In config object, you have to enter an input path. But If you don't want to output any file you can set to null.

Add parseRows: true (optional) to the config object to output an array of arrays where the first element is an array of column names followed by arrays of values. Like sample below:

[
    [ 'date', 'close'],
    [ '31-Jul-07', '131.76' ],
    [ '30-Jul-07', '141.43' ],
    [ '27-Jul-07', '143.85' ],
    [ '26-Jul-07', '146.00' ],
    [ '25-Jul-07', '137.26' ],
    [ '24-Jul-07', '134.89' ],
    [ '23-Jul-07', '143.70' ],
    [ '20-Jul-07', '143.75' ]
]
