Danfojs: powerful javascript data analysis toolkit

What is it?

Danfo.js is a javascript package that provides fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with "relational" or "labeled" data both easy and intuitive. It is heavily inspired by Pandas library, and provides a similar API. This means that users familiar with Pandas, can easily pick up danfo.js.

Main Features

  • Danfo.js is fast. It is built on Tensorflow.js, and supports tensors out of the box. This means you can convert Danfo data structure to Tensors.
  • Easy handling of missing-data (represented as NaN) in floating point as well as non-floating point data
  • Size mutability: columns can be inserted/deleted from DataFrame
  • Automatic and explicit alignment: objects can be explicitly aligned to a set of labels, or the user can simply ignore the labels and let Series, DataFrame, etc. automatically align the data for you in computations
  • Powerful, flexible groupby functionality to perform split-apply-combine operations on data sets, for both aggregating and transforming data
  • Make it easy to convert Arrays, JSONs, List or Objects, Tensors and differently-indexed data structures into DataFrame objects
  • Intelligent label-based slicing, fancy indexing, and querying of large data sets
  • Intuitive merging and joining data sets
  • Robust IO tools for loading data from flat-files (CSV, Json, Excel, Data package).
  • Powerful, flexible and intutive API for plotting DataFrames and Series interactively.
  • Timeseries-specific functionality: date range generation and date and time properties.
  • Robust data preprocessing functions like OneHotEncoders, LabelEncoders, and scalers like StandardScaler and MinMaxScaler are supported on DataFrame and Series

How to install

Danfo.js is hosted on NPM, and can installed via package managers like npm and yarn

npm install danfojs-node

Example usage in Nodejs

const dfd = require("danfojs-node")


dfd.read_csv("https://web.stanford.edu/class/archive/cs/cs109/cs109.1166/stuff/titanic.csv")
  .then(df => {
    //prints the first five columns
    df.head().print()

    //Calculate descriptive statistics for all numerical columns
    df.describe().print()

    //prints the shape of the data
    console.log(df.shape);

    //prints all column names
    console.log(df.column_names);

    //prints the inferred dtypes of each column
    df.ctypes.print()

    //selecting a column by subsetting
    df['Name'].print()

    //drop columns by names
    cols_2_remove = ['Age', 'Pclass']
    df_drop = df.drop({ columns: cols_2_remove, axis: 1 })
    df_drop.print()


    //select columns by dtypes
    let str_cols = df_drop.select_dtypes(["string"])
    let num_cols = df_drop.select_dtypes(["int32", "float32"])
    str_cols.print()
    num_cols.print()


    //add new column to Dataframe
    let new_vals = df['Fare'].round().values
    df_drop.addColumn({ column: "fare_round", value:  new_vals})
    df_drop.print()

    df_drop['fare_round'].print(5)

    //prints the number of occurence each value in the column
    df_drop['Survived'].value_counts().print()

    //print the last ten elementa of a DataFrame
    df_drop.tail(10).print()

    //prints the number of missing values in a DataFrame
    df_drop.isna().sum().print()

  }).catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
  })
