A CSV filter directive for docutils and Sphinx, that extends the "csv-table" reStructuredText directive to add row filtering options.
The package depends on docutils, it provides a CSVFilterDirective,
extending CSVTable. When used as a Sphinx extension, it will register the
csv-filter Sphinx directive.
The Sphinx CSV filter plugin is available as a pip package.
To install, run:
$ pip install sphinx-csv-filter
To update, run:
$ pip install -U sphinx-csv-filter
To include the extension, add this line to config.py in
your Sphinx project:
extensions = ['crate.sphinx.csv']
If you're using other extensions, edit the existing list, or add this:
extensions.append('crate.sphinx.csv')
This plugin adds the following options to the csv-table directive:
:included_cols:- This is a comma-separated list of column indexes to include in the output.
:include:- This option takes a Python dict specifying the column index (starting at zero) and a regular expression. Rows are included if the columnar value matches the supplied regular expression.
:exclude:- This option takes a Python dict specifying the column index (starting at zero) and a regular expression. Rows are excluded if the columnar value matches the supplied regular expression.
If a row matches an :include: as well as an :exclude: filter, the row
with be excluded.
Here's an example:
.. csv-filter:: Example Table
:header: Company,Contact,Country,Attend?
:file: example.csv
:exclude: {3: '(?i)Y\w*'}
In this example, rows from example.csv will be omitted from the output if the regular expression (?i)Y\w* matches value of the Attend? column.
