如何在JavaScript中读取配置文件（.properties）中的信息？

Question

In my code, I need to get data from configuration file(.properties) .My configuration file looks something like this(.properties):

maxTime = 60
upVotePostMaxTime=60

but I don't know how to read the configuration file in JavaScript. Is there a better way of doing this?

Answer 1

It is not advisable to read configuration files from JavaScript. Instead you could do this:

1. Read the file on server-side (using PHP, .Net or Python or any other language that you prefer)

2. Render the valid values to JavaScript. Something like:

   var maxTime = "<?php echo maxTime; ?>";

   var upVotePostMaxTime = "<?php echo upVotePostMaxTime; ?>";

where <?php echo maxTime; ?> <?php echo maxTime; ?> and <?php echo upVotePostMaxTime; ?> <?php echo upVotePostMaxTime; ?> will have values 60 each. This would show on the client-side as:

var maxTime = "60";
var upVotePostMaxTime = "60";

and then you may use it in JavaScript.

Values are assigned in double quotes to prevent breaking of JavaScript code in case null values are sent from the server.

Please ensure that proper values are assigned to JavaScript variables.
