Creating a Series
danfo.Series(data, options)
Parameters
Type
Description
data
1D Array, 1D Tensor, JSON object.
Flat data structure to load into DataFrame
options
Object
Optional configuration object. Supported properties are:
index: Array of numeric or string names for subseting array. If not specified, indexes are auto-generated.
dtypes: Array of data types for each the column. If not specified, dtypes are/is inferred.
config: General configuration object for extending or setting NDframe behavior. See full options here
In order to create a Series, you need to call the new Keyword and pass a flat data structure. In the following examples, we show you how to create a Series by specifying different config options.

Creating a Series and specifying index and dtypes
You can create a Series and specify options like index, dtypes, as well as configuration options for display, and memory mode etc.
Note: Specifing dtypes, and index on Series creation makes the process slightly faster.
Node
1
import { Series } from "danfojs"
2
3
let data1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
4
let index = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"];
5
let dtypes = ["int32",]
6
7
let df = new Series(data1, { index, dtypes });
8
df.print()

Creating a Series and specifying memory mode
To use less space on Series creation, you can set the low memory mode as demonstrated below:
1
import { Series } from "danfojs"
2
3
let data1 = [1, 2.3, 3, 4, 5, "girl"];
4
5
let df = new Series(data1, {
6
config: { lowMemoryMode: true }
7
});
8
df.print()
Copied!
Note: In low memory mode, less space is used by the Series.
