I'm creating a small tool for internal user with puppeteer.
Basically I got a csv file with some data i "read" and fill form with.
As I try to cleanup my project to be reusable i'm struggle a little bit:
I create a file name parsecsv.js
const config = require('../config.json');
const parse = require('csv-parse');
const fs = require('fs');
const processFile = async () => {
records = []
const parser = fs
.createReadStream(config.sourceFile)
.pipe(parse({
// CSV options
from_line: 1,
delimiter: ";",
}));
let i =1;
for await (const record of parser) {
records.push(record)
i++;
}
return records
}
const processFileData = async () => {
const records = await processFile()
console.info(records);
return records
}
module.exports ={
processFile, processFileData
}
in an other Js file i made
const parseCSV = require('./src/ParseCsv');
const records = parseCSV.processFileData();
const data = parseCSV.processFile();
console.log(typeof records);
console.table(records);
console.log(typeof data);
console.table(data);
But I never get my data only an empty oject. How I can get my data to be able to "share" it with other function ?
thanks
as your functions are async ones and they return a promises, you can do something like
const parseCSV = require('./src/ParseCsv');
(async () => {
const records = await parseCSV.processFileData();
const data = await parseCSV.processFile();
console.log(typeof records);
console.table(records);
console.log(typeof data);
console.table(data);
})()
