🎀 CSVDownloader

Just pass in the js object with an optional configuration ( setting delimiter / separator ).

Note: If you want to open your CSV files in Excel, you might want to set bom={true} or bom, default is false. This option adds the so called BOM byte '\ufeff' to the beginning of your CSV files and tells Excel that the encoding is UTF8.

Data as a Function/Callback

data={} can be a function that returns a data object.

import React from 'react';

import { useCSVDownloader } from 'react-papaparse';

export default function CSVDownloader() {
  const { CSVDownloader } = useCSVDownloader();

  return (
    <CSVDownloader
      filename={'filename'}
      data={() => {
        return [
          {
            "Column 1": "1-1",
            "Column 2": "1-2",
            "Column 3": "1-3",
            "Column 4": "1-4",
          }
        ]}
      }
    >
      Download
    </CSVDownloader>
  );
}

Header Row Support

If you tell react-papaparse there is a header row, each row will be organized by field name instead of index.

import { usePapaParse } from 'react-papaparse';

const { readString } = usePapaParse();

readString(csvString, {
  header: true,
  worker: true,
  complete: (results) => {
    console.log('---------------------------');
    console.log(results);
    console.log('---------------------------');
  },
});

Stream

That's what streaming is for. Specify a step callback to receive the results row-by-row. This way, you won't load the whole file into memory and crash the browser.

import { usePapaParse } from 'react-papaparse';

const { readRemoteFile } = usePapaParse();

readRemoteFile(url, {
  step: (row) => {
    console.log('Row:', row.data);
  },
  complete: () => {
    console.log('All done!');
  }
});
