csv-parser VS astro

Inside the API route, convert the CSV file to JSON with csv-parser

The author of the library probably has learned, the hard way many many lessons (and probably also decided to prioritize some of the requested issues / feature requests along the way).

The above is not meant as a ding on the project itself and I am sure it is used successfully by many people. The point here is that your claim that you can easily write a csv parser in 200 lines of code does not hold water. It's anything but easy and you should use a battle tested library and not reinvent the wheel.

If this were me, I'd probably add a getStaticProps function to the page, and then use the csv-parser library within this function to convert the CSV file into JSON data, and then return that JSON data from the getStaticProps function so the page can access it as props.

I started with using the external library csv-parser. However, since it is basically a wrapper around the base Node.js technologies I listed above I has the same problems working with my data that I will list below. I eventually uninstalled it and wrote my own light-weight version.

I have found this CSV parser package and it almost works exactly like I need it. I've ran into 2 issues.

I was using the [csv-parser](https://github.com/mafintosh/csv-parser) library to handle csv parsing in node. The file can be huge ranging from 50,000 to 500,000 lines, maybe even larger. I had to perform some computations on the csv, after this is submitted to the server for that I was thinking of dividing the csv into chunks which I could then provide to worker threads for performing the computation. The worker thread would get the number of lines to skip and then start reading the lines after that up to a particular limit. I create a read stream and pass the csv-parser in with the option of number of lines to skip. I tried to perform some benchmarks on it but could find no visible benefits between skipping lines and not skipping lines. Even if I read the whole file it was sometimes faster than reading the ending 30,000 lines.

We'll use several interesting technologies to achieve this: Strapi CMS to take care of the content management and backend, Astro which is a great new technology for quickly creating blazing fast frontend apps, and ChatGPT to provide the article summaries.

Case study 4: Astro

Astro is the new hot new web framework on the block. All the cool kids are using it. I've recently given up, drank the Kool-Aid, and gone all in on it.

Built with Supabase, Astro, Unreal Speech, Stable Diffusion, Replicate, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Astro to use every framework at once instead of just react? https://astro.build/

Depending on the stack of the repository you are cloning, you might have to install additional dependencies. For this demo, I'm using my own website, which is a static website built with Astro.js. It which requires to have Node.js installed and Yarn for package manager.

Maybe a bit too elaborate for your taste, but I've used https://astro.build/ and loved every bit of it.

Astro is an open-source JavaScript framework known for its versatility, performance, and new approach to web development. It enables developers to create fast, modern, content-rich web applications and sites using the "Bring Your Own Framework" (BYOF) model.
