Sorry, time constraints have stopped from keeping track of this package. I recommend you look for alternatives on atmospherejs.

JQuery CSV for Meteor

Parse CSV (Comma Separated Values) to Javascript arrays or dictionaries

Note: The JQuery-CSV.js file has been slightly modified from the official released version. This was to add in a 'headerIndex' option to the toObjects(..) method.

Scope

I am using this library for client side parsing of CSV files. If you are looking for server-side parsing, more complete NPM solutions can be found here.

Syntax (taken from the JQuery CSV page)

Importing

Client-Side: (ie. browser) - import via the script element.

<script src="jquery-csv.js"></ script>

Server-Side: (ie. Node.js) - Import via the standard CommonJS approach.

var $ = jQuery = require('jquery');
require('./jquery.csv.js');

Usage

A basic usage example can be found here.

Each one of the JQuery-CSV methods can be called with the following form:

$.csv.function(csv, {options}, callback);

csv (required) - The csv data to be transformed.

options (optional) - An object containing user-defined overrides for the default options.

callback (optional) - Used for Node.js-style async callbacks. Uses the form function(err, data).

Methods

toArray

Parse a single entry string to an array

$.csv.toArray(csv);

toArrays

Parse a multi-line CSV string to a 2D array

$.csv.toArrays(csv);

toObjects

Parse a multi-line CSV string to an array of objects

$.csv.toObjects(csv);
