Wrong placement in multi-array set

Here’s my code

var test = [
    {
      "name" : "John",
      "clases" : [
        {
          "year" : 2016,
          "grade" : "1st",
          "payment":[
            {
              "type":"monthly",
              "status":"done"
            },
            {
              "type":"yearly",
              "status":"done"
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          "year" : 2017,
          "grade" : "2nd",
          "payment":[
            {
              "type":"monthly",
              "status":"in progress"
            },
            {
              "type":"yearly",
              "status":"done"
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      
    },
    {
      "name" : "Andrew",
      "clases" : [
        {
          "year" : 2017,
          "grade" : "1nd",
          "payment":[
            {
              "type":"monthly",
              "status":"in progress"
            },
            {
              "type":"yearly",
              "status":"in progress"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    },
    
  ]

jsonexport(test,function(err, csv){
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    console.log(csv);
});

and here is the output

name,clases.year,clases.grade,clases.payment.type,clases.payment.status
John,2016,1st,monthly,done
,2017,2nd,yearly,done
,,,monthly,in progress
,,,yearly,done
Andrew,2017,1nd,monthly,in progress
,,,yearly,in progress

as you can see, the values are not supposed to be there. It should drop on the next line. And is there any option to force rewrite values so it would be look like this?

Thank you…

My thought is that it will get awfully ugly and convoluted for arrays inside arrays, or array of objects with arrays.

I wouldn’t approach this one as a catering company. Don’t do, a change like this needs an accompanying document type. CSV doesn’t have metadata by nature. You best stick to as little format variations as possible.

We can do anything, don’t think we should for consistency sake

I abolsutely think this issue should be closed.

@saipallavi, I have starred your example over for quite sometime. I disagree with you, I see expected result. A child-arrary’s first row belongs with-in the parent row. If jsonexport did what you are asking for, it’d be a hard breaking change. Your “I need the output like this” example, would actually mean you have a 2nd parent who’s CODE, GROUP_NAME, and GROUP_DESC are all null but has a 3 child length array (not to mention row 1 has no children).

Lets close this. Wouldn’t even offer an option to pivot the behavior to keep tight format standards
