Nested objects and arrays
When dealing with nested objects or arrays the output follows these rules:
- For a nested object an underscore seperates the parents from children.
- For arrays an underscore seperates the index of the item from the property name.
- Any data that is not found will be marked as undefined.
var data = [
{
"name" : "Montana",
"age" : 27,
"location" : {
"current" : "San Francisco",
"previous" : ["San Diego", "Newport Beach", "Mammoth Mountain"]
}
},
{
"name" : "Will",
"age" : 25,
"location" : {
"current" : "New Orleans",
"previous" : ["Orange County", "Coos Bay"]
}
}
]
console.log(aoot.csv(data))
// name,age,location_current,location_previous_0,location_previous_1,location_previous_2
// Montana,27,San Francisco,San Diego,Newport Beach,Mammoth Mountain
// Will,25,New Orleans,Orange County,Coos Bay,undefined
