CSV::Row

A CSV::Row is part Array and part Hash. It retains an order for the fields and allows duplicates just as an Array would, but also allows you to access fields by name just as you could if they were in a Hash.

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

Attributes

row[R]

Internal data format used to compare equality.

Public Class Methods

new(headers, fields, header_row = false) click to toggle source

Constructs a new CSV::Row from headers and fields, which are expected to be Arrays. If one Array is shorter than the other, it will be padded with nil objects.

The optional header_row parameter can be set to true to indicate, via CSV::Row.header_row?() and CSV::Row.field_row?(), that this is a header row. Otherwise, the row assumes to be a field row.

A CSV::Row object supports the following Array methods through delegation:

  • empty?()

  • length()

  • size()

def initialize(headers, fields, header_row = false)
  @header_row = header_row
  headers.each { |h| h.freeze if h.is_a? String }

  # handle extra headers or fields
  @row = if headers.size >= fields.size
    headers.zip(fields)
  else
    fields.zip(headers).each(&:reverse!)
  end
end
            

Public Instance Methods

row << [header, value] → self click to toggle source
row << hash → self
row << value → self

Adds a field to self; returns self:

If the argument is a 2-element Array [header, value], a field is added with the given header and value:

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row << ['NAME', 'Bat']
row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Foo" "Name":"Bar" "Name":"Baz" "NAME":"Bat">

If the argument is a Hash, each key-value pair is added as a field with header key and value value.

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row << {NAME: 'Bat', name: 'Bam'}
row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Foo" "Name":"Bar" "Name":"Baz" NAME:"Bat" name:"Bam">

Otherwise, the given value is added as a field with no header.

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row << 'Bag'
row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Foo" "Name":"Bar" "Name":"Baz" nil:"Bag">
 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/csv/row.rb, line 310

    @row << arg
  elsif arg.is_a?(Hash)                  # append header and name pairs
    arg.each { |pair| @row << pair }
  else                                   # append field value
    @row << [nil, arg]
  end

  self  # for chaining
end
            
==(other) click to toggle source

Returns true if this row contains the same headers and fields in the same order as other.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/csv/row.rb, line 522
def ==(other)
  return @row == other.row if other.is_a? CSV::Row

[](header_or_index, minimum_index = 0) click to toggle source
Alias for: field
row[index] = value → value click to toggle source
row[header, offset] = value → value
row[header] = value → value

Assigns the field value for the given index or header; returns value.


Assign field value by Integer index:

source = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row[0] = 'Bat'
row[1] = 3
row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Bat" "Value":3>

Counts backward from the last column if index is negative:

row[-1] = 4
row[-2] = 'Bam'
row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Bam" "Value":4>

Extends the row with nil:nil if positive index is not in the row:

row[4] = 5
row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"bad" "Value":4 nil:nil nil:nil nil:5>

Raises IndexError if negative index is too small (too far from zero).


Assign field value by header (first found):

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row['Name'] = 'Bat'
row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Bat" "Name":"Bar" "Name":"Baz">

Assign field value by header, ignoring offset leading fields:

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row['Name', 2] = 4
row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Foo" "Name":"Bar" "Name":4>

Append new field by (new) header:

source = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row['New'] = 6
row# => #<CSV::Row "Name":"foo" "Value":"0" "New":6>
 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/csv/row.rb, line 260
def []=(*args)
  value = args.pop

  if args.first.is_a? Integer
    if @row[args.first].nil?  # extending past the end with index
      @row[args.first] = [nil, value]
      @row.map! { |pair| pair.nil? ? [nil, nil] : pair }
    else                      # normal index assignment
      @row[args.first][1] = value
    end
  else
    index = index(*args)
    if index.nil?             # appending a field
      self << [args.first, value]
    else                      # normal header assignment
      @row[index][1] = value
    end
  end
end
            
delete(index) → [header, value] or nil click to toggle source
delete(header) → [header, value] or empty_array
delete(header, offset) → [header, value] or empty_array

Removes a specified field from self; returns the 2-element Array [header, value] if the field exists.

If an Integer argument index is given, removes and returns the field at offset index, or returns nil if the field does not exist:

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.delete(1) # => ["Name", "Bar"]
row.delete(50) # => nil

Otherwise, if the single argument header is given, removes and returns the first-found field with the given header, of returns a new empty Array if the field does not exist:

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.delete('Name') # => ["Name", "Foo"]
row.delete('NAME') # => []

If argument header and Integer argument offset are given, removes and returns the first-found field with the given header whose index is at least as large as offset:

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.delete('Name', 1) # => ["Name", "Bar"]
row.delete('NAME', 1) # => []
 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/csv/row.rb, line 372
def delete(header_or_index, minimum_index = 0)
  if header_or_index.is_a? Integer                 # by index
    @row.delete_at(header_or_index)
  elsif i = index(header_or_index, minimum_index)  # by header
    @row.delete_at(i)
  else
    [ ]
  end
end
            
delete_if {|header, value| ... } → self click to toggle source

Removes fields from self as selected by the block; returns self.

