Converts a comma-separated values (CSV) string to a 2D array.
|
|
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.indexOf()` to find the first newline character (`\n`).
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.slice()` to remove the first row (title row) if `omitFirstRow` is `true`.
|
|
- Use `String.prototype.split()` to create a string for each row.
|
|
- Use `String.prototype.split()` to separate the values in each row, using the provided `delimiter`.
|
|
- Omit the second argument, `delimiter`, to use a default delimiter of `','`.
|
|
- Omit the third argument, `omitFirstRow`, to include the first row (title row) of the CSV string.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const CSVToArray = (data, delimiter = ',', omitFirstRow = false) =>
|
|
data
|
|
.slice(omitFirstRow ? data.indexOf('\n') + 1 : 0)
|
|
.split('\n')
|
|
.map(v => v.split(delimiter));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
CSVToArray('a,b\nc,d'); // [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']];
|
|
CSVToArray('a;b\nc;d', ';'); // [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']];
|
|
CSVToArray('col1,col2\na,b\nc,d', ',', true); // [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']];
|
|
```
