Save txt file

Hi all, I should save query data in a txt file on file system, is it possible to do this using node.js backend?

For NodeJS people:

NodeJS Extension to Create/Write/Append Files

Create a file or write to a file using custom encoding and custom flags. I documented how to use the extension in the GitHub repo.

For PHP people:

Server Side Read & Write File

Hi , During project development, I wanted to create a TXT file and add a log to this file. Thanks to Wappler’s expandable feature, it was quite good to prepare it in my own way and use it the way I want. Now I can create a file as I want and add the logs I want to it. I thought that instead of writing the logs on your site to the database, you might want to write them in a txt file or a file with the extension you want. Write To File It is very simple to use, I am sure you will see how simpl…

The data query object must be JSON encoded (there’s a formatter, not sure if it’s in the UI) so it becomes a string, and that can be written to a file

Thanks for the reply, I didn’t quite understand where the module should be installed.
The readme file says to copy it to the /extensions/server_connect/modules folder but it doesn’t exist in my project.

Indeed, you need to create the folder, it’s not pre-created by default unfortunately

Thanks, everything works fine

Hi Apple, a question, but is it possible to save the file outside the project directory?
For example on a network folder?
I’m trying to give a path different from that of an internal folder but it always generates an error

@enriweb77

is it possible to save the file outside the project directory?

Looking at the code:

tbvgl/Wappler-Node-JS-Extension---Create-Write-Append-File/blob/3de61aec26836029cf1de0189539ac3fc941b44b/modules/ReadWriteFile.js#L9

It seems the folder is converted to the project folder (or something like that?), so you’ll probably need to change that line to:

let path = options.path