Removes each field for which the block returns a truthy value:

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.delete_if {|header, value| value.start_with?('B') } # => true
row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Foo">
row.delete_if {|header, value| header.start_with?('B') } # => false

If no block is given, returns a new Enumerator:

row.delete_if # => #<Enumerator: #<CSV::Row "Name":"Foo">:delete_if>
 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/csv/row.rb, line 397
def delete_if(&block)
  return enum_for(__method__) { size } unless block_given?

  @row.delete_if(&block)

  self  # for chaining
end
            
dig(index_or_header, *identifiers) → object click to toggle source

Finds and returns the object in nested object that is specified by index_or_header and specifiers.

The nested objects may be instances of various classes. See Dig Methods.

Examples:

source = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.dig(1) # => "0"
row.dig('Value') # => "0"
row.dig(5) # => nil
 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/csv/row.rb, line 582
def dig(index_or_header, *indexes)
  value = field(index_or_header)
  if value.nil?
    nil
  elsif indexes.empty?
    value
  else
    unless value.respond_to?(:dig)
      raise TypeError, "#{value.class} does not have \#dig method"
    end
    value.dig(*indexes)
  end
end
            
each(&block) click to toggle source

Yields each pair of the row as header and field tuples (much like iterating over a Hash). This method returns the row for chaining.

If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned.

Support for Enumerable.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/csv/row.rb, line 508
def each(&block)
  return enum_for(__method__) { size } unless block_given?

  @row.each(&block)

  self  # for chaining
end
            
Also aliased as: each_pair
each_pair(&block) click to toggle source
Alias for: each
fetch(header) click to toggle source
fetch(header, default)
fetch(header) {|row| ... }

Returns the field value as specified by header.


With the single argument header, returns the field value for that header (first found):

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.fetch('Name') # => "Foo"

Raises exception KeyError if the header does not exist.


With arguments header and default given, returns the field value for the header (first found) if the header exists, otherwise returns default:

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.fetch('Name', '') # => "Foo"
row.fetch(:nosuch, '') # => ""

With argument header and a block given, returns the field value for the header (first found) if the header exists; otherwise calls the block and returns its return value:

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.fetch('Name') {|header| fail 'Cannot happen' } # => "Foo"
row.fetch(:nosuch) {|header| "Header '#{header} not found'" } # => "Header 'nosuch not found'"
 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/csv/row.rb, line 179
def fetch(header, *varargs)
  raise ArgumentError, "Too many arguments" if varargs.length > 1
  pair = @row.assoc(header)
  if pair
    pair.last
  else
    if block_given?
      yield header
    elsif varargs.empty?
      raise KeyError, "key not found: #{header}"
    else
      varargs.first
    end
  end
end
            
field(index) click to toggle source
field(header)
field(header, offset)

Returns the field value for the given index or header.


Fetch field value by Integer index:

source = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.field(0) # => "foo"
row.field(1) # => "bar"

Counts backward from the last column if index is negative:

row.field(-1) # => "0"
row.field(-2) # => "foo"

Returns nil if index is out of range:

row.field(2) # => nil
row.field(-3) # => nil

Fetch field value by header (first found):

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.field('Name') # => "Foo"

Fetch field value by header, ignoring offset leading fields:

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.field('Name', 2) # => "Baz"

Returns nil if the header does not exist.

fields(*specifiers) click to toggle source

Returns field values per the given specifiers, which may be any mixture of:

  • Integer index.

  • Range of Integer indexes.

  • 2-element Array containing a header and offset.

  • Header.

  • Range of headers.

For specifier in one of the first four cases above, returns the result of self.field(specifier); see field.

Although there may be any number of specifiers, the examples here will illustrate one at a time.

When the specifier is an Integer index, returns self.field(index)L

source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.fields(1) # => ["Bar"]

When the specifier is a Range of Integers range, returns self.field(range):

row.fields(1..2) # => ["Bar", "Baz"]

When the specifier is a 2-element Array array, returns self.field(array)L

row.fields('Name', 1) # => ["Foo", "Bar"]

When the specifier is a header header, returns self.field(header)L

row.fields('Name') # => ["Foo"]

When the specifier is a Range of headers range, forms a new Range new_range from the indexes of range.start and range.end, and returns self.field(new_range):

source = "Name,NAME,name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
row = table[0]
row.fields('Name'..'NAME') # => ["Foo", "Bar"]

Returns all fields if no argument given:
