CSV Parsing

Newgate includes a robust CSV parser that activates when Content-Type: text/csv is detected.

Usage

app.post('/upload-csv', (req, res) => {
  // req.body is an array of objects
  const rows = req.body;
  
  rows.forEach(row => {
    console.log(row);
  });
  
  res.json({ count: rows.length });
});

Options

The CSV parser supports various options for configuration.

const options = {
  headers: true,        // Use first row as headers (default: true)
  delimiter: ',',       // Field delimiter (default: ',')
  skipEmptyLines: true, // Skip empty lines (default: true)
  schema: {             // Optional schema validation
    age: (val) => !isNaN(parseInt(val))
  }
};
