I'm trying to figure out how to use dataframe.LoadOptions
in the gota library to specify a delimiter when reading the CSV file.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/kniren/gota/dataframe"
"io/ioutil"
"strings"
)
func main() {
content, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("/path/to/csv/file.csv")
ioContent := strings.NewReader(string(content))
df := dataframe.ReadCSV(ioContent)
fmt.Println(df)
}
The dataframe.ReadCSV function takes an options
variable of type *dataframe.LoadOptions
I checked the definition for the dataframe.LoadOptions struct and found the following:
type LoadOption func(*loadOptions)
type loadOptions struct {
defaultType series.Type
detectTypes bool
hasHeader bool
names []string
nanValues []string
delimiter rune
types map[string]series.Type
}
I'm new to Go and got stuck on this. First time I've come across a definition like this: type LoadOption func(*loadOptions)
This library uses functional options.
dataframe.ReadCSV takes any number of dataframe.LoadOption, where LoadOption is a function type. Look through the docs for things that return a value of LoadOption and pass those to ReadCSV:
dataframe.ReadCSV(ioContent,
dataframe.WithDelimiter(';'),
dataframe.HasHeader(true),
// etc.
)
