Use

import toArray from 'tdast-util-to-array';

const tdast = {
  type: 'table',
  children: [
    {
      type: 'row',
      index: 0,
      children: [
        {
          type: 'column',
          index: 0,
          value: 'col1',
        },
        {
          type: 'column',
          index: 1,
          value: 'col2',
        },
        {
          type: 'column',
          index: 2,
          value: 'col3',
        },
      ],
    },
    {
      type: 'row',
      index: 1,
      children: [
        {
          type: 'cell',
          columnIndex: 0,
          rowIndex: 1,
          value: 'row1col1',
        },
        {
          type: 'cell',
          columnIndex: 1,
          rowIndex: 1,
          value: 'row1col2',
        },
        {
          type: 'cell',
          columnIndex: 2,
          rowIndex: 1,
          value: 'row1col3',
        },
      ],
    },
    {
      type: 'row',
      index: 2,
      children: [
        {
          type: 'cell',
          columnIndex: 0,
          rowIndex: 2,
          value: 'row2col1',
        },
        {
          type: 'cell',
          columnIndex: 1,
          rowIndex: 2,
          value: 'row2col2',
        },
        {
          type: 'cell',
          columnIndex: 2,
          rowIndex: 2,
          value: 'row2col3',
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
};

expect(toArray(tdast)).toEqual({
  { col1: 'row1col1', col2: 'row1col2', col3: 'row1col3' },
  { col1: 'row2col1', col2: 'row2col2', col3: 'row2col3' },
});

API

toArray(array[, options])

Interface

function toArray(
  // tdast Table node
  tdast: Table,
  // options to configure transformer
  options?: Options,
): Array<Record<string, any>>;

Transforms a tdast Table node into a JS array of objects.

If columns and row cell cardinality do not match, an error will be thrown to inform that the JS array cannot be transformed.

By default, toArray will infer Column node values to use as keys for the JS array objects. If the tdast node does not contain Column nodes, or you wish to use explicit column keys, you can specify these with the options.columns property as detailed in the example below.

Example

Using the same tdast tree in the earlier example

import toArray from 'tdast-util-to-array';

const options = {
  columns ['Col A', 'Col B', 'Col C'],
};

expect(toArray(tdast, options)).toEqual([
  { 'Col A': 'row1col1', 'Col B': 'row1col2', 'Col C': 'row1col3' },
  { 'Col A': 'row2col1', 'Col B': 'row2col2', 'Col C': 'row2col3' },
]);

Related interfaces

interface Options {
  // array of column strings that will be used as object keys.  Overrides the column values detected in the tdast tree.
  columns?: string[];
}
