I'm looking at the NPM package csv-parser that parses csv files to JSON. Based on the example provided, you can read a csv file row by row in the following manner:
fs.createReadStream('data.csv')
.pipe(csv())
.on('data', (rowData) => console.log(rowData))
.on('end', () => { console.log("done reading the file") });
Is there any way I can only return the header values of the CSV file instead?
You can use headers event
fs.createReadStream('data.csv')
.pipe(csv())
.on('headers', (headers) => {
console.log(`First header: ${headers[0]}`)
})
