Ignore headers of csv files with papaparse
I have a csv file that I need to parse and store in a database. I use sequelize for this
Here is how I defined the model of my table in sequelize :
const Person= sequelize.define(
'person',
{
id: {
type: DataTypes.UUID,
primaryKey: true,
defaultValue: uuidv4(),
allowNull: false
},
name: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
},
age: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
}
}, {
createdAt: false,
updatedAt: false,
tableName: 'person'
}
)
return Person
}then I have a csv file "test.csv":
he ,dd
liza, 23
sarah, 22basically I can't change the headers in my csv file and I have to keep the same structure defined in the db, I use papaparse to parse this file :
const papa = require('papaparse');
const fs = require('fs')
const file = fs.createReadStream(__basedir + "/test.csv");
papa.parse(file, {
header: true,
step: async function(results, parser) {
console.log("Row data:", results.data);
try{
await Person.create(results.data)
}catch(e){
console.log(e)
}
}
});in output I get the following error :
SequelizeUniqueConstraintError: Validation errorthe name, surname and age fields are null in the database
I am looking for a solution to ignore the headers of the csv file, how can I do that?
