Overview

import {CSVWriter} from '@funkybob/csv';

const csv = CSVWriter(fields, [options])

• fields: list of field keys

• options:

  • headers: list of header labels for the fields (Defaults to fields)
  • SEP : field separator (Default: ',')
  • QUOTE : field quoting character (Default: '"')
  • LINEBREAK : record separator (Default: '\n')
  • ESCQUOTE : what to replace QUOTEs in values with (Default: '""')

  csv.write(Array)

  • write list of values

    Note: this ignores fields, and writes all the values to a row.

  csv.write_map(Object)

  • write values from object according to fields.

  csv.write_headers()

  • write headers as a row.

Usage

Simple list of values:

const data = [
    [1, 'one'],
    [2, 'two'], 
    [3, 'three']
]

const csv = CSVWriter(['first', 'second'])

const csvContent = data.map(csv.write).join('')

List of objects:

const data = [
    {name: 'one', value: 1},
    {name: 'two', value: 2},
    {name: 'three', value: 3}
]

const csv = CSVWriter(['name', 'value'])

const csvContent = data.map(csv.write_map).join('')

Add headers:

const data = [
    {name: 'one', value: 1},
    {name: 'two', value: 2},
    {name: 'three', value: 3}
]

const csv = CSVWriter(['name', 'value'], ['First', 'Second'])

const csvContent = csv.write_headers() + data.map(csv.write_map).join('')
