csv-trim

Trim whitespace from every cell of a CSV file and drop rows that are empty.

Requirements

• Node.js 20 or later (engines in package.json). Tested here on 22.23.2.
• No dependencies.

Setup

git clone <your-fork-url> csv-trim
cd csv-trim

The package is not on the npm registry, so the old npm install -g csv-trim line has been removed. To put csv-trim on your PATH from a checkout, run npm link (dry run only, not executed).

First run

npm run example

Expected output:

name,city
Ana,Porto
Bo,Oslo

Usage

node bin/csv-trim.js <input.csv>                     # print to stdout
node bin/csv-trim.js <input.csv> --out <output.csv>  # write a file

With no input file, it prints the usage line and exits with code 1.

Testing

node --test test/*.test.js

npm test (node --test test/) currently fails on Node.js 22: Node tries to load test/ as a module. Change the script to the command above to fix it.

Limitations

• Not quote-aware: it splits on every comma, so the quoted field "Lisbon, PT" comes out as "Lisbon,PT" (checked).
• Reads the whole file into memory.
