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 🙏

Readme

ezcsv

Convert between CSV and JSON types with very simple API.

NPM info

Travis build status

This update fix some problems. The original package is here (https://travis-ci.org/Like-Falling-Leaves/ezcsv)

Install

npm install yamquery-ezcsv

API

This library tries to convert tables stored as CSV or TSV into an array of json objects. Consider a table of the following format:

Name|Date ----|---- Yorkan, Yorkie|Sun Aug 31 2014 16:07:57 GMT-0700 (PDT) Yorkie, Yorkan|Sun Aug 31 2014 16:08:23 GMT-0700 (PDT)

This module would convert that to the following JSON structure:

{
  "header": [
    "Name",
    "Date"
  ],
  "items": [
    {
      "Name": "Yorkan, Yorkie",
      "Date": "Sun Aug 31 2014 16:07:57 GMT-0700 (PDT)"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Yorkie, Yorkan",
      "Date": "Sun Aug 31 2014 16:08:23 GMT-0700 (PDT)"
    }
  ]
}

Read TSV

If a file is saved as TSV, the module expects the first line to be the 'header'. It then creates an object for every subsequent line.

    var ezcsv = require('ezcsv');
    var json = ezcsv.tsv.read('example1.tsv');
    ....
    json.items.forEach(function () { .... })

Writing TSV as output

You can write a set of objects to TSV. If the header field is omitted, it will calculate the header based on the values of the objects provided (default to empty string for any missing fields).

    var ezcsv = require('ezcsv');
    var json = ezcsv.tsv.write(
      'example1.tsv', 
      {
        header: ['Name', 'Date'], // optional, it will auto-calculate
        items: [ .... ]
      }
    );

CSV Files

Reading and writing CSV files is similar, just use ezcsv.csv instead of ezcsv.tsv/

Empty lines, separators etc.

By default, empty lines are skipped both when reading and writing. Line separator is newline when writing and also carriage-return when reading. Field seperator is comma or tab as the case may be. All of these are configurable by using the get method with a config (it returns the read and write methods). Look at index.js to see how to specify these configuration parameters.
