CSV (Comma Separated Value) is the most used file format to store and share the data. It is widely used in web applications to export and import dynamic data.
Step1: Create Golang File To Write Data to CSV File
We will create main.go
file and import necessary packages. We will import encoding/csv
package to write data to CSV file.
package main import ( "encoding/csv" "log" "os" )
Step2: Create Data Array to Write to CSV File
We will create a multi dimensional array with employee data to write to CSV file . We will iterate this array and save it to a employee.csv
file.
empData := [][]string{ {"Name", "City", "Skills"}, {"Smith", "Newyork", "Java"}, {"William", "Paris", "Golang"}, {"Rose", "London", "PHP"}, }
Step3: Create CSV File
We will create the CSV file using os
package from Go
. After opening the CSV file, we will handle functionality to write to CSV file and close the file.
csvFile, err := os.Create("employee.csv") if err != nil { log.Fatalf("failed creating file: %s", err) } csvFile.Close()
Step4: Write Data to CSV File
We will use csv.NewWriter()
method to write to CSV file. We will loop through employee data array and write rows to CSV file.
csvwriter := csv.NewWriter(csvFile) for _, empRow := range empData { _ = csvwriter.Write(empRow) } csvwriter.Flush()
Step4: Complete Code to write data to the CSV File in Golang
Here is the complete code to write data to the CSV file using Golang.
package main import ( "encoding/csv" "log" "os" ) empData := [][]string{ {"Name", "City", "Skills"}, {"Smith", "Newyork", "Java"}, {"William", "Paris", "Golang"}, {"Rose", "London", "PHP"}, } csvFile, err := os.Create("employee.csv") if err != nil { log.Fatalf("failed creating file: %s", err) } csvwriter := csv.NewWriter(csvFile) for _, empRow := range empData { _ = csvwriter.Write(empRow) } csvwriter.Flush() csvFile.Close()
The result will be:
Name, City, Skills Smith, Newyork, Java William, Paris, Golang Rose, London, PHP
