The toCSV function can be used to write out a DataFrame or Series to CSV file. The output is configurable and will depend on the environment. In the following examples, we show you how to write/download a CSV file from Node and Browser environments.
Node.js
Browser
const dfd = require("danfojs-node")
let data = {
Abs: [20.2, 30, 47.3],
Count: [34, 4, 5],
"country code": ["NG", "FR", "GH"],
};
let df = new dfd.DataFrame(data);
const csv = dfd.toCSV(df);
console.log(csv);
//output
Abs,Count,country code
20.2,34,NG
30,4,FR
47.3,5,GH

Writing a CSV file to a local file path is only supported in the Nodejs environment
Node.js
const dfd = require("danfojs-node")
let data = {
Abs: [20.2, 30, 47.3],
Count: [34, 4, 5],
"country code": ["NG", "FR", "GH"],
};
let df = new dfd.DataFrame(data);
dfd.toCSV(df, { filePath: "testOut.csv"});
You can automatically convert and download a CSV file in a browser environment, by specifying a
fileName and setting download to true.const dfd = require("danfojs")
let data = {
Abs: [20.2, 30, 47.3],
Count: [34, 4, 5],
"country code": ["NG", "FR", "GH"],
};
let df = new dfd.DataFrame(data);
dfd.toCSV(df, { fileName: "testOut.csv", download: true});
