Results

When the file has been loaded, it will be parsed with PapaParse from a CSV formatted text to a matrix of strings or a list of objects (using header option). That matrix is returned to the parent component with onFileLoaded function (it will be passed as an argument). The second argument to onFileLoaded will be the filename provided
