csv-parser

This module contains functions for writing new .csv file or parsing existing .csv file.

Using

Firstly you should clone this repository in your application using git clone command.

git clone https://github.com/NikitaKemarskiy/csv-parser.git

Then you should require it in your application. This module is an object with two methods: "parseCSV" for parsing existing .csv file to array and "toCSV" for creating a value to write a new .csv file.

const csvParser = require('./csv-parser'); // Require csv-parser package
const fs = require('fs'); // Require file stream module to read / write .csv files

const filePath = 'cars.csv'; // Path to your .csv file 
const cars = [ // Array of arrays which contains table data to write it in .csv file
	[1997, 'Ford', 'E350', 'Hello, "Daydreamin"', 3000.00, true],
	[1999, 'Chevy', "Venture «Extended Edition»", "", 4900.00, false],
	[1996, 'Jeep', 'Grand Cherokee', "MUST SELL! air, moon roof, loaded", 4799.00, false]
];

// Writing to .csv file
const csv = csvParser.toCSV(cars);
fs.writeFile(filePath, csv, function(error) {
	if (error) {
		console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`);
	} else {
		console.log(`${filePath} was successfully written`);
	}
});

// Reading existing .csv file
fs.readFile(filePath, function(error, data) {
	if (error) {
		console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`);
	} else {
		const csv = csvParser.parseCSV(data);
		console.log(csv);
	}
});
