Converts a 2D array to a comma-separated values (CSV) string.
|
|
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.map()` and `Array.prototype.join()` to combine individual 1D arrays (rows) into strings, using the provided `delimiter`.
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.join()` to combine all rows into a CSV string, separating each row with a newline (`\n`).
|
|
- Omit the second argument, `delimiter`, to use a default delimiter of `,`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const arrayToCSV = (arr, delimiter = ',') =>
|
|
arr
|
|
.map(v =>
|
|
v.map(x => (isNaN(x) ? `"${x.replace(/"/g, '""')}"` : x)).join(delimiter)
|
|
)
|
|
.join('\n');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
arrayToCSV([['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']]); // '"a","b"\n"c","d"'
|
|
arrayToCSV([['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']], ';'); // '"a";"b"\n"c";"d"'
|
|
arrayToCSV([['a', '"b" great'], ['c', 3.1415]]);
|
|
// '"a","""b"" great"\n"c",3.1415'
|
|
```
