# CSV and object generation

This package provides a flexible generator of CSV strings and Javascript objects
implementing the Node.js `stream.Readable` API.

[Documentation for the "csv-generate" package is available here](https://csv.js.org/generate/).

## Documentation

* [Project homepage](http://csv.js.org/generate/)
* [API](http://csv.js.org/generate/api/)
* [Options](http://csv.js.org/generate/options/)
* [Examples](http://csv.js.org/generate/examples/)

## Main features

* Scalable `stream.Readable` implementation
* random or pseudo-random seed based generation
* Idempotence with the "seed" option
* User-defined value generation
* Multiple types of values (integer, boolean, dates, ...)
* MIT License

## Usage

Run `npm install csv` to install the full csv module or run `npm install csv-generate` if you are only interested by the CSV generator.

Use the callback style API for simplicity or the stream based API for scalability.

## Development

Tests are executed with [Mocha](https://mochajs.org/). To install it, simple run `npm install` followed by `npm test`. It will install mocha and its dependencies in your project "node_modules" directory and run the test suite. The tests run  against the CoffeeScript source files.

To generate the JavaScript files, run `npm run coffee`.

The test suite is run online with [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/#!/adaltas/node-csv-generate). See the [Travis definition file](https://github.com/adaltas/node-csv-generate/blob/master/.travis.yml) to view the tested Node.js version.
