headersSpecifies the headers to use. Headers define the property key for each value in a CSV row. If no headers
option is provided, csv-parser
will use the first line in a CSV file as the header specification.
If false
, specifies that the first row in a data file does not contain headers, and instructs the parser to use the row index as the key for each row.
Suppose you have a CSV file data.csv
which contains the data:
NAME,AGE
Daffy Duck,24
Bugs Bunny,22
Using headers: false
with the data from data.csv
would yield:
[
{ '0': 'Daffy Duck', '1': 24 },
{ '0': 'Bugs Bunny', '1': 22 }
]
Optional

mapA function that can be used to modify the values of each header. Return null
to remove the header, and it's column, from the results.
csv({
mapHeaders: ({ header, index }) => header.toLowerCase()

skipInstructs the parser to ignore lines which represent comments in a CSV file. Since there is no specification that dictates what a CSV comment looks like, comments should be considered non-standard. The "most common" character used to signify a comment in a CSV file is "#"
. If this option is set to true
, lines which begin with #
will be skipped. If a custom character is needed to denote a commented line, this option may be set to a string which represents the leading character(s) signifying a comment line.
false

skipSpecifies the number of lines at the beginning of a data file that the parser should skip over, prior to parsing headers.
0

strictIf true
, instructs the parser that the number of columns in each row must match the number of headers
specified.
A single-character string used to specify the character used to escape strings in a CSV row.
