A bug in parsing

See original GitHub issue

const { Parser,transforms: { unwind } } = require('json2csv');
 
const myCars = [
 {
    "carModel": "Porsche",
    "price": 30000,
    "items": [
      {
        "name": "airbag",
        "items": [
          {
            "position": "left",
            "color": "white"
          }, {
            "position": "right",
            "color": "gray"
          }
        ]
      }, {
        "name": "dashboard",
        "items": [
          {
            "position": "left",
            "color": "gray"
          }, {
            "position": "right",
            "color": "black"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
];
 
const fields = ['carModel', 'price', 'items.name', 'items.color', 'items.items.position', 'items.items.color'];
const transforms = [unwind(['items', 'items.items'])];
const json2csvParser = new Parser({ fields, transforms });
const csv = json2csvParser.parse(myCars);
 console.log(csv);

output:

"carModel","price","items.name","items.color","items.items.position","items.items.color"
"Porsche",30000,"airbag",,"left","white"
"Porsche",30000,"airbag",,"right","gray"
"Porsche",30000,"dashboard",,"left","gray"
"Porsche",30000,"dashboard",,"right","black"

But if I remove one item from myCars[0].items[]

const { Parser,transforms: { unwind } } = require('json2csv');
 
const myCars = [
 {
    "carModel": "Porsche",
    "price": 30000,
    "items": [
      {
        "name": "airbag",
        "items": [
          {
            "position": "left",
            "color": "white"
          }, {
            "position": "right",
            "color": "gray"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
];
 
const fields = ['carModel', 'price', 'items.name', 'items.color', 'items.items.position', 'items.items.color'];
const transforms = [unwind(['items', 'items.items'])];
const json2csvParser = new Parser({ fields, transforms });
const csv = json2csvParser.parse(myCars);
console.log(csv);

output:

"carModel","price","items.name","items.color","items.items.position","items.items.color"
"Porsche",30000,"airbag",,,

Not printing “items.items.position”,“items.items.color”

Not sure if it’s worth doing a release just for a small documentation fix.

But I don’t think that we will have anything else to release anytime soon.
