# Table.from_csv()


Read a table from a CSV file. All values are read as strings.


Usage

``` python
Table.from_csv(path)
```


## Parameters


`path: str | Path`  
The file to read.


## Returns


`Table`  
The table read from the file.


## Examples

Save a table with [Table.to_csv()](Table.to_csv.md#tinytab.Table.to_csv), then read it back. CSV files don't record types, so every value comes back as a string:


``` python
import tempfile
from pathlib import Path

from tinytab import Table

path = Path(tempfile.mkdtemp()) / "menu.csv"
Table({"item": ["coffee", "bagel"], "price": [3.5, 2.25]}).to_csv(path)

Table.from_csv(path)
```


| item   | price |
|--------|-------|
| coffee | 3.5   |
| bagel  | 2.25  |
