JSPM – node-csv@0.1.2

Package Exports

node-csv

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

Readme

A CSV parser for node.js

To install node-csv, use npm:

$ npm install node-csv

Usage

var csv = require('node-csv').createParser();

var csv_str = "1,2,3\n4,5,6";

csv.parse(csv_str, function(err, data) {

    console.log(data); //Outputs: [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
    
});

// or

csv.parseFile('./test.csv', function(err, data) {
    console.log(data);
});

createParser() takes 3 optional params - delimiter, quote_char, quote_escape

E.g. to parse tab separated values where fields are wrapped with quotes (") and quotes are escaped with "

var csv = require('node-csv').createParser('\t', '"', '\\');

node-csv can also convert each row to an object based on the column names in the first row, e.g.

test.csv

id,user,pass
1,foo,bar

parse.js

var csv = require('node-csv').createParser();

csv.mapFile('./test.csv', function(err, data) {

    console.log(data); //Outputs: [ { id: '1', user: 'foo', pass: 'bar' } ]
    
});
