Paginated conversion ?

[salimdriai]

Background Information

• Module Version: 4.0.0
• Node/Browser Version: 18

The issue I'm reporting is with:

• json2csv
• csv2json

I have...

• searched to see if an issue has already been reported.
• verified that my JSON/CSV data is valid (using something like http://jsonlint.com or https://csvlint.io/).
• tried upgrading to the latest version of json-2-csv (since the issue may already be fixed).

Expected Behavior

Convert specific number of lines, and ability to select a range something like paginated conversion .

Actual Behavior

There is no way to achieve that i think ?

Data Sample

CSV:

h1, h2, h3
c1, c2, c3,
b1, b2, b3,
f1, f2, f3,
d1, d2, d3,

convert only second line

JSON:

{
"h1": "b1",
"h2": "b2",
"h3" : "b3",
}

Hi @salimdriai, thanks for reporting this. You're right - there's currently no way to effectively paginate the returned CSV at the moment. I could definitely see a skip and limit option being reasonable additions. There might be some rework needed to handle this more efficiently in the CSV parser itself though. I'm definitely open to a merge request for this if you or someone else is up for adding this capability.
