=== Output Formats

You can generate \CSV output to a \String, to a \File (via its path), or to an \IO stream.

==== Generating to a \String

You can generate \CSV output to a \String, with or without headers.

===== Recipe: Generate to \String with Headers

Use class method CSV.generate with option +headers+ to generate to a \String.

This example uses method CSV#<< to append the rows
that are to be generated:
  output_string = CSV.generate('', headers: ['Name', 'Value'], write_headers: true) do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "Name,Value\nFoo,0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"

===== Recipe: Generate to \String Without Headers

Use class method CSV.generate without option +headers+ to generate to a \String.

This example uses method CSV#<< to append the rows
that are to be generated:
  output_string = CSV.generate do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "Foo,0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"

==== Generating to a \File

You can generate /CSV data to a \File, with or without headers.

===== Recipe: Generate to \File with Headers

Use class method CSV.open with option +headers+ generate to a \File.

This example uses method CSV#<< to append the rows
that are to be generated:
  path = 't.csv'
  CSV.open(path, 'w', headers: ['Name', 'Value'], write_headers: true) do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  p File.read(path) # => "Name,Value\nFoo,0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"

===== Recipe: Generate to \File Without Headers

Use class method CSV.open without option +headers+ to generate to a \File.

This example uses method CSV#<< to append the rows
that are to be generated:
  path = 't.csv'
  CSV.open(path, 'w') do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  p File.read(path) # => "Foo,0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"

==== Generating to an \IO Stream

You can generate \CSV data to an \IO stream, with or without headers.

==== Recipe: Generate to \IO Stream with Headers

Use class method CSV.new with option +headers+ to generate \CSV data to an \IO stream:
  path = 't.csv'
  File.open(path, 'w') do |file|
    csv = CSV.new(file, headers: ['Name', 'Value'], write_headers: true)
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  p File.read(path) # => "Name,Value\nFoo,0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"

===== Recipe: Generate to \IO Stream Without Headers

Use class method CSV.new without option +headers+ to generate \CSV data to an \IO stream:
  path = 't.csv'
  File.open(path, 'w') do |file|
    csv = CSV.new(file)
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  p File.read(path) # => "Foo,0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"

=== Converting Fields

You can use _write_ _converters_ to convert fields when generating \CSV.

==== Recipe: Filter Generated Field Strings

Use option <tt>:write_converters</tt> and a custom converter to convert field values when generating \CSV.

This example defines and uses a custom write converter to strip whitespace from generated fields:
  strip_converter = proc {|field| field.respond_to?(:strip) ? field.strip : field }
  output_string = CSV.generate(write_converters: strip_converter) do |csv|
    csv << [' foo ', 0]
    csv << [' bar ', 1]
    csv << [' baz ', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"

==== Recipe: Specify Multiple Write Converters

Use option <tt>:write_converters</tt> and multiple custom converters
to convert field values when generating \CSV.

This example defines and uses two custom write converters to strip and upcase generated fields:
  strip_converter = proc {|field| field.respond_to?(:strip) ? field.strip : field }
  upcase_converter = proc {|field| field.respond_to?(:upcase) ? field.upcase : field }
  converters = [strip_converter, upcase_converter]
  output_string = CSV.generate(write_converters: converters) do |csv|
    csv << [' foo ', 0]
    csv << [' bar ', 1]
    csv << [' baz ', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "FOO,0\nBAR,1\nBAZ,2\n"

=== RFC 4180 Compliance

By default, \CSV generates data that is compliant with
{RFC 4180}[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4180]
with respect to:
- Column separator.
- Quote character.

==== Row Separator

RFC 4180 specifies the row separator CRLF (Ruby <tt>"\r\n"</tt>).

===== Recipe: Generate Compliant Row Separator

For strict compliance, use option +:row_sep+ to specify row separator <tt>"\r\n"</tt>:
  output_string = CSV.generate('', row_sep: "\r\n") do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "Foo,0\r\nBar,1\r\nBaz,2\r\n"

===== Recipe: Generate Non-Compliant Row Separator

For data with non-compliant row separators, use option +:row_sep+ with a different value:
This example source uses semicolon (<tt>";'</tt>) as its row separator:
  output_string = CSV.generate('', row_sep: ";") do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "Foo,0;Bar,1;Baz,2;"

==== Column Separator

RFC 4180 specifies column separator COMMA (Ruby <tt>","</tt>).

===== Recipe: Generate Compliant Column Separator

Because the \CSV default comma separator is <tt>","</tt>,
you need not specify option +:col_sep+ for compliant data:
  output_string = CSV.generate('') do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "Foo,0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"

===== Recipe: Generate Non-Compliant Column Separator

For data with non-compliant column separators, use option +:col_sep+.
This example source uses TAB (<tt>"\t"</tt>) as its column separator:
  output_string = CSV.generate('', col_sep: "\t") do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "Foo\t0\nBar\t1\nBaz\t2\n"

==== Quotes

IFC 4180 allows most fields to be quoted or not.
By default, \CSV does not quote most fields.

However, a field containing the current row separator, column separator,
or quote character is automatically quoted, producing IFC 4180 compliance:
  # Field contains row separator.
  output_string = CSV.generate('') do |csv|
    row_sep = csv.row_sep
    csv << ["Foo#{row_sep}Foo", 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "\"Foo\nFoo\",0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"
  # Field contains column separator.
  output_string = CSV.generate('') do |csv|
    col_sep = csv.col_sep
    csv << ["Foo#{col_sep}Foo", 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "\"Foo,Foo\",0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"
  # Field contains quote character.
  output_string = CSV.generate('') do |csv|
    quote_char = csv.quote_char
    csv << ["Foo#{quote_char}Foo", 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "\"Foo\"\"Foo\",0\nBar,1\nBaz,2\n"

===== Recipe: Quote All Fields

Use option +:force_quotes+ to force quoted fields:
  output_string = CSV.generate('', force_quotes: true) do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "\"Foo\",\"0\"\n\"Bar\",\"1\"\n\"Baz\",\"2\"\n"

===== Recipe: Quote Empty Fields

Use option +:quote_empty+ to force quoting for empty fields:
  output_string = CSV.generate('', quote_empty: true) do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "Foo,0\nBar,1\n\"\",2\n"

===== Recipe: Generate Compliant Quote Character

RFC 4180 specifies quote character DQUOTE (Ruby <tt>"\""</tt>).

Because the \CSV default quote character is also <tt>"\""</tt>,
you need not specify option +:quote_char+ for compliant data:
  output_string = CSV.generate('', force_quotes: true) do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "\"Foo\",\"0\"\n\"Bar\",\"1\"\n\"Baz\",\"2\"\n"

===== Recipe: Generate Non-Compliant Quote Character

For data with non-compliant quote characters, use option +:quote_char+.
This example source uses SQUOTE (<tt>"'"</tt>) as its quote character:
  output_string = CSV.generate('', quote_char: "'", force_quotes: true) do |csv|
    csv << ['Foo', 0]
    csv << ['Bar', 1]
    csv << ['Baz', 2]
  end
  output_string # => "'Foo','0'\n'Bar','1'\n'Baz','2'\n"
