Transforming JS object to CSV

Hi.

With the split to data-forge and data-forge-fs, I'm not sure how to turn an array of JS Objects I have in memory into a CSV file.

fromObject() is defined on data-forge but asCSV() and writeFileSync() are defined in data-forge-fs.

Example data structure

const arr = [
  { first: 'micky', last: 'mouse' },
  { first: 'minnie', last: 'mouse' }
];
// How do I turn `arr` into a CSV file?
// Do i import `data-forge` or `data-forge-fs` or both?

Thank you.

After the split you need to include both data-forge and data-forge-fs. That's it, that's all you have to do differently:

const dataForge = require("data-forge");
require("data-forge-fs");

// You code goes here

There are multiple ways to get your data into a DataFrame.

You can read about how to write CSV files in The Guide.

Please let me know if any part of it isn't clear.
