<h3>Inputs</h3>
|

|
|
<dl class="message-properties">
|
||
|
|
<dt>payload<span class="property-type">object | array | string</span></dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>A JavaScript object, array or CSV string.</dd>

<h3>Outputs</h3>
|
||
|
|
<dl class="message-properties">

<ul>
|

|
|
<li>If the input is a string it tries to parse it as CSV and creates a JavaScript object of key/value pairs for each line.
|
||
|
|
The node will then either send a message for each line, or a single message containing an array of objects.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If the input is a JavaScript object it tries to build a CSV string.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If the input is an array of simple values, it builds a single line CSV string.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If the input is an array of arrays, or an array of objects, a multiple-line CSV string is created.</li>
|
||
|
|

<h3>Details</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>The column template can contain an ordered list of column names. When converting CSV to an object, the column names
|
||
|
|
will be used as the property names. Alternatively, the column names can be taken from the first row of the CSV.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When converting to CSV, the column template is used to identify which properties to extract from the object and in what order.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the input is an array then the columns template is only used to optionally generate a row of column titles.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The node can accept a multi-part input as long as the <code>parts</code> property is set correctly.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If outputting multiple messages they will have their <code>parts</code> property set and form a complete message sequence.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Note:</b> the column template must be comma separated - even if a different separator is chosen for the data.</p>
