Config file

You’l need a configuration file to setup transformations for each dataset.

This file is a simple yaml where you can configure fields.

Field names should match the column name declared into the CSV input file.

---
fields:
  Task ID:
    omit: true
  Location:
    conversions:
      - fn: coords_to_h3
        kwargs:
          resolution: 8
  Client Address:
    conversions:
      - fn: has_value
    rename: has_address
  Company Name:
    generator:
      provider: business.company
    rename: company
  Invoice ID:
    generator:
      provider: person.identifier
      kwargs:
        mask: "#######"
    rename: invoice

Generators

You can use any generator available at the generic API from mimesis.

For example, if you wanna mimic data with company names:

---
fields:
  Company Name:
    generator:
      provider: business.company

But you can replace the real names by names of fruits:

---
fields:
  Company Name:
    generator:
      provider: food.fruit

Conversions

You can apply any pre-configured conversion functions available.

  • coords_to_h3

  • has_value
