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

CSV stringifier for Node.js and the web

Build Status NPM NPM

The csv-stringify package is a stringifier converting records into a CSV text and implementing the Node.js stream.Transform API. It also provides the easier synchronous and callback-based APIs for conveniency. It is both extremely easy to use and powerful. It was first released in 2010 and is tested against big data sets by a large community.

Documentation

Main features

  • Follow the Node.js streaming API
  • Simplicity with the optional callback API
  • Support for custom formatters, delimiters, quotes, escape characters and header
  • Support big datasets
  • Complete test coverage and samples for inspiration
  • Only 1 external dependency
  • to be used conjointly with csv-generate, csv-parse and stream-transform
  • MIT License

Usage

Run npm install csv to install the full CSV module or run npm install csv-stringify if you are only interested by the CSV stringifier.

The module is built on the Node.js Stream API. Use the callback and sync APIs for simplicity or the stream based API for scalability.

Example

The API is available in multiple flavors. This example illustrates the sync API.

import { stringify } from 'csv-stringify/sync';
import assert from 'assert';

const output = stringify([
  [ '1', '2', '3', '4' ],
  [ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' ]
]);

assert.equal(output, '1,2,3,4\na,b,c,d\n');

Development

Tests are executed with mocha. To install it, run npm install followed by npm test. It will install mocha and its dependencies in your project "node_modules" directory and run the test suite. The tests run against the CoffeeScript source files.

To generate the JavaScript files, run npm run build.

The test suite is run online with Travis. See the Travis definition file to view the tested Node.js version.
