Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

##Installation Global

npm install -g csv-converter

Locally

npm install csv-converter ##Usage

 $ csv --help

   Usage: csv [options]

   Options:
     -h, --help                       Output usage information
     -V, --version                    Output the version number
     -i, --inputCSVFile [path]        Path to the CSV file you would like to convert to JSON
     -p, --parsingModule [module]     A module that will contain parsing logic for your JSON object
     
    Examples:
     $ csv -h
     $ csv --help

##Examples

 Global - without parsingModule
 $ csv -i examples/employees.csv -i [pathToFile]
 
 Global - with parsingModule
 $ csv -i examples/employees.csv -i [pathToFile] - p [parsingModule]
 
 
 Local - without parsingModule
 $ node_modules/csv/bin/csv.js -i [pathToFile]
 
 Local - with parsingModule
 $ node_modules/csv/bin/csv.js -i [pathToFile] - p [parsingModule]

##Parsing Module Most of the time you don't want "Company Name" as a property. You just want "company." Example json below.

{
   "Company Name": "Best Buy"
}
{
   "company": "Best Buy"
}

There are also other flags with just converting csv files. Like what about omitting rows, and munipulating data, or adding concat rows. This is where the parsing module comes into the play.

The parsing module passes through each row in a loop until the stream is complete. Meaning you can return any new object based off the information given to you through the param.

###Examples Parsing Module

/**
 * Parsing Module
 * Each parsing module must export a function
 * with a paramter. The paramter will contain each
 * object that will be included in your JSON file.
 * 
 * For understanding console log row
 */
module.exports = function(row) {
  
  /**
   * This example 
   * Takes the employees.csv file on the root
   * and only take two key values from the csv and creates
   * a JSON object only from that.
   * 
   * For understanding console log conversion
   */
  var conversion = {};

  conversion.name = row['Employee Name'];
  conversion.album = row['Best Album'];

  /**
   * Validation
   *
   * If you don't want something to make it the JSON file
   * return false, and that row will omitted
   */
  if(conversion.name == 'West, Kanye') return false;
 
  /**
   * What ever object the object you return
   * will be placed in the JSON file
   */
  return conversion;
  // return false;

};
