CsvOmg (formerly known as csvmapper) easily lets you map CSV to objects. Inspired by happymapper. Please check out the example below and included tests to see how it works.
Examples
module Shop
class Product
include CsvOmg
col :name, 'product_name'
col :uid, 'product_uid', Integer
col :description, 2
col(:price_in_cents, 'product_price', Float){|float| (float * 100).round }
end
end
csv =<<-CSV.gsub(/^ +/,'')
product_uid;product_name;product_description;product_price
1200;Ham;like you never tasted before;19.99
CSV
p1 = Shop::Product.parse(csv, :col_sep => ';').first
p1.price_in_cents # 1999
Requirements
Installation
$ gem install csv-omg
