csvcell

CSV Cell is a Go package with functions to read from a CSV file and write to a CSV file

Important

The ReadCSV function returnes each row within the CSV file as an array

Example of a Go Program using the ReadCSV function:

package main

import (
       "fmt"
       "github.com/ellwould/csvcell"
       "strings"
)

func main() {

       dirPath := "/"
       fileName := "example.csv"

       // Reading a CSV file where each row has 3 columns
       read := csvcell.ReadCSV(dirPath, fileName)
       for _, read := range read {
               column1 := strings.Join((read[0:][0:1]), ", ")
               column2 := strings.Join((read[0:][1:2]), ", ")
               column3 := strings.Join((read[0:][2:3]), ", ")
               fmt.Println(column1, column2, column3)
       }
}

Output in CLI:

Name Type Quantity
Apple Fruit 1
Pineapple Fruit 2
Pear Fruit 6
Orange Fruit 5
Grape Fruit 3
Carrot Vegetable 2
Lemon Fruit 8
Cherry Fruit 55
Banana Fruit 34
Broccoli Vegetable 9

Pineapple	Fruit	2
Pear	Fruit	6
Orange	Fruit	5
Grape	Fruit	3
Carrot	Vegetable	2
Lemon	Fruit	8
Cherry	Fruit	55

Example of a Go Program using the WriteCSV function:

package main

import (
       "github.com/ellwould/csvcell"
)

func main() {

       dirPath := "/"
       fileName := "example.csv"

       // Data to write to CSV
       produce := "Broccoli"
       produceType := "Vegetable"
       quantity := "9"

       // Variable with all strings concatenated and commas included inbetween
       data := produce + "," + produceType + "," + quantity

       // WriteCSV function called from csvcell package
       // (Directory Path, name of CSV file, commas to prepend, data to write to the file, commas to append)
       csvcell.WriteCSV(dirPath, fileName, 0, data, 0)
}
