Usage

Reading

Read CSV file

import { readCSV } from "https://deno.land/x/csv/mod.ts";

const f = await Deno.open("./example.csv");

for await (const row of readCSV(f)) {
  console.log(`line: ${row.join(' ')}`);
}

f.close();

Read CSV file with custom separators

import { readCSV } from "https://deno.land/x/csv/mod.ts";

const f = await Deno.open("./example.csv");

const options = {
  columnSeparator: new TextEncoder().encode(';'),
  lineSeparator: new TextEncoder().encode('\r\n'),
  quote: new TextEncoder().encode('$'),
};

for await (const row of readCSV(f, options)) {
  console.log(`line: ${row.join(' ')}`);
}

f.close();

Read objects from CSV file with header row

import { readCSVObjects } from "https://deno.land/x/csv/mod.ts";

const f = await Deno.open("./example.csv");

for await (const obj of readCSVObjects(f)) {
  console.log(obj);
}

f.close();

Writing

Write CSV file

import { writeCSV } from "https://deno.land/x/csv/mod.ts";

const f = await Deno.open("./example.csv", { write: true, create: true, truncate: true });
const rows = [
  ["a", "b", "c"],
  ["1", "2", "3"],
];

await writeCSV(f, rows);

f.close();

Write objects asynchronously to CSV file

import { writeCSVObjects } from "https://deno.land/x/csv/mod.ts";

const f = await Deno.open("./example.csv", { write: true, create: true, truncate: true });
const header = ["a", "b", "c"];
const asyncObjectsGenerator = async function*() {
  yield { a: "1", b: "2", c: "3" };
  yield { a: "4", b: "5", c: "6" };
}

await writeCSVObjects(f, header, asyncObjectsGenerator());

f.close();

Write CSV file manually

import { CSVWriter } from "https://deno.land/x/csv/mod.ts";

const f = await Deno.open("./example.csv", { write: true, create: true, truncate: true });

const writer = new CSVWriter(f, {
  columnSeparator: new TextEncoder().encode("\t"),
  lineSeparator: new TextEncoder().encode("\r\n"),
});

await writer.writeCell("a");
await writer.writeCell("b");
await writer.writeCell("c");
await writer.nextLine();
await writer.writeCell("1");
await writer.writeCell("2");
await writer.writeCell("3");

f.close();
