How to Load and Read a Local Text File

Help & Support
1

I seem to have no problem loading files remotely, but when it comes to getting them locally from the assets folder inside the project I have trouble. My code:

return fetch("myLocalFile.csv")
        .then(response => response.text())
        .then(data => console.log("Data is:"+data));

but it just returns:
Data is: <html
400 Bad Request

I tried this too:

this.local_file = this.app.assets.find("myLocalFile.csv");

    return fetch(this.local_file)
        .then(response => response.text())
        .then(data => console.log("Data is:"+data));

The local file exists within my assets and is not set to be excluded.

I initially had the file uploaded as a binary but later changed it to type ‘text’. However, I get the same errors.

In the end the solution was to use:
this.local_file = this.app.assets.find("myLocalFile.csv").resource;
