Question 1

How to convert CSV to JSON with ramda-cli?

Question 2

ramda-cli vs jq: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

ramda-cli is better if you're familiar with functional programming and Ramda, offering interactive mode and npm integration, while jq is more standard for JSON with a dedicated query language but less extensible. Choose based on your team's expertise and need for live feedback.

Question 3

How to import lodash in ramda-cli?

Accepted Answer

Use the --import flag, e.g., 'ramda --import lodash' to make lodash available in the pipeline. You can alias it with --import lodash:_. Then, use lodash functions alongside Ramda in your expressions.

Question 4

Can ramda-cli handle real-time data streams?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the --transduce flag, it processes data incrementally as a transducer, allowing efficient streaming without loading everything into memory. This is useful for logs or API responses.

Question 5

How to debug a broken pipeline in ramda-cli?

Use the -v flag for verbose output to see compiled LiveScript, or import debugging modules like treis with --import treis to trace function calls. The interactive mode also helps by providing real-time feedback.

Question 6

Is ramda-cli good for data analysis tasks?

Accepted Answer

It excels at transformation and filtering of structured data like JSON or CSV, but for advanced statistical analysis, you might need to import specialized npm packages, as built-in functions are limited to Ramda's utility set.

Question 7

How to output results as a table?

Accepted Answer

Use --output-type table or -o table with the --compact flag for a denser view. Ensure your data is an array of objects or arrays; ramda-cli will automatically use keys as headers.
