ts-files
BETA RELEASE: the writer is not completed, details below
A File reader and writer, for large multi-chunk operations. Works with CSV, JSON, and raw text.
The File operations uses both the fs and stream libraries, with increased customisability and helpful defaults to help prevent string size restrictions, ulimit errors, synchronous write limitations, etc. In addition, many helpful features include JSON structure searches, type parsing, and column based edits.

import { CsvFile, FileStaticMethods } from 'ts-files'
const main = async () => {
// READ CSV
const file = await CsvFile.init('sample.csv');
await file.readCsv(1); // reading csv in chunks, with 1 header line
file.header(); // header (as Array<string>)
file.data(); // data (as Array<Array<string | number | boolean>>)
file.head(3); // console.table of first 3 lines
file.shape(); // shape (eg. [20, 3] is 20 lines with 3 columns)
// WRITE CSV - NOT COMPLETED
const fileWriter = await CsvFile.initCreate('writing.csv');
fileWriter.setHeader(['testName', 'testIdx', 'testItem']);
fileWriter.setData([['john', 1, 2], ['abram', 2, 1]]);
await fileWriter.writeCsv();
// STATIC METHODS
await FileStaticMethods.pathCreate(__dirname + "/testFile.csv", true);
await FileStaticMethods.pathCreate(__dirname + "/testFolder", false);
await FileStaticMethods.createIfNotExist(__dirname + "/testFile.csv");
const directory = await FileStaticMethods.walk(__dirname);
const file = await FileStaticMethods.pathFind(__dirname, 'testFile.csv');
const path = await FileStaticMethods.root('testFile.csv');
await FileStaticMethods.writeStream(file, 'abc');
const raw = await FileStaticMethods.readStream(file);
console.log(`directory: ${directory}\nfile: ${file}\npath: ${path}\nraw: ${raw}`);
