Example

The default value is the newline ASCII character \n. The example defines the custom pipe character instead:

import { stringify } from 'csv-stringify/sync';
import assert from 'node:assert';

const records = stringify([
  ['a', 'b'],
  ['c', 'd']
], {
  record_delimiter: '|',
  eof: false,
});

assert.equal(records, 'a,b|c,d');
