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 🙏

node-csv-query Build Status

Turn your CSV files to queryable objects.

Node-csv-query loads the entire CSV file in memory, thanks to csv-parse, then plug lodash manipulation functions on the loaded dataset. This can be handy for demo project as your code will have a databsae ready syntax while your dataset is easily editable even for non developer.

:warning:Warning:warning:: this library is not meant for performance!

How to use

dataset.csv

id,firstName,lastName,amountOfBooks
1,Olivier,Kaisin,10
2,Emile-Victor,Portenart,2
3,Alex,Mapolice,42
4,Alex,Gaspy,2

Connect to your csv database

'use strict';
    
var csvdb = require("node-csv-query");
var databaseConnection = null;


csvdb(__dirname + "/dataset.csv").then(function (db) {
  databaseConnection = db;
});

How to find the row with firstName=Olivier

databaseConnection.findOne({ 
  firstName: "Olivier" 
}).then(function (record) {
  // Do some stuff
})

How to find the rows with firstName=Alex

databaseConnection.find({ 
  firstName: "Alex" 
}).then(function (record) {
  // Do some stuff
})

How to find the rows with having an 'i' in their firstName

This lib use lodash for querying the dataset. All query format are listed here. node-csv-query will just pass the query param to lodash as the predicate argument.

databaseConnection.find(function (record) {
  return record.firstName.indexOf('i') > -1;
}).then(function (records) {
  // Do some stuff
})

How to deal with different dataset format

This lib is based on csv-parse for parsing csv files. All available options for parsing the CSV are listed here. node-csv-query will just pass these option to csv-parse with the exception of the columns option that will be overrided to true for internal mechanism to works.

dataset_custom.csv

# this dataset has comment & semi colon separator & space before separator
id;firstName   ;lastName ;amountOfBooks
1 ;Olivier     ;Kaisin   ;10
2 ;Emile-Victor;Portenart;2
3 ;Alex        ;Mapolice ;42
4 ;Alex        ;Gaspy    ;2
'use strict';

var csvdb = require("node-csv-query");

csvdb(
  __dirname + "/dataset_custom.csv", { rtrim: true, delimiter: ';', comment: '#' }
).then(function (db) {
  return db.findOne({ 
    firstName: "Olivier" 
  });
}).then(function (record) {
  // Do some stuff
}).catch(function (error) {
  throw error;
});
