButton");
uploadButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
importer?.showModal();
});
</script>
</body>When set to true (default value), the importer will behave as a modal with its open state controlled by modalIsOpen. When set to false, the importer will be embedded directly in your page.
Only used when isModal is true: Controls the importer modal being open or closed.
React SDK Only: For the JavaScript SDK, use .showModal() and .closeModal() to operate the modal.
Only used when isModal is true: A function called when the user clicks the close button or clicks outside of (when used with modalCloseOnOutsideClick) the importer. useState can be used to control the importer modal opening and closing.
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);<button onClick={() => setIsOpen(true)}>Open CSV Importer</button>
<CSVImporter
modalIsOpen={isOpen}
modalOnCloseTriggered={() => setIsOpen(false)}
...
/>Only used when isModal is true: Clicking outside the modal will call the modalOnCloseTriggered function.
Configure the columns used for the import.
