Plugin is not working in vue js

[sadashivm]

Hello, Im trying to read/write json file, but it is not working, Im getting below error.

I Kept data.json same path where App.vue is exist.

jsonfile is not for use in the browser; only in Node or Electron.

Thanks for the reply @RyanZim ,

I'm using this plugin with Electron only. I got the below error,

Here is my code,

NOTE: Book.js and data.json files are in the same folder and I have used react js for coding.

OK, what bundler are you using? Webpack? Does importing fs directly and using writeFile work?

Can I use ur plugin in development mode? Will it work?

Can you please tel steps to how to use ur npm package with electron and reactjs ?

Ah, you're using react-scripts, which uses webpack under the hood.

Comment out your usage of jsonfile, and put this somewhere in your code:

import fs from 'fs';
fs.writeFile('test.txt', 'Hello World!', (err) => {
  if (err) console.error(err);
});

Run your app, see if you get an error, and if the file test.txt is created with contents Hello World!. Let me know what happens; then we can debug from there.
