A command line and Node JS tool to split CSV files

Motivations

Some CSVs are really big and hard to process. This tool is here to help you split them in different parts.

Installation

You can downlad this from npm:

npm install csv-splitter

Or install it from this repo, by running npm install in the root directory.

[TIP] If you want to use this utility from the command line and system-wide, just add the -g option to the npm install command.

CLI Usage

csv-splitter <input-file> <max-rows> [options]

This will split the <input-file>, making sure that every part has at most <max-rows>.

The only option is -o <output-directory>, which allows you to specify where to place the parts files (It will be created if necessary), by default it's the current working directory.

NodeJS Usage

const CsvSplitter = require('csv-splitter');

CsvSplitter.split(filepath, maxEntries, ouputDirectory);

Where ouputDirectory is the only optional parameter, default to the current working directory.
