This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (csv-stringify) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
This package is a stringifier converting records into a CSV text and implementing the
Node.js stream.Transform
API. It also provides the easier synchronous and
callback-based APIs for conveniency. It is both extremely easy to use and
powerful. It was first released in 2010 and is tested against big data
sets by a large community.

Usage
The module is built on the Node.js Stream API. For the sake of simplicity, a simple callback API is also provided. To give you a quick look, here's an example of the callback API:
var stringify = require('csv-stringify');
input = [ [ '1', '2', '3', '4' ], [ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' ] ];
stringify(input, function(err, output){
output.should.eql('1,2,3,4\na,b,c,d\n');
});
Development
Tests are executed with mocha. To install it, run npm install
followed by npm test
. It will install mocha and its dependencies in your
project "node_modules" directory and run the test suite. The tests run
against the CoffeeScript source files.
To generate the JavaScript files, run npm run coffee
.
The test suite is run online with Travis. See the Travis definition file to view the tested Node.js version.
