Paradox.js NPM

Paradox.js

A library for reading paradox database files (*.db)

Usage

  var ParadoxTable = require("paradox.js")
  var fs = require("fs")
  
  var file = fs.readFileSync("path/to/file")
  var table = new ParadoxTable(file)

Getting records

You have to import the ParadoxTable and use .findRecords() method in order to get all records. This method also accepts an object which can contain the following properties: maxBlockNumber (an integer), filter (a function), disableWarning (a boolean).

  var records = table.findRecords({
    filter: function(record){
      if(someCriteria(record)){
        return true
      }
      return false
    }
  })

When the file size exceeds 100mb it will probably produce a memory error, so the use --max-old-space-size flag when running your script.

Creating a CSV file

  table.dumpToCSV()

The .dumpToCSV() method will create a output.csv file. This method also accepts a callback which will receive an array of records (a record is an array of Fields) in case you want to have more control over the output.

Notes

The following data types: Memo BLOb, Binary Large Object, Formatted Memo BLOb, OLE, Graphic BLOb, BCD and Bytes are currently not supported, so you will have to decode them yourself.
