Suppose we have an
asset data model object with (amongst others) name and cost as fields, and we want to generate CSV for all assets and their names and costs:main.js
var allAssets = DB.asset.all().toArray();
var myMx = allAssets.map(function(asset) {
return [asset.name, asset.cost];
});
var csv = CSV.stringify(myMx, {heading: ['Name', 'Cost']});
CSV.parse(source, options);
Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
source | String |
options (Optional) | Object with the following properties:
|
delimiter: Character to separate columns with. If no delimiter is specified, the library detects and uses the appropriate one | |
Returns: the parsed CSV as an array of arrays.
Assume
csv_file's content is:csv_file.csv
Type,Color
Cell Phone,Black
Computer,Red
main.view.xml
<!-- In the View XML -->
<var name="csv_file" type="attachment" media="text/csv" />
<capture-file bind="csv_file" required="false" />
main.js
var csvFileContent = view.csv_file.toText();
var parsed = CSV.parse(csvFileContent);
// Starting at 1 since the heading is in position 0
for (var i = 1; i < parsed.length; i++) {
var item = parsed[i];
var newAsset = DB.asset.create({
type: item[0],
color: item[1]
});
newAsset.save();
}
