CSVReader

A small project to convert a CSV Document into a model :)

Usage

1. Create a model which implements the Codable protocol.

struct Ingredient: Codable {
    var name_ger: String
    var kcal: Double
    var kcal_unit: String
}

2. Your CSV-file could look like this.

ID	name D	energy kcal	energy unit
381	Banane, roh	95	kilocalorie

Now you create an array with the attribtues you want to read. Each element represents a column in your CSV-file. Columns you do not want to read you can insert a nil.

    let attributesToReadFromTable = [nil, "name_ger", "kcal", "kcal_unit"]

⚠️ The names in the attribute array have to be the same as in your model!

3. Initialize and adjust the CSVReader.

    let csvReader = CSVReader<Ingredient>(csvString: csvString, attributeNames: attributesToReadFromTable)
    csvReader.decimalSeparator = ","
    csvReader.elementSeparator = ";"

4. Implement the CSVReaderDelegate to track the proccess (if needed).

extension ViewController: CSVReaderDelegate {
    func changed(progress: Float) {
        progressView.progress = progress
    }
}

5. Call the .read() method.

    let result = csvReader.read()
