CSV Parser Library
==================

[](#csv-parser-library)

This library allows you to define your CSV parsing in OOP style, allowing you to easily filter and test your imports. It's been in production on various large clients with multiples complex imports for quite some time now.

Main advantages are:

- OOP-style: One *Parser* class per import = meaningful for developers working on the project.
- Testable: A fixture csv and you can easily write tests for the import.
- Fully Customizable: each parsed result is also a PHP class where the developer can add its own logic.
- Lightly coupled: this package depends only on Symfony's Validator. Any database/persistence stuff is possible (see example below).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install this package using composer:

```
composer require kaliop/csv-parser
```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

You'll need to describe the mapping between CSV columns and entity's properties. To do so, you should start by creating a *Parser*, but first, let's take a look at our CSV:

```
date;order_id;client_name;address;postal_code;country;amount
2019-04-15;678945;"Laurent Doe";"12 avenue PhpUnit";34000;France;12

```

our Entity looks like this:
