Need a way to use CSV as the data source

enjaysea

The reports our company will be printing can be extremely long. Expressing tabular data as JSON would be quite inefficient compared to CSV.

How can I use CSV data as the data source?

We're just about to purchase a license and this is something I need to get working to convince my boss to buy into this.

You can send your data in a single JSON prop and then use handlebars to split it and iterate

{
    "myCsvData": "a;b;c\nx;y;z"
}

However, my guess is that chrome/pdf printing is in the end the most time-consuming operation and JSON/CSV inefficiency is just insignificant to deal with.
