## Install

```javascript

npm i "echo-table-2-file"

```

---

## Example usage

For our examples we will be using the tables from www.coolgithubprojects.com.

We use **.convert** for local HTML files and **.convertUrl** for online retrieval.

``` javascript

// Site was saved locally in process folder. The follow code will read it and generate the json.

var echo = require('echo-table-2-file');

echo.convert('process', 'output', 'json');

```

``` javascript

// Here we grab the tables from the site and save the data to a csv (default type).

var echo = require('echo-table-2-file');

echo.convertUrl('https://www.coolgithubprojects.com', 'output');

```

``` javascript

// Lastly, we filter the tables to only include the month table (based on table ID).

var echo = require('echo-table-2-file');

echo.convertUrl('https://www.coolgithubprojects.com', 'output', 'months');

/* OUTPUT EXAMPLE : ./output/month.csv
