Embed CSV data as a Golang package.

Install

go get github.com/mmcloughlin/databundler

Example

We'll use the Seven Summits as our example. The CSV we are going to embed into a package looks like

Mount Everest,8848,8848,Asia,Himalaya,Nepal/China,1953
Aconcagua,6961,6961,South America,Andes,Argentina,1897
Denali,6194,6144,North America,Alaska Range,United States,1913
Kilimanjaro,5895,5885,Africa,,Tanzania,1889
Mount Elbrus,5642,4741,Europe,Caucasus Mountains,Russia,1874
Mount Vinson,4892,4892,Antarctica,Sentinel Range,,1966
Puncak Jaya,4884,4884,Australasia,Sudirman Range,Indonesia,1962

We specify a schema in YAML format.

name: Peak
doc: Peak represents a mountain.
collection_doc: Peaks is the Messner version of the Seven Summits.
fields:
  - name: Name
    type: string
  - name: Elevation
    doc: Elevation in meters.
    type: int
  - null # ignore Prominence
  - name: Continent
    type: string
  - name: Range
    doc: Name of mountain range.
    type: string
  - name: Country
    type: string
  - name: FirstAscentYear
    type: int

Build the Go source with the following commands.

databundler -pkg sevensummits -data sevensummits.csv -schema schema.yaml -output sevensummits.go
gofmt -w sevensummits.go

Resulting in the following code.

// Generated code. DO NOT EDIT.

package sevensummits

// Peak represents a mountain.
type Peak struct {
	Name string
	// Elevation in meters.
	Elevation int
	Continent string
	// Name of mountain range.
	Range           string
	Country         string
	FirstAscentYear int
}

// Peaks is the Messner version of the Seven Summits.
