Danfojs: powerful javascript data analysis toolkit

What is it?

Danfo.js is a javascript package that provides fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with "relational" or "labeled" data both easy and intuitive. It is heavily inspired by Pandas library, and provides a similar API. This means that users familiar with Pandas, can easily pick up danfo.js.

Main Features

Danfo.js is fast and supports Tensorflow.js tensors out of the box. This means you can convert Danfo data structure to Tensors.
Easy handling of missing-data (represented as NaN) in floating point as well as non-floating point data
Size mutability: columns can be inserted/deleted from DataFrame
Automatic and explicit alignment: objects can be explicitly aligned to a set of labels, or the user can simply ignore the labels and let Series, DataFrame, etc. automatically align the data for you in computations
Powerful, flexible groupby functionality to perform split-apply-combine operations on data sets, for both aggregating and transforming data
Make it easy to convert Arrays, JSONs, List or Objects, Tensors and differently-indexed data structures into DataFrame objects
Intelligent label-based slicing, fancy indexing, and querying of large data sets
Intuitive merging and joining data sets
Robust IO tools for loading data from flat-files (CSV, Json, Excel).
Powerful, flexible and intutive API for plotting DataFrames and Series interactively.
Timeseries-specific functionality: date range generation and date and time properties.
Robust data preprocessing functions like OneHotEncoders, LabelEncoders, and scalers like StandardScaler and MinMaxScaler are supported on DataFrame and Series

Installation

There are three ways to install and use Danfo.js in your application

For Nodejs applications, you can install the [danfojs-node]() version via package managers like yarn and/or npm:

npm install danfojs-node

or

yarn add danfojs-node

For client-side applications built with frameworks like React, Vue, Next.js, etc, you can install the [danfojs]() version:

npm install danfojs

or

yarn add danfojs

For use directly in HTML files, you can add the latest script tag from JsDelivr to your HTML file:

const file_url =
  "https://web.stanford.edu/class/archive/cs/cs109/cs109.1166/stuff/titanic.csv";

  .readCSV(file_url)
  .then((df) => {
    //prints the first five columns
    df.head().print();

    // Calculate descriptive statistics for all numerical columns
    df.describe().print();

    //prints the shape of the data
    console.log(df.shape);

    //prints all column names
    console.log(df.columns);

    // //prints the inferred dtypes of each column
    df.ctypes.print();

    //selecting a column by subsetting
    df["Name"].print();

    //drop columns by names
    let cols_2_remove = ["Age", "Pclass"];
    let df_drop = df.drop({ columns: cols_2_remove, axis: 1 });
    df_drop.print();

    //select columns by dtypes
    let str_cols = df_drop.selectDtypes(["string"]);

    num_cols.print();

    //add new column to Dataframe

    let new_vals = df["Fare"].round(1);
    df_drop.addColumn("fare_round", new_vals, { inplace: true });
    df_drop.print();

    df_drop["fare_round"].round(2).print(5);

    //prints the number of occurence each value in the column
    df_drop["Survived"].valueCounts().print();

    //print the last ten elementa of a DataFrame
    df_drop.tail(10).print();

    //prints the number of missing values in a DataFrame
    df_drop.isNa().sum().print();
  })
