CSV Parser Adapter

CSV Parser adapter for receiving upstreams. Particularly useful for streaming multipart file uploads from the Skipper body parser. By using this adapter, you can CSV parse the uploaded files in-flight, as soon as first chunks are ready. You don't have to wait until the upload is finished to start parsing. You simply configure the adapter by giving it the CSV parse options (typically those found in csv-parse module). You also pass rowHandler function in the options that will be called for every parsed row. See example usage below.

Acknowledgement

This module is an adaptation of skipper-disk module. Much of the code is borrowed from there.

Installation

$ npm install skipper-csv --save

If you're using this module with Express, Connect, Kraken, or a vanilla Node.js server, make sure you have skipper itself installed as your body parser. This is the default configuration in Sails as of v0.10.

Usage

Basic example

    req.file('files').upload({
      adapter: require('skipper-csv'),
      csvOptions: {delimiter: ',', columns: true},
      rowHandler: function(row, fd){
        console.log(fd, row);
      }
    }, function (err, files) {
      if (err)
        return res.serverError(err);

      return res.json({
        message: "Uploaded " + files.length + " CSV files!",
        files: files
      });

    });

Testing

To run the tests:
