# tdast-util-from-csv
[**tdast**][tdast] utility to parse csv into tdast ([RFC-4180][] compliant).
---
## Install
```sh
npm install tdast-util-from-csv
```
## Use
With some [RFC-4180][] compliant CSV content (example below includes escaped double quotes and linebreaks):
```csv
"col1","c""o""""l,2,,","co\nl\n\n3\n"
row1col1, row1col2 ," row1col3\n,\n"""
"\nrow2col1",row2col2,row2col3\n
```
`tdast-util-from-csv` will parse the CSV content into a tdast `Table` node tracking row/column/cell offsets and attaching well-defined [`UnistPosition`][dfn-unist-position].
```js
import fromCsv from 'tdast-util-from-csv';
const options = { header: true };
expect(fromCsv(csv, options)).toEqual({
type: 'table',
position: {
start: {
line: 1,
column: 2,

},
end: {

## API
### `fromCsv(csv[, options])`
#### Interface
```ts
function fromCsv(
// RFC-4180 compliant CSV string
csv: string,
// optional options to configure parser
options?: Options,
): Table;
```
[RFC-4180][] compliant CSV parser to parse CSV to a tdast `Table` node.
Parsed `Cell` nodes conveniently escape any double-quote characters while preserving the original [`UnistPosition`][dfn-unist-position]. This enables conversion of the tdast tree into other [syntax trees][syntax-tree] that can make use of the positional information.
#### Related interfaces
```ts
interface Options {
// if the first row of the CSV contains header values
header?: boolean;
}
```
## Author's Note
I have little experience writing parsers. Unlike most CSV parsers, this parser does not use regexp and its implementation is specifically written to track and assemble a tdast tree with well-defined [`UnistPosition`][dfn-unist-position].
The parser **should** be well-behaved since it is implemented against the [RFC-4180][] spec with some testing.
If there are any issues or you want to implement this in a more elegant/efficient way, please let me know through GH issues!
