ParseOptions

separator

separator?: string

Character which separates values.

Default: ","

comment

comment?: string

Character to start a comment.

Lines beginning with the comment character without preceding whitespace are ignored. With leading whitespace the comment character becomes part of the field, even you provide trimLeadingSpace: true.

By default, no character is considered to be a start of a comment.

trimLeadingSpace

trimLeadingSpace?: boolean

Flag to trim the leading space of the value.

This is done even if the field delimiter, separator, is white space.

Default: false

lazyQuotes

lazyQuotes?: boolean

Allow unquoted quote in a quoted field or non-double-quoted quotes in quoted field.

Default: false

fieldsPerRecord

fieldsPerRecord?: number

Enabling checking number of expected fields for each row.

If positive, each record is required to have the given number of fields. If 0, it will be set to the number of fields in the first row, so that future rows must have the same field count. If negative, no check is made and records may have a variable number of fields.

If the wrong number of fields is in a row, a SyntaxError is thrown.

skipFirstRow

skipFirstRow?: boolean

If you provide skipFirstRow: true and columns, the first line will be skipped. If you provide skipFirstRow: true but not columns, the first line will be skipped and used as header definitions.

Default: false

columns

columns?: readonly string[]

List of names used for header definition.
