API

csvToNdjson(input, [options])

path

Type: string

Path of the CSV file to be read. The file has to end with the .csv file extension.

options

destination

Type: string

When destination exists on the options object, the results of the transformation are persisted in a file. When a destination is specified the function doesn't return a readable stream but a promise when the file is written.

delimiter

Type: char Default: ,

If the CSV uses ; delimiter instead of , then this needs to be declared explicitly in the options object.

header

Type: String[]

When you want to use custom attribute names and not the headers of the CSV file as attribute names, then you can specify an array of attribute names.
