@moduledoc ~S"""
RFC 4180 compliant CSV parsing and encoding for Elixir. Allows to specify other separators,
so it could also be named: TSV, but it isn't.
"""
@doc """
Decode a stream of comma-separated lines into a table.
## Options
These are the options:
* `:separator` – The separator token to use, defaults to `?,`. Must be a codepoint (syntax: ? + (your separator)).
* `:strip_fields` – When set to true, will strip whitespace from cells. Defaults to false.
* `:preprocessor` – Which preprocessor to use:
:lines (default) -> Will preprocess line by line input respecting escape sequences
:codepoints -> Will preprocess codepoint by codepoint input respecting escape sequences
:none -> Will not preprocess input and expects line by line input with multiple line escape sequences aggregated to one line
* `:escape_max_lines` – How many lines to maximally aggregate for multiline escapes. Defaults to a 1000.
* `:num_workers` – The number of parallel operations to run when producing the stream.
* `:worker_work_ratio` – The available work per worker, defaults to 5. Higher rates will mean more work sharing, but might also lead to work fragmentation slowing down the queues.
* `:headers` – When set to `true`, will take the first row of the csv and use it as
header values.
When set to a list, will use the given list as header values.
When set to `false` (default), will use no header values.
When set to anything but `false`, the resulting rows in the matrix will
be maps instead of lists.
## Examples
Convert a filestream into a stream of rows, inlining errors into the stream:
iex> \"../test/fixtures/docs/valid.csv\"
iex> |> Path.expand(__DIR__)
iex> |> File.stream!
iex> |> CSV.decode
iex> |> Enum.take(2)
[{:ok, [\"a\",\"b\",\"c\"]}, {:ok, [\"d\",\"e\",\"f\"]}]
Convert a filestream into a stream of rows, throwing an error on invalid rows:
iex> \"../test/fixtures/docs/valid.csv\"
iex> |> Path.expand(__DIR__)
iex> |> File.stream!
iex> |> CSV.decode!
iex> |> Enum.take(2)
[[\"a\",\"b\",\"c\"], [\"d\",\"e\",\"f\"]]
Convert a filestream into a stream of rows in order of the given stream:
iex> \"../test/fixtures/docs/valid.csv\"
iex> |> Path.expand(__DIR__)
iex> |> File.stream!
iex> |> CSV.decode!(num_workers: 1)
iex> |> Enum.take(2)
[[\"a\",\"b\",\"c\"], [\"d\",\"e\",\"f\"]]
Map an existing stream of lines separated by a token to a stream of rows with a header row:
iex> [\"a;b\",\"c;d\", \"e;f\"]
iex> |> Stream.map(&(&1))
iex> |> CSV.decode!(separator: ?;, headers: true)
iex> |> Enum.take(2)
[%{\"a\" => \"c\", \"b\" => \"d\"}, %{\"a\" => \"e\", \"b\" => \"f\"}]
Map an existing stream of lines separated by a token to a stream of rows with a given header row:
iex> [\"a;b\",\"c;d\", \"e;f\"]
iex> |> Stream.map(&(&1))
iex> |> CSV.decode!(separator: ?;, headers: [:x, :y])
iex> |> Enum.take(2)
[%{:x => \"a\", :y => \"b\"}, %{:x => \"c\", :y => \"d\"}]

Encode a table stream into a stream of RFC 4180 compliant CSV lines for writing to a file

## Options
These are the options:

* `:delimiter` – The delimiter token to use, defaults to `\\r\\n`. Must be a string.
