Convert JSON to CSV Format

This is common thing now a days we have all data in JSON and when we have to sent it as a csv file we need to convert. Following code found stackoverflow.com, and credit goes to developer. I am putting into my blog for easy access and reference to my blog reader.

//logData is the JSON object having json data, rest of the code do the job.

const items = logData
const replacer = (key, value) => value === null ? '' : value 
const header = Object.keys(items[0])
let csv = items.map(row => header.map(fieldName => JSON.stringify(row[fieldName], replacer)).join(','))
csv.unshift(header.join(','))
csv = csv.join('\r\n')

console.log(csv)

The Fastest Way to Your Share Location from an iPhone

There are a couple ways to share your location, but this might be the quickest! Here's how to share your location from your iPhone in a text message using predictive text. For this tip, you'll have to have both Predictive Text and Location Services enabled. And if you're not connected to Wi-Fi, you'll have to enable Apple Maps too.

How to Share Directions in Apple & Google Maps

If you're meeting up with someone in a large area like a park or can't talk on the phone to give directions, sharing your location in a text message can really help! To do this:

Open a new or previously opened text chat with the person you want to share your location with.

1. Type the phrase "I'm at" and press the spacebar after the word "at".
2. In the predictive text area of the keyboard, tap Current Location.
3. The other person will be sent your location via Apple Maps.
4. Notice that only the map will show up in the text chat. You'll need to press the blue arrow to send the text message you've typed.

Calculated Birth Date To Age

There are number of way to calculate age in excel, below are the example to do calculation:

	A	B	C
1	8/18/1979
2

example 1:
=INT((today() - A1)/365)

example 2: Use DATEDIF() function
Note: Excel provides the DATEDIF function in order to support older workbooks from Lotus 1-2-3, possible in some case this does not work.

Syntex : DATEDIF(start_date,end_date,unit)

unit :
"Y" : The number of complete years in the period.
"M" : The number of complete months in the period.
"D" : The number of days in the period.
"MD": The difference between the days in start_date and end_date. The months and years of the dates are ignored.
Important: We don't recommend using the "MD" argument, as there are known limitations with it. See the known issues section below.
"YM": The difference between the months in start_date and end_date. The days and years of the dates are ignored
"YD": The difference between the days of start_date and end_date. The years of the dates are ignored.

=DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"Y") & " Years, " & DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"YM") & " Months, " & DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"MD") & " Days"

example 3: Use YEARFRAC()
SYNTEX : YEARFRAC(start_date, end_date, [basis])

YEARFRAC calculates the fraction of the year represented by the number of whole days between two dates (the start_date and the end_date). For instance, you can use YEARFRAC to identify the proportion of a whole year's benefits, or obligations to assign to a specific term.

Basis   Day count basis
0  : US (NASD) 30/360
1 : Actual/actual
2 : Actual/360
3 : Actual/365
4 : European 30/360

=ROUNDDOWN(YEARFRAC(A1, TODAY(), 1), 0)

Make all textbox on page as readonly using JQuery

Merge multiple .csv files available in same folder using CMD command

This is a trick which can save you a lot of time when working with a dataset spread across multiple CSV files. Using a simple CMD command it is possible to combine all the CSV’s into a single .CSV file.

that's it. Hope this will save your time.

Iterate/Loop over a JSON structure

This is an example for looping JSON structure and reading values.

var s = [{key:1,value:"abc"},{key:2,value:"def"},{key:3,value:"xyz"},{key:1,value:"pqr"}]

for(var i in s)
    console.log ("Key :" + s[i].key + " - Value :" + s[i].value)

//Output
Key :1 - Value :abc
Key :2 - Value :def
Key :3 - Value :xyz
Key :1 - Value :pqr
