README

1. Data Preparation: Team A generates CSV data adhering to a predefined format and places the file in a shared location accessible to Team B (e.g., a shared repository or cloud storage).

2. Notification: Team A notifies Team B that the data is ready via corporate communication channels (email, chat, task management system).

3. Validation: Team B uses predefined validation rules stored in the repository to check the CSV file for accuracy and integrity before importing. This includes verifying date formats, numerical values, and the presence of required columns.

4. Data Import: After successful validation, Team B imports the data from the CSV file into their system for further processing.

5. Error Handling: If validation identifies errors, the process halts, and Team B provides feedback to Team A for data correction.

Why Validation is Necessary:

• Reduce Errors: Validating data before import minimizes the likelihood of errors, enhancing data quality.
• Efficiency: Prevents time loss on manual error correction post-import.
• Data Consistency: Ensures data meets the expectations and requirements of Team B, facilitating accurate processing and analysis.
• Automation: Storing validation rules in the repository eases the process of checking automation and simplifies updating validation criteria.

  This YAML file provides a detailed description and validation rules for CSV files
  to be processed by CSV Blueprint tool. It includes specifications for file name patterns,
  CSV formatting options, and extensive validation criteria for individual columns and their values,
  supporting a wide range of data validation rules from basic type checks to complex regex validations.
  This example serves as a comprehensive guide for creating robust CSV file validations.

# Description of each column in CSV.

    # If the column is required. If true, the column must be present in the CSV file. If false, the column can be missing in the CSV file.
    # So, if you want to make the column optional, set this value to false, and it will validate the column only if it is present.

Description:
  Validate CSV file(s) by schema(s).

Usage:
  validate-csv [options]
  validate:csv

Options:
  -c, --csv=CSV                    Specify the path(s) to the CSV files you want to validate.
                                   This can include a direct path to a file or a directory to search with a maximum depth of 10 levels.
                                   Examples: p/file.csv; p/*.csv; p/**/*.csv; p/**/name-*.csv; **/*.csv
                                    (multiple values allowed)
  -s, --schema=SCHEMA              Specify the path(s) to the schema file(s), supporting YAML, JSON, or PHP formats.
                                   Similar to CSV paths, you can direct to specific files or search directories with glob patterns.
                                   Examples: p/file.yml; p/*.yml; p/**/*.yml; p/**/name-*.yml; **/*.yml
                                    (multiple values allowed)
  -S, --skip-schema[=SKIP-SCHEMA]  Skips schema validation for quicker checks when the schema's correctness is certain.
                                   Use any non-empty value or "yes" to activate
                                    [default: "no"]
  -a, --apply-all[=APPLY-ALL]      Apply all schemas (also without `filename_pattern`) to all CSV files found as global rules.
                                   Available options:

• Batch processing

  • If option --csv is not specified, then the STDIN is used. To build a pipeline in Unix-like systems.

• Validation

  • Multi filename_pattern. Support list of regexs.
  • Multi values in one cell.
  • Custom cell rule as a callback. It's useful when you have a complex rule that can't be described in the schema file.
  • Custom agregate rule as a callback. It's useful when you have a complex rule that can't be described in the schema file.
  • Configurable keyword for null/empty values. By default, it's an empty string. But you will use null, nil, none, empty, etc. Overridable on the column level.
  • Handle empty files and files with only a header row, or only with one line of data. One column wthout header is also possible.
  • If option --schema is not specified, then validate only super base level things (like "is it a CSV file?").
  • Complex rules (like "if field A is not empty, then field B should be not empty too").
  • Extending with custom rules and custom report formats. Plugins?
  • Input encoding detection + BOM (right now it's experimental). It works but not so accurate... UTF-8 is the best choice for now.

• Performance and optimization

  • Using vectors instead of arrays to optimaze memory usage and speed of access.
  • Multithreading support for parallel validation of CSV by columns.

• Mock data generation

  • Create CSV files based on the schema (like "create 1000 rows with random data based on schema and rules").
  • Use Faker for random data generation.
  • ReverseRegex to generate text from regex.

• Reporting

  • More report formats (like JSON, XML, etc). Any ideas?
  • Gitlab and JUnit reports must be as one structure. It's not so easy to implement. But it's a good idea.
  • Merge reports from multiple CSV files into one report. It's useful when you have a lot of files and you want to see all errors in one place. Especially for GitLab and JUnit reports.

• Misc

  • Rewrite in Go/Rust. It's a good idea to have a standalone binary with the same functionality.
  • Install via brew on MacOS.
  • Install via apt on Ubuntu.
  • Use it as PHP SDK. Examples in Readme.
  • Warnings about deprecated options and features.
  • Add option --recomendation to show a list of recommended rules for the schema or potential issues in the CSV file or schema. It's useful when you are not sure what rules to use.
  • Add option --error=[level] to show only errors with a specific level. It's useful when you have a lot of warnings and you want to see only errors.
  • More examples and documentation.
