CsvSourceGeneration 0.0.4

Static CSV Source Generator

This package allows for generating static C# classes allowing for easy, type safe and performant row-wise access to the data.

Usage

Add a package reference to your project:

    <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="CsvSourceGeneration" Version="0.0.2" />
    </ItemGroup>

Then include a file with the .csv extension:

    <ItemGroup>
        <AdditionalFiles Include="CsvFiles\MyFile.csv" />
    </ItemGroup>

Entry,Message
First,Hello World!

When the project is built next, the data contained in the csv is available through a static class with the same name as the csv file:

Console.WriteLine($"Some data from the csv file: {MyFile.First.Message}");
// Some data from the csv file: Hello World!

Data types

Several field types (FieldType enumerable) are supported.

The data type of a column is deduced from the first row based on the following rules:

1. If the column name is id (ignoring case), values are parsed into IdString
2. If the cell value ends with s, values are parsed into TimeSpan using TimeSpan.FromSeconds
3. If the cell value can be parsed with bool.TryParse, values are parsed into bool
4. If the cell value can be parsed with int.TryParse, values are parsed into int
5. If the cell value can be parsed with float.TryParse, values are parsed into float
6. If the cell value can be parsed with double.TryParse, values are parsed into double
7. Otherwise, values are assumed to be strings.
