Most of the credit goes to csvtojson. This package is a thin wrapper on top of csvtojson tailored to our anticipated use cases.
Features
- Promise API
- Transform column names
- Returns JS object or JSON string
- Parse CSV from a string or file
- Non-blocking (5-6ms ticks on average)
- Don't lose the configurability of csvtojson
Future concerns:
- Blocking for "data" path (split and reverse). The cost of this isn't terribly high, but could become a concern with larger datasets. (~70ms for 200k lines @ 25 columns)
- columnNameMapper option (function) so that we could pass in a toCamelCase function or something.
- columnTypeMapper map function for each value (integer for some columns, date for others)
- Allow a stream to be passed in instead a string of filename Check out tests for usage examples
