Package Exports

json2csv

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 (json2csv) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Convert json to csv

The module converts json into csv with column titles. It is the perfect partner for MongoDB and it works similar to mongoexport but in node.js. The code is written in CoffeeScript.

How to use

Include the module and run

json2csv = require('json2csv');
json2csv.parse({data: someJSONData, fields: ['field1', 'field2', 'field3']});

Example

Example 1

var json2csv = require('json2csv');

var json = [
  {
    "car": "Audi",
    "price": 40000,
    "color": "blue"
  }, {
    "car": "BMW",
    "price": 35000,
    "color": "black"
  }, {
    "car": "Porsche",
    "price": 60000,
    "color": "green"
  }
];

var csv = json2csv.parse({
  data: json,
  fields: ['car', 'price', 'color']
});

fs.writeFile('file.csv', csv, function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('file saved');
});

The content of the "file.csv" should be

car, price, color
Audi, 40000, blue
BMW, 35000, black
Porsche, 60000, green

Example 2

Similarly to mongoexport you can choose which fields to export

var csv = json2csv.parse({      
  data: json
  fields: ['car', 'color']
})

Should result in

car, color
Audi, blue
BMW, black
Porsche, green

Testing
