How to insert new column into CSV in nodejs










0















I have to add a new cell in each row. let's say I have a list of products CSV and I am fetching the image URL for each product it using some functionality and I need to update the URL corresponding to each product.



const writestream = fs.createWriteStream('src/working_file.csv', 
flags: 'a'
);
writestream.write( image: imageURL );


the "image" is the new column name I want in my CSV file. "imageURL" is the URL of the produc I have in my hand



the above code is giving TypeError: Invalid non-string/buffer chunk



I got to read the CSV also for some reasons and I am using csv-parser for it.

          You need to add the imageURL as a string, not an object containing the imageURL. You might need to append a comma as well to separate it from the other columns, depending on the format of your file:



          writestream.write("," + imageURL);

          • this will add ,imageURL at the end of the file. but not at the end of the each line.
