CSV Stringify examples

Introduction

This package proposes different API flavors. Every example is available on GitHub.

Using the pipe function

One useful function part of the Stream API is pipe. It is used to connect multiple stream.Readable sources to stream.Writable destinations.

The pipe example generates object records, stringifies them and print the generated CSV to the standard output.

import { stringify } from 'csv-stringify';
import { generate } from 'csv-generate';

generate({
  length: 20,
  objectMode: true,
  seed: 1,
  headers: 2,
  duration: 400
})
  .pipe(stringify({
    header: true,
    columns: {
      year: 'birthYear',
      phone: 'phone'
    }
  }))
  .pipe(process.stdout);
