How to convert JavaScript array to CSV?

To convert JavaScript array to CSV, we use array and object methods.

For instance, we write

const data = [
  { title: "Book title 1", author: "Name1 Surname1" },
  { title: "Book title 2", author: "Name2 Surname2" },
  { title: "Book title 3", author: "Name3 Surname3" },
  { title: "Book title 4", author: "Name4 Surname4" },
];

const csv = data
  .map((d) => {
    return Object.values(d).join(",");
  })
  .join("n")

to call data.map with a callback that gets the values from each object in data with Object.values.

Then we call join to join the values into a string with each entry separated by a comma.

Then we call join again to combine the strings into a CSV with each line separated by a new line character.
