Unexpected Number : Syntax Error in csv-parser module on Node.js on loading CSV File

Question

I am getting a Syntax Error Whilst Reading a CSV file with FS module and csv-parser.

When I do the same process without using it in a REST API, it works just fine, even console.logs to the screen.

The error came about when I was sending the data over the network in a REST API.

Find the Screenshots attached.

According to the documentation of createReadStream, it expects the path to the file rather than the file itself.

Hence, on line 7, change it to :

const dataPath = path.resolve(__dirname, './data/metering_data.csv);

And then read the file using createReadStream as fs.createReadStream(dataPath);

Make sure you've imported the path module at the start of your file as following:

var path = require('path')
