This tool aims to provide similar functionality to csvkit. Why duplicate this project? Because I didn't like having to deploy the entire python binary and dependencies everywhere I wanted to use the tool. So, here we are.
To start CSV Toolkit comes with rendering functionality. You can pipe in CSV data via Stdin and have it render a nicely formatted ASCII table.
Render allows you to render CSV data in a human readable ASCII formatted table. By default it will consume CSV formatted records from Stdin. You may specify a file by using the --input flag. Similarly, output will write to Stdout by default and may be changed with the --output flag
- Default ::
cat MOCK_DATA.csv | csvtk render - With input ::
csvtk render --input MOCK_DATA.csv - With output ::
cat MOCK_DATA.csv | csvtk render --output MOCK_DATA.txt
