Overview

A Table is a two-dimensional data structure for representing ::CSV documents. Tables allow you to work with the data by row or column, manipulate the data, and even convert the results back to ::CSV, if needed.

All tables returned by ::CSV will be constructed from this class, if header row processing is activated.

Class Method Summary

Instance Attribute Summary

  • #mode readonly

    The current access mode for indexing and iteration.

  • #table readonly protected

    Internal data format used to compare equality.

Instance Method Summary

Constructor Details

.new(array_of_rows, headers: nil) ⇒ Table

Construct a new Table from array_of_rows, which are expected to be Row objects. All rows are assumed to have the same headers.

The optional #headers parameter can be set to ::Array of headers. If headers aren’t set, headers are fetched from Row objects. Otherwise, headers() method will return headers being set in headers argument.

A Table object supports the following ::Array methods through delegation:

  • empty?()

  • length()

  • size()

    #<<(row_or_array)  
  



  

    

Adds a new row to the bottom end of this table.  You can provide an ::Array, which will be converted to a Row (inheriting the table’s headers()), or a Row.



This method returns the table for chaining.

    @table << row_or_array
  end

  self # for chaining
end


  








  

    #==(other)  
  



  

    

Returns true if all rows of this table ==() other‘s rows.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/csv/table.rb', line 344



def ==(other)
  return @table == other.table if other.is_a? CSV::Table
  @table == other
end


  








  

    #[](index_or_header)  
  



  

    

In the default mixed mode, this method returns rows for index access and columns for header access.  You can force the index association by first calling by_col!() or by_row!().



Columns are returned as an ::Array of values.  Altering that ::Array has no effect on the table.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/csv/table.rb', line 155



def [](index_or_header)
  if @mode == :row or  # by index
     (@mode == :col_or_row and (index_or_header.is_a?(Integer) or index_or_header.is_a?(Range)))
    @table[index_or_header]
  else                 # by header
    @table.map { |row| row[index_or_header] }
  end
end


  








  

    #[]=(index_or_header, value)  
  



  

    

In the default mixed mode, this method assigns rows for index access and columns for header access.  You can force the index association by first calling by_col!() or by_row!().



Rows may be set to an ::Array of values (which will inherit the table’s headers()) or a Row.



Columns may be set to a single value, which is copied to each row of the column, or an ::Array of values.  Arrays of values are assigned to rows top to bottom in row major order.  Excess values are ignored and if the ::Array does not have a value for each row the extra rows will receive a nil.



Assigning to an existing column or row clobbers the data.  Assigning to new columns creates them at the right end of the table.

    #by_col  
  



  

    

Returns a duplicate table object, in column mode.  This is handy for chaining in a single call without changing the table mode, but be aware that this method can consume a fair amount of memory for bigger data sets.



This method returns the duplicate table for chaining.  Don’t chain destructive methods (like []=()) this way though, since you are working with a duplicate.

def by_col
  self.class.new(@table.dup).by_col!
end


  








  

    #by_col!  
  



  

    

Switches the mode of this table to column mode.  All calls to indexing and iteration methods will work with columns until the mode is changed again.



This method returns the table and is safe to chain.

    #by_col_or_row!  
  



  

    

Switches the mode of this table to mixed mode.  All calls to indexing and iteration methods will use the default intelligent indexing system until the mode is changed again.  In mixed mode an index is assumed to be a row reference while anything else is assumed to be column access by headers.



This method returns the table and is safe to chain.

    #delete(*indexes_or_headers)  
  



  

    

Removes and returns the indicated columns or rows.  In the default mixed mode indices refer to rows and everything else is assumed to be a column headers.  Use by_col!() or by_row!() to force the lookup.

    #delete_if(&block)  
  



  

    

Removes any column or row for which the block returns true.  In the default mixed mode or row mode, iteration is the standard row major walking of rows.  In column mode, iteration will yield two element tuples containing the column name and an ::Array of values for that column.



This method returns the table for chaining.



If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned.

    end
  end

  self # for chaining

    #dig(index_or_header, *index_or_headers)  
  



  

    

Extracts the nested value specified by the sequence of index or header objects by calling dig at each step, returning nil if any intermediate step is nil.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/csv/table.rb', line 383

    value.dig(*index_or_headers)
  end
end


  








  

    #each(&block)  
  



  

    

In the default mixed mode or row mode, iteration is the standard row major walking of rows.  In column mode, iteration will yield two element tuples containing the column name and an ::Array of values for that column.

  else
    @table.each(&block)
  end

  self # for chaining
end


  








  

    #headers  
  



  

    

Returns the headers for the first row of this table (assumed to match all other rows). The headers ::Array passed to .new is returned for empty tables.

# File 'lib/csv/table.rb', line 139

    @headers.dup

    #inspect  
  



  

    

Shows the mode and size of this table in a US-ASCII ::String.

def inspect
  "#<#{self.class} mode:#{@mode} row_count:#{to_a.size}>".encode("US-ASCII")
end


  








  

    #push(*rows)  
  



  

    

A shortcut for appending multiple rows.  Equivalent to:



rows.each { |row| self << row }



This method returns the table for chaining.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/csv/table.rb', line 260



def push(*rows)
  rows.each { |row| self << row }

  self # for chaining
end


  








  

    #to_a  
  



  

    

Returns the table as an ::Array of Arrays.  Headers will be the first row, then all of the field rows will follow.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/csv/table.rb', line 353



def to_a
  array = [headers]
  @table.each do |row|
    array.push(row.fields) unless row.header_row?
  end

  array
end


  








  

    #to_csv(write_headers: true, **options)  
    Also known as: #to_s
  



  

    

Returns the table as a complete ::CSV String.  Headers will be listed first, then all of the field rows.



This method assumes you want the #headers(), unless you explicitly pass :write_headers => false.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/csv/table.rb', line 369



def to_csv(write_headers: true, **options)
  array = write_headers ? [headers.to_csv(options)] : []
  @table.each do |row|
    array.push(row.fields.to_csv(options)) unless row.header_row?
  end

  array.join("")
end


  








  

    #to_s(write_headers: true, **options)  
  



  

    

Alias for #to_csv.

alias_method :to_s, :to_csv


  








  

    #values_at(*indices_or_headers)  
  



  

    

The mixed mode default is to treat a list of indices as row access, returning the rows indicated.  Anything else is considered columnar access.  For columnar access, the return set has an ::Array for each row with the values indicated by the headers in each ::Array.  You can force column or row mode using by_col!() or by_row!().



You cannot mix column and row access.
