Read DBASE files in Elixir.
At the moment it only supports read.
Open a file with open/1 or open/2
{:ok, db} = DBF.open("test/dbf_files/bayarea_zipcodes.dbf")
The resulting DB follows the enumerable protocol, so you can use all the functions in the Enum module.
So to get all the records of a database you can do:
db |> Enum.to_list()
The result will be a tuple ´{status, %{...}}´ with the record status being either :record or :deleted_record.
You can get specific rows by using the DBF.get/2
function.
case DBF.get(db, 2) do
{:record, row} -> IO.inspect row
{:deleted_record, row} -> IO.inspect row
{:error, _} -> IO.puts "OMG"
end
