csvtojs

NPM module to convert CSV data to an importable CommonJS module. Each row is exported as an object. The first row value is used as the object key, and the row values are object properties of the exported row.

Installation

npm install -g csvtojs

Example

sample.csv

key,version1,version2
num_builds,2,10
speed,200,10

Convert using the following command

csvtojs ./sample.csv

This will generate the following javascript in the file sample.js

module.exports = {
	num_builds: {
		version1: "2",
		version2: "10",
	},
	speed: {
		version1: "200",
		version2: "10",
	},
};

Flags

-o, --out

Specify the output JS file. Can use $0 and $1 to refer to the csv directory & csv file name without extension. Example:

jstocsv --out src/data/$1.js sample.csv

will create JS file src/data/sample.js.

-tb, --tabspace

By default csvtojs will output pretty JS with indentation through tabs. This flags lets you specify number of spaces instead of tabs to indent the JS file. Example:

jstocsv --tabspace 2 sample.csv

Will generate sample.js with 2 spaces used for indentation
