Hapi-csv 
What
Converts the response to csv based on the Joi response schema when the Accept header includes text/csv or application/csv or the requested route ends with .csv
How
npm install hapi-csv
Register the hapi-csv plugin on the server
server.register({
register: require('hapi-csv'),
options: {
maximumElementsInArray: 5,
separator: ','
}
}, function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
...
});When you have a route on which a response schema is defined, like in the example below, the plugin will convert the response to csv when the Accept header includes text/csv or application/csv or the requested route ends with .csv
const routes = [{
method: 'GET',
path: '/users',
handler: Users.getAll,
config: {
response: {
schema: Joi.object().keys({
first_name: Joi.string(),
last_name: Joi.string(),
age: Joi.number()
})
}
}
}]Either do GET /users with header Accept: text/csv or Accept: application/csv.
Or do GET /users.csv.
The header approach is prefered.
Currently the content-disposition header is set to attachment; by default since this plugin is intended for exporting purposes, if this hinders you just let us know.
To handle typical pagination responses like
{
"page": 1,
"items": [
{ "name": "Anton", "age": 22 },
{ "name": "Lisa", "age": 25 }
]
}pass in the resultKey option:
server.register({
register: require('hapi-csv'),
options: {
resultKey: 'items'
}
}, function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
...
});
