CSV for Node.js and the web
The csv project provides CSV generation, parsing, transformation and serialization
for Node.js.
It has been tested and used by a large community over the years and should be considered reliable. It provides every option you would expect from an advanced CSV parser and stringifier.
This package exposes 4 packages:
csv-generate(GitHub), a flexible generator of CSV string and Javascript objects.csv-parse(GitHub), a parser converting CSV text into arrays or objects.csv-stringify(GitHub), a stringifier converting records into a CSV text.stream-transform(GitHub), a transformation framework.
Documentation
The full documentation for the current version is available here.
Usage
Installation command is npm install csv.
Each package is fully compatible with the stream 2 and 3 specifications. Also, a simple callback-based API is always provided for convenience.
Sample
This example uses the Stream API to create a processing pipeline.
// Import the package
import * as csv from '../lib/index.js';
// Run the pipeline
csv
// Generate 20 records
.generate({
delimiter: '|',
length: 20
})
// Transform CSV data into records
.pipe(csv.parse({
delimiter: '|'
}))
// Transform each value into uppercase
.pipe(csv.transform((record) => {
return record.map((value) => {
return value.toUpperCase();
});
}))
// Convert objects into a stream
.pipe(csv.stringify({
quoted: true
}))
// Print the CSV stream to stdout
.pipe(process.stdout);
Development
