CSVParse

A utility for parsing CSV files and converting them to JSON format in Node.js. The CSVParse class is easy to use and can handle large CSV files, allowing you to start and stop at specific line numbers and use custom delimiters.

Features

• Parse large CSV files with configurable start and stop line numbers
• Supports custom delimiters and file encodings
• Optional header row support
• Can specify errorCallback to handle errors

Installation

npm install @ochoalopes/csvparse

Usage

Import the CSVParse class and create a new instance:

import { CSVParse } from '@ochoalopes/csvparse';

const csvParse = new CSVParse();

Then, call the parseToJson method:

csvParse.parseToJson(filePathToRead, filePathToWrite, fileHasHeader, encoding, delimiter, startFrom, stopAt, errorCallback);

Parameters

• filePathToRead (string) - The path of the CSV file to read.
• filePathToWrite (string) - The path of the JSON file to write.
• fileHasHeader (boolean, optional, default: false) - Set to true if the CSV file has a header row.
• encoding (BufferEncoding, optional, default: 'utf-8') - The encoding of the CSV file.
• delimiter (string, optional, default: '|') - The delimiter used in the CSV file.
• startFrom (number, optional, default: 0) - The line number to start parsing from (inclusive).
• stopAt (number, optional, default: 0) - The line number to stop parsing at (inclusive).
• errorCallback (function, optional) - A callback function that receives an Error object if an error occurs during parsing.

Example:

csvParse.parseToJson('./data/input.csv', './data/output.json', true, 'utf-8', ',', 1, 100, (error) => {
  console.error('Error occurred:', error.message);
});
