javascript - How to use a csv file with the google chart API?

Question

I have a csv file with that :

Site,Janvier,Février,Mars,Avril,Mai,Juin,Juillet,Ao?t,Septembre,Octobre,Novembre,Décembre CITROEN VILLEFRANCHE CARROSSERIE,0,0,14,0,18,21,0,0,0,0,0,0 CITROEN VILLEFRANCHE ,240,237,230,264,219,285,219,130,4,0,0,0 NISSAN VILLEFRANCHE ,174,202,215,181,196,244,203,107,10,1,0,0

I would like to see its data in a column chart.

But i do not know how to read the data of a csv with the API. Here is an example of a column chart with the API :

google.charts.load("current", {packages:['corechart']});
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
  var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
    ["Element", "Density", { role: "style" } ],
    ["Copper", 8.94, "#b87333"],
    ["Silver", 10.49, "silver"],
    ["Gold", 19.30, "gold"],
    ["Platinum", 21.45, "color: #e5e4e2"]
  ]);

  var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
  view.setColumns([0, 1,
                   { calc: "stringify",
                     sourceColumn: 1,
                     type: "string",
                     role: "annotation" },
                   2]);

  var options = {
    title: "Density of Precious Metals, in g/cm^3",
    width: 600,
    height: 400,
    bar: {groupWidth: "95%"},
    legend: { position: "none" },
  };
  var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById("columnchart_values"));
  chart.draw(view, options);

How to change the data load to use a csv file ?

Answer 1

you can use jquery.csv to parse the csv

google.charts.load('current', {
  callback: function () {
    $.get("file_name.csv", function(csvString) {
      var arrayData = $.csv.toArrays(csvString, {onParseValue: $.csv.hooks.castToScalar});

      var data = new google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(arrayData);

      var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
      chart.draw(data);
    });
  },
  packages: ['corechart']
});

see following working snippet with static data

google.charts.load('current', {
  callback: function () {
    csvString = 'Site,Janvier,Février,Mars,Avril,Mai,Juin,Juillet,Ao?t,Septembre,Octobre,Novembre,Décembre
CITROEN VILLEFRANCHE CARROSSERIE,0,0,14,0,18,21,0,0,0,0,0,0
CITROEN VILLEFRANCHE ,240,237,230,264,219,285,219,130,4,0,0,0
NISSAN VILLEFRANCHE ,174,202,215,181,196,244,203,107,10,1,0,0';

    var arrayData = $.csv.toArrays(csvString, {onParseValue: $.csv.hooks.castToScalar});

    var data = new google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(arrayData);
    
    var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
    chart.draw(data);
  },
  packages: ['corechart']
});
