The documentation in Github is for the next release, 4.0, which will introduce a lot of changes and goodness.

For the current release, you should follow the instructions in npm.

The main change is that instead of const csv = json2csv(myCars, { fields }); you should do const csv = json2csv({ data: myCars, fields });

@udanpe please confirm if that was your issue.

just used the library & const csv = json2csv({ data: myCars, fields }); helped. thanks mate!

[juanjoDiaz]

I'll keep this open until the 4.0 release in case anyone else gets into the same confusion.

@juanjoDiaz const csv = json2csv({ data: myCars, fields }); Its works. Thanks.
