parse stream csv file to create another csv file with only vanilla NodeJS (readline)

csv2csvStream.js

const readline = require('readline');
const fs = require('fs');
const uuid = require('uuid/v4');

const rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: fs.createReadStream('./input.csv'),
  output: fs.createWriteStream('./output.csv'),
});

rl
  .on('line', function convert(line) {
    rl.pause();
    try {
      const [firstname, lastname, hobby] = line.split(';');
      this.output.write([uuid(), `${firstname} ${lastname}`, hobby, '\n'].join(';'));
      rl.resume();
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('error handling line %j', line);
      rl.resume();
    }
  })
  .on('close', function onClose() {
    console.log(`Successfully streamed`);
    this.output.end();
  });

This .split is VERY dangerous. Take the following example, your code won't work:

const line = 'foo;"bar;baz";bacon';
const erroneous = line.split(";");
// erroneous: ['foo', '"bar', 'baz"', 'bacon']
// expected: ['foo', '"bar;baz"', 'bacon']
