Description

In this video I will show you how to read data from file operations with electron
I will create the data reading codes from the file using the file system codes in nodejs
I have created an example for you to better understand the subject

STEP 1

I have added one file containing the data the name of the file contacts
The data holds the information of the users
Our application will allow us to login the user using this data

STEP 2

I will design a page that request a username and password
I will print success if the Values entered are equal to the Values in the file
İf it is not equal I will write an error

Let’s start

Firstly I will show the codes I wrote

I wrote the user name and password field
and create a button and message label
I will do the codes create a page named a view.js
Define a Jquery and file system

Let’ s keep the name of the contacts file in filename

Catch the moment when button is clicked

Define username and password input

I will desşgn the button and input Bootstrap so I wrote the Bootstrap extension

So we can now capture the Values entered into the inputs
Now we read all the data in the file

Converted to utf8 format
I defined an array based on the space
Let’s write the console at thesame time
We can now return in this array

Then we split the data by comma we can Access all the information of a user
So we named each field
There are two areas as seen, the first domain represent the name and the second field represent value
Operator colon separeting these two fields
