## Overview
|
|
|
|
`CSVToDocument` converts one or more CSV files into a text document.
|
|
|
|
The component uses UTF-8 encoding by default, but you may specify a different encoding if needed during initialization.
|
|
You can optionally attach metadata to each document with a `meta` parameter when running the component.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### On its own
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from haystack.components.converters.csv import CSVToDocument
|
|
|
|
converter = CSVToDocument()
|
|
results = converter.run(
|
|
sources=["sample.csv"],
|
|
meta={"date_added": datetime.now().isoformat()},
|
|
)
|
|
documents = results["documents"]
|
|
|
|
print(documents[0].content)
|
|
# 'col1,col2\now1,row1\nrow2row2\n'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### In a pipeline
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from haystack import Pipeline
|
|
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
|
|
from haystack.components.converters import CSVToDocument
|
|
from haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner
|
|
from haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter
|
|
from haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter
|
|
|
|
document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
|
|
|
|
pipeline = Pipeline()
|
|
pipeline.add_component("converter", CSVToDocument())
|
|
pipeline.add_component("cleaner", DocumentCleaner())
|
|
pipeline.add_component(
|
|
"splitter",
|
|
DocumentSplitter(split_by="sentence", split_length=5),
|
|
)
|
|
pipeline.add_component("writer", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))
|
|
pipeline.connect("converter", "cleaner")
|
|
pipeline.connect("cleaner", "splitter")
|
|
pipeline.connect("splitter", "writer")
|
|
|
|
pipeline.run({"converter": {"sources": file_names}})
|
|
```
