Installation

You can install sql-csv using npm: npm install sql-csv

Usage

To use sql-csv, you first need to create a new instance of the CsvSql class:

const CsvSql = require('sql-csv');

const csvSql = new CsvSql('path/to/csv/file.csv');

You can also pass url to a CSV file:

const csvSql = new CsvSql('https://example.com/file.csv');

You can then run SQL queries on the CSV data using the query method:

const result = await csvSql.query('SELECT * FROM file WHERE column1 = "value"');

• The table name in the query must match the name of the CSV file.

• The column names in the query must match the column names in the CSV file.

• The values in the query must be enclosed in double quotes.

• The query must end with a semicolon.

• The result will be an array of objects, where each object represents a row in the CSV file.
