alwaysQuote option doesn't quote null fields

[deakinhead]

Hi. I'm using csv writer to integrate with a warehouse and they require that all values, including null values, in the csv be double quoted. I set the alwaysQuote option to true, but it looks like null values still get output as

,,,,,

rather than

,"","","","",

Would it be possible to add a new option to double quote null values or to update the existing option so that it works that way?

Hi @deakinhead , thanks for the suggestion. I want to avoid making a breaking change at this stage; so probably need to introduce a new flag. Naming would be a struggle. Wish alwaysQuote gave quotes even for empty fields...

quoteEmptyFields ?

@ryu1kn Thanks for the quick response.
quoteEmptyFields sounds good to me.

How long do you think it would take to add?

Hi @ryu1kn , i have opened a PR to add this param into the writers :)

#97

This makes the writer accept quoteEmptyFields param, that makes nullish (null/undefined) values to be written with empty double-quote "" on the CSV generation.
