CSV::Table#to_a

table.to_a → array_of_arrays

# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.1.3/lib/csv/table.rb, line 979
def to_a
  array = [headers]
  @table.each do |row|
    array.push(row.fields) unless row.header_row?
  end

  array
end

Returns the table as an Array of Arrays; the headers are in the first row:

Example

source = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true)
table.to_a # => [["Name", "Value"], ["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"]]
