node-red-data-logger 0.1.0

Logs data stored in JSON object into a CSV file with columns extracted from JSON object.

npm install node-red-data-logger

node-red-contrib-csv-logger

A Node-RED Node that logs data stored in JSON object into a CSV file with columns extracted from JSON object.

This was first created by senselik, however I (Kepler7894i) needed to make some changes to the very useful npm package they provided (node-red-data-logger) - and have since decided to re-release it. Many thanks to the original creator.

Install

Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install

npm install node-red-data-logger

Usage

• Data to be logged should be passed in msg.payload as a JSON object. The header row will be populated with the property names of the JSON object on log file creation.
• The Columns property in node properties can be used as a filter if filled with JSON object's property names as comma separated string. If left empty, all properties of JSON object in msg.payload will be logged to file.
• msg.path should be passed in for setting the location where the file will be logged into.
• msg.fileName should be passed in to set the file name of the log file.
• msg.slashType can be passed to set whether files will be created in directories using forward("/") or back("") slashes, enabling override in case of OS misdetection - no entry will leave to default
