Usage

Parsing a BAI2 file

require 'bai2_ruby'

# Read the content of a BAI2 file
bai2_content = File.read('path/to/your/bai2_file.bai')

# Create a parser instance
parser = BAI2::Parser.new(bai2_content)

# Parse the content
bai2_file = parser.parse

# Access the parsed data
puts bai2_file.header.sender_id
puts bai2_file.header.file_creation_date

bai2_file.groups.each do |group|
  puts group.header.originator_id
  group.accounts.each do |account|
    puts account.header.customer_account_number
    account.transactions.each do |transaction|
      puts "#{transaction.type}: #{transaction.amount}"
    end
  end
end

Writing a BAI2 file

require 'bai2_ruby'

# Create BAI2 structures
file_header = BAI2::Structures::FileHeader.new(
  sender_id: 'SENDER1',
  receiver_id: 'RECEIVER1',
  file_creation_date: Date.today,
  file_creation_time: Time.now,
  file_id: '123456',
  physical_record_length: 80,
  block_size: 0,
  version_number: '2'
)

# ... Create other structures (groups, accounts, transactions) ...

# Create a BAI2::File object
bai2_file = BAI2::File.new(file_header, groups, file_trailer)

# Create a writer instance
writer = BAI2::Writer.new(bai2_file)

# Generate BAI2 content
bai2_content = writer.generate

# Write to a file
File.write('path/to/output.bai', bai2_content)

Configuration

By default, the parser uses UTC for time parsing. You can specify a different time zone when creating a parser:

parser = BAI2::Parser.new(bai2_content, time_zone: "-05:00")

Development
