/ExtendableCSVParser

Creating a simple demonstration on how one can use simple design patterns to create a CSV Parser

Primary LanguagePython

Usage: python run.py filename

Design Choices

run.py contains a class named ParseHandler which reads the input files and compares it with all the rules defined in the rules.py file. The rules.py file contains an abstract class called Rule, each rule will inherit from this Rule class and define a function called execute which contains a predicate. 

Any class that inherits from the Rule class will be used by the ParseHandler to compare the input. If all the rules pass then the output will be written to valid.csv, otherwise the output will be written to invalid.csv.

Test Cases

rules_test.py contains a sample of test cases. This includes testing whether invalid files are handled correctly, if the files are created appropriately, and if the output to the files is correct.
