Can a FE only app (React/NextJS) read CSV from a user without submitting to a backend?
Based on my knowledge, this isn't possible, but I thought I'd ask as FE advances faster than I (a backend dominant full-stack) can keep up with.
Is it possible for me to create a mini app, using something like NextJS, to take a file a user submits and do some work based on it? If it matters, I want to take the data to fill a template (create name tags with barcodes). Best as I know and have been able to google, a NextJS app can read something out of public, but I haven't seen anything about reading something straight from the user, without first submitting to a backend.
