Example from CSV

CSV files are often used so website-owners can upload data from another system. This example shows us getting the CSV-file through a query and visualizing it here.



@{
  // get the query
  var query = App.Query["ProductsFromCSV"];

  // get the data from the query
  var products = AsList(query);

  // get the current author (if available) from the stream Current
  var current = AsList(query["Current"]).FirstOrDefault();
}
<ul>
  @foreach(var product in products) {
    <!-- this li will have class=selected if it's the current one -->
    <li class='@(product == current ? "selected" : "")'>
      <!-- this creates a link to the current tutorial (data220) and product=id -->
      <a href='@Link.To(parameters: "data230=true&product=" + product.EntityId)'>
        @product.Name (#@product.Id)
      </a>
      @if(current == product) {
        <br>
        <em>
          @current.Description 
          (<a href="@product.Link" target="_blank">find out more</a>)
        </em>
      }
    </li>
  }
</ul>
