Usage

Listen for a JSON file to be uploaded to Flatfile. The platform will then extract the file automatically. Once complete, the file will be ready for import in the Files area.

npm i @flatfile/plugin-json-extractor

import { JSONExtractor } from "@flatfile/plugin-json-extractor";

listener.use(JSONExtractor());

Full Example

In this example, the JSONExtractor is initialized, and then registered as middleware with the Flatfile listener. When a JSON file is uploaded, the plugin will extract the structured data and process it the extractor's parser.

import { JSONExtractor } from "@flatfile/plugin-json-extractor";

// Initialize the JSON extractor
const jsonExtractor = JSONExtractor();

// Register the extractor as a middleware for the Flatfile listener
listener.use(jsonExtractor);

// When a JSON file is uploaded, the data will be extracted and processed using the extractor's parser.
