Can someone please guide me how to get the data from a text file in react js? Usually the data extracted from the API is in JSON format but this time I want to render the data that is in .txt file format.

for you to display a doc text like o told me using simple html and css you can use this exemple:

$(document).ready(function() {
 $(".word").fancybox({
  'width': 600, // or whatever
  'height': 320,
  'type': 'iframe'
 });
}); //  ready 
<a class="word" href="//docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.picssel.com/demos/downloads/Fancybox.doc&embedded=true">Open a Word document in Fancybox</a>

  • you really have to work white txt? why not json? – NoobDEV-GBL Aug 02 '21 at 16:50
  • Yes, I have to work with text file as the data available to me is in text format. Is there any possibility to do it successfully? – xiang Aug 02 '21 at 16:59
  • so the error has now gone with the help of { mode: "no-cors" } but i am getting "undefined". – xiang Aug 02 '21 at 17:01

  • @xiang i have added a link for working code, i hope it helps – NoobDEV-GBL Aug 02 '21 at 17:16
  • that is ok but we won't be able to play around with that as we can with the JSON data. I mean, like this can we able to show some of the text at some place in the browser and skip the rest just like we do with the JSON data? I hope you understood what i mean? – xiang Aug 02 '21 at 17:48
