ScriptdrillCSV text to objects
A JavaScript exercise from Scriptdrill. Solve it with a code editor in your browser that runs your function against example and hidden tests, and it is checked the moment you submit.
The task
Parse simple CSV text (no quoted fields) into an array of objects. The first non-blank line holds the headers. Lines end with `\n` or `\r\n`, and blank lines are skipped. Headers and values are trimmed of surrounding spaces and stay strings. A row with fewer values than headers gets `""` for the missing ones.
What this exercise teaches
Splitting on /\r?\n/ handles both line endings, and filtering blank lines also removes the empty string a trailing newline leaves at the end. `vals[i] ?? ""` fills in missing trailing values.
A hint if you get stuck
Split on `/\r?\n/`, drop lines that are blank after trimming, take the first line as headers, then build one object per remaining line.
