Convert DataFrame to CSV string and return value

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

Convert DataFrame to CSV string and write to file path

Writing a CSV file to a local file path is only supported in the Nodejs environment

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"});

Convert DataFrame to CSV string and download file in Client-side lib

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});
