External Data

Values in a wiki page

The following example shows the values of a wiki page with csv extension.

Create the page. In this wiki, we created Manual:Extension/External Data/example components.csv. It contains comma-separated values:
```
component,type,weight
Valve,mechanical,1.2
Sensor,electronic,0.3
Pump,mechanical,4.5
```
On another wiki page, insert this parser function #for_external_table

{{#for_external_table:<nowiki/>
* {{{component}}} – {{{type}}}, {{{weight}}} kg
| source=web
| url={{fullurl:Manual:Extension/External Data/example components.csv|action=raw}}
| format=csv
| data=component=component, type=type, weight=weight
}}

The output is:

Valve – mechanical, 1.2 kg
Sensor – electronic, 0.3 kg
Pump – mechanical, 4.5 kg
