CSV File Manipulator

Do you have some csv data? Have you ever wanted to upload that data to a server and then look at it in your browser? Well, you have come to the right place.

To get started, head on over to the upload page to upload your favorite csv file. Don't worry if you can't find one, we have a couple you can borrow.

After you have uploaded / selected some data to work with, you can look at it on our data page. From there you have the option to add a new column to the data on our add column page. The column you add uses a formula that you provide to derive the column data from one or more of the existing columns.

Thanks for visiting, and enjoy the CSV File Manipulator!

Tech Specs

• Vanilla PHP 7. The specs for this app suggested I use vanilla PHP instead of a framework, so that's what I did. The only class that I did not develop from a blank page was the autoloader class. That was a class I had laying around from another project, but I developed it from a blank page, just not during this project. The structure of the project is very Laravel-ish. I have routes defined in index.php that could be direct drop-ins for a Laravel project. The routes are mapped to a Pages controller that does a little logic and then spits out a view. The views are php/html files that are like templates.
• Javascript. The only Javascript I "wrote" for this app was copied and pasted from the mdbootstrap site to initialize the data table. There is some Javascript included for the app, but that is all for bootstrap.
• Html / CSS. I am not a designer, so bootstrap does all the heavy lifting in terms of making the presentation acceptable. I am using the material design version of bootstrap, but the classes I chose to use are mostly the regular bootstrap classes.
• Git / Github. The project uses git and github. There is a link in the upper right hand corner to view the source. I directly downloaded mdbootstrap rather than use npm. I have excluded the bootstrap files from the repository, so if you clone it, you will need to download mdbootstrap as an additional step.
