csv generator

Spreadsheet-friendly information about your service. I'm starting with resources.csv, which returns information like this:

method,path
POST,/v1/account-service/v1/account-service/accounts/sign-in,Sign in (log in)
POST,/v1/account-service/v1/account-service/accounts,Sign up (register)
GET,/v1/account-service/v1/account-service/accounts/:account_id/settings,

what if input already contains a quote?

[mchimirev]

@benwaffle this is not about input containing a quote, this is about input containing a comma. Description could easily contain a comma, and I think this is good future-proofing

[benwaffle]

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I agree that this part is needed. But let's say the input already has a quote, e.g. hello, "world". I believe your code would output "hello, "world"". That would cause problems. The way to solve it (by rfc4180) is to replace each double quote (") inside the string with two quotes (""), resulting in "hello, ""world"""

[mchimirev]

Right, now I understand your point. Thank you. I will update to handle quotes.

I would use Apache [commons-csv] to handle CSV output

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-csv/

[mchimirev]

yeah, that's a good idea, i'll try to plug it in.

@sullis @benwaffle - it now uses commons-csv
