Hi,
We were trying to load 300 mb csv directly into the browser using Flexmonster by specifying it in the filename property in the data source and getting error "The file is too large and cannot be loaded completely due to the browser limitations". This setup was working in old version. Has something got changed in the new build?
dataSource: {
type: "csv",
filename: "https://example.com/api/data"
}
Thanks,
Varun

Hello, Varun!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Kindly note that CSV files larger than 256 MB are not fully loaded in Chrome due to browser limitations. One of our clients noticed this behavior a while ago, and we subsequently added a pop-up message to inform users when the loaded data is incomplete. Please rest assured that Flexmonster's data-loading functionality has not changed.
As a possible workaround, we recommend trying the JSON array of arrays approach with dataSource.useStreamLoader property enabled. Please find more details by the link: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/typical-errors/#chrome-large-data-error
Hope you will find our answer helpful.
Kind regards,

It seems that loading data gets paused when i push result with streamloader if I switch to another screen, while it works seamlessly if I keep cursor on the screen. How can we fix it?
