How to read base64 csv file?

[kuriel-trivu]

our uploaded file is a base64 encoded string, i think this is very popular nowadays, how to read that kind of files? with this module.

Use node fromStream method with createReadStream

const fs = require('fs')
const csv = require('csvtojson')

csv()
  .fromStream(fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file', { encoding: 'base64' }))
  .subscribe((json) => {
    console.log(json)
  },
  (err) => {
    throw err
  },
  () => {
    console.log('success')
  })

@jfoclpf Bro, title Is VERY specific. From base64 string, you passed a path file.

got it, though IMHO it is not a purpose of this module to do this type of conversions, anyway you can check this
