Description
This is a basic type for reading, writing, and serving CSV files. I've updated the parsing method to use Daniel James' method from this post.
Instance Variables
->fields - An array containing the column names for the CSV file. Will default to [field_names] on creation if/when possible.
->rows - An array of arrays containing the data for the CSV file. Will default to [rows_array] on creation if/when possible.
->loadpath - String, the path to a CSV file to parse into the type.
->titlerow - Boolean, whether or not the CSV file contains a title row. Pertains to both loading and saving files. Defaults to false.
->savepath - String, where to save the CSV file.
->filename - String, the name to use when saving the file. Defaults to "results.csv."
Member Tags/Methods
->parseline - Parses an individual line of a loaded file. Used internally by ->load.
->load - Loads a CSV file from the given path. Optionally accepts a boolean 'titlerow' parameter indicating whether or not the source file contains a title row.
->output - Returns the contents of the object formatted as a CSV file. Used internally by ->save and ->serve.
->save - Saves a CSV file to the given path.
->serve - Serves a CSV file to the browser using [file_serve].
->addrow - Accepts an array to add to ->rows.
Sample Usage
var('fieldnames') = array('Color','Number','Size');
var('data') = array(
array('Red',1,'small'),
array('Green',2,'medium'),
array('Blue',3,'large'),
array('Black',4,'extra large with "some" quotes')
);
var('stuff') = csv(
-fields=$fieldnames,
-rows=$data,
-titlerow=true
);
$stuff->addrow(array('Orange',5,'tiny'));
$stuff->save('atestfile.csv');
$stuff = null;
$stuff = csv;
$stuff->load('atestfile.csv');
$stuff->output;
