Getting datas from HTML - JS console : ReferenceError: document is not defined
medarezki opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I'm trying to get some datas presented in an .html document from a .js file in a document.getElementById('') way but it didn't work.
The JS Console outputs the following error (ReferenceError) : document is not defined
(Remark: the Object is displayed on its default state, it shows "Text" instead of the innerHTML )
Taking this following example
JS side
//JS file (JavaScriptFile.js) - Displaying a text in World
"use strict"
function main() {
/*Something like :
var value= document.getElementById('thisone').innerHTML;*/
let actor = new TextRenderActor(GWorld,{X:100,Y:100,Z:100},{Yaw:0})
actor.TextRender.SetHorizontalAlignment('EHTA_Center')
actor.TextRender.SetText(value) //Use it here
return function () {
actor.DestroyActor()
}
}
try {
module.exports = () => {
let cleanup = null
process.nextTick(() => cleanup = main());
return () => cleanup()
}
}
catch (e) {
require('bootstrap')('JavaScriptFile')
}
HTML side
<!--HTML File (HTMLfile.html)-->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="./JavaScriptFile.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="thisone">ThisTextValue</div>
</body>
</html>
Is there a way (or a possibility by Node or other) to link the HTML and JS files to get the datas that can be manipulated in Unreal World ?
Thanks.
With document.getElementById('') there will be a ReferenceError, the object refers to a undefined variable, hence, an exception is thrown.
One of the solutions is to use Node's file system module to R/W files.
//Accessing physical file system
const fs = require('fs');
// Reading the file (Synchronous function)
/* const data = fs.readFileSync(file, char encoding); */
const data = fs.readFileSync('./whereDatasAreStored.txt', { encoding: 'utf8', flag: 'r' });
Starting from this basic example, we can work with other file extensions (txt, csv, et cetera).
Note : Node.js Should be installed
