TypeError: parse is not a function on csv-parse

I ran into this issue after setting up a simple app using:

Code is:

const parse = require('csv-parse');
const fs = require('fs');

const results = [];

fs.createReadStream('kepler_data.csv')
    .pipe(parse({
        comment: "#",
        columns: true,
    }))
    .on('data', (data) => {
        results.push(data);
    })
    .on('error', (err) => {
        console.log(err);
    })
    .on('end', () => {
        console.log(results);
        console.log('Done!');
    });

Running it resulted in:

index.js:7
    .pipe(parse({
          ^

Searching SO gave similar results but no actual solution.

Use:

const {parse} = require('csv-parse');

instead of :

const parse = require('csv-parse');

Destructuring the parse function worked for me.

const {parse} = require("csv-parse");

Try destructuring the actual functions from the import.
Instead of const parse = require('csv-parse');
Use: const { parse } = require('csv-parse');

const fs = require("fs");
const {parse} = require("csv-parse");

const results = [];

fs.createReadStream("./kepler_data.csv").pipe(parse({
   comment: '#',
   columns: true,
})).on('data', (data) => {
   results.push(data)
}).on('end', () => {
   console.log(results);
   console.log('done 🔥');
})

This works for me

  1. Try const {parse} = require('parse') instead of const parse = require('parse') OR
  2. Try csv-parse version instead "csv-parse": "^3.0.0" of "csv-parse": "^5.3.0"

csv-parse

What worked for me was changing from "csv-parse" to "csv-parser"

Use this in package.json

"csv-parser": "^3.0.0"

Instead of:

"csv-parse": "v5.0.4"

get the parse function it self in the csv-parse module by doing const {parse} = require("csv-parse");

and call .pipe(parse())

Instead of using

const { parse } = require('csv-parse');

Try Following

Solution was simple. If parse or any other function is not recognized with node require, try getting the function itself as:

const { parse } = require('csv-parse');

Something worth noting it the color scheme that emphasizes the difference between the const parse color = white, and the usage of the function parse inside pipe = green.

errornous call

And the colors without error where const { parse } is green, matchin the const call.
