data-directory
This is a Node module for loading structured data from a directory in the style of Jekyll's _data
. Install it with:
npm install data-directory
Directory Structure
Your directory should contain one or more files with the following extensions:
.csv
for comma-separated values.json
for JSON.yaml
or.yml
for YAML
You can read them all into a single data structure like this:
var loadData = ;;
Nested Directories
Nested directories will introduce new levels in the data structure. For instance, if you data directory looks like this:
├─ bar.json
└─ baz
└─ qux.csv
Then it should parse into a JSON structure that looks like:
"bar": // contents of bar.json "baz": "qux": // rows in baz/qux.csv
