## Features

- RFC Compliant

- ECMAScript Module

- Typescript Compatible

## Imports

This package works isomorphically in browser and server-side JavaScript

### Browser

Import directly from the local path or a CDN

```html

import { parse } from 'path/to/csv/index.js'

```

The minified version can be imported from

```html

import { parse } from 'path/to/csv/index.min.js'

```

### Node

Install the package

```sh

npm install @vanillaes/csv

```

Import using the module path

```javascript

import { parse } from '@vanillaes/csv'

```

## Usage

### CSV.parse()

Takes a string of CSV data and converts it to a 2 dimensional array of `[entries][values]`

#### Arguments

```CSV.parse(csv, {options}, reviver(value, row, col)) : [entries][values]```

- csv - the CSV string to parse

- options

  - typed - infer types (default `false`)

- reviver1 - a custom function to modify the output (default `(value) => value`)

*1 Values for `row` and `col` are 1-based.*

#### Example

```javascript

const csv = `

"header1,header2,header3"

"aaa,bbb,ccc"

"zzz,yyy,xxx"

`;

const parsed = parse(csv)

console.log(parsed);

> [

>   [ "header1", "header2", "header3" ],

>   [ "aaa", "bbb", "ccc" ],

>   [ "zzz", "yyy", "xxx" ]

> ]

```

### CSV.stringify()

Takes a 2 dimensional array of `[entries][values]` and converts them to CSV

#### Arguments

```CSV.stringify(array, {options}, replacer(value, row, col)) : string```

- array - the input array to stringify

- options

  - eof - add a trailing newline at the end of file (default `true`)

- replacer1 - a custom function to modify the values (default `(value) => value`)

*1 Values for `row` and `col` are 1-based.*

#### Example

```javascript

const data = [

  [ "header1", "header2", "header3" ],

  [ "aaa", "bbb", "ccc" ],

  [ "zzz", "yyy", "xxx" ]

];

const stringified = stringify(data)

console.log(stringified);

> "header1,header2,header3"

> "aaa,bbb,ccc"

> "zzz,yyy,xxx"

```

## Typescript

Typings are generated from JSDoc using Typescript. They are 100% compatible with VSCode Intellisense and will work seamlessly with Typescript.
