Overview.

The DataLoader project is a comprehensive utility that facilitates the efficient loading and processing of data from specified directories. This project is designed to be user-friendly and easy to integrate into your projects.

The DataMetrics class focuses on processing data paths and gathering statistics related to the file system and specified paths. Also allows the ability to export all statistics to a JSON file.

The Extensions class is a utility that provides a set of default file extensions for the DataLoader class. Its the back-bone for mapping all file extensions to its respective loading method.


Features

DataLoader

The DataLoader class is specifically designed for loading and processing data from directories. It provides the following key features:

Key Features:

  • Dynamic Loading: Load files from a single directory or merge files from multiple directories.
  • Flexible Configuration: Set various parameters, such as default file extensions, full POSIX paths, method loader execution, and more.
  • Parallel Execution: Leverage parallel execution with the total_workers parameter to enhance performance.
  • Custom Loaders: Implement custom loaders for specific file extensions.
    • Please note that at the moment, the loading methods kwargs will be uniformly applied to all files with the specified extension.
    • Additionally, the first parameter of the loader method is automatically passed and should be skipped. If passed, the loader will fail and return the contents of the file as TextIOWrapper.

    Future updates will include the ability to specify what loader method to use for a specific files efficiently.

Parameters:

  • path (str or Path): The path of the directory from which to load files.
  • directories (Iterable): An iterable of directories from which to all files.
  • default_extensions (Iterable): Default file extensions to be processed.
  • full_posix (bool): Indicates whether to display full POSIX paths.
  • no_method (bool): Indicates whether to skip loading method matching execution.
  • verbose (bool): Indicates whether to display verbose output.
  • generator (bool): Indicates whether to return the loaded files as a generator; otherwise, returns as a dictionary.
  • total_workers (int): Number of workers for parallel execution.
  • ext_loaders (dict[str, Any, dict[key-value]]): Dictionary containing extensions mapped to specified loaders. (Refer to the Extensions class for more information)

Class & Property Methods:

  • load_file (class_method): Load a specific file.
  • get_files (class_method): Retrieve files from a directory based on default extensions and filters unwanted files.
  • dir_files (property): Loaded files from specified directories.
  • files (property): Loaded files from a single directory
  • all_exts (property): Retrieve all supported file extensions with their respective loader methods being used.
  • EXTENSIONS (Extensions class instance): Retrieve all default supported file extensions with their respective loader methods.

DataMetrics

The DataMetrics class focuses on processing data paths and gathering statistics related to the file system. Key features include:

Key Features:

  • OS Statistics: Retrieve detailed statistics for each path, including symbolic link status, calculated size, and size in bytes.
  • Export to JSON: Export all statistics to a JSON file for further analysis and visualization.

Parameters:

  • paths (Iterable): Paths for which to gather statistics.
  • file_name (str): The file name to be used when exporting all files metadata stats.
  • full_posix (bool): Indicates whether to display full POSIX paths.

Property Methods:

  • all_stats: Retrieve statistics for all paths.
  • total_size: Calculate the total size of all paths.
  • total_files: Calculate the total number of files in all paths.
  • export_stats(): Export all statistics to a JSON file.

OS Stats Results:

  • os_stats_results: OS statistics results for each path.
  • Custom Stats:
    • st_fsize: Full file size statistics.
    • st_vsize: Full volume size statistics.

Extensions:

The Extensions class is a utility that provides a set of default file extensions for the DataLoader class. Its the back-bone for mapping all file extensions to its respective loading method. All extensions are stored in a dictionary (no period included), and the Extensions class provides the following key features:

Key Features:

  • File Extension Mapping: Retrieve all supported file extensions with their respective loader methods.
  • Loader Method Retrieval: Retrieve the loader method for a specific file extension.
  • Loader Method Check: Check if a specific file extension has a loader method implemented that's not open.
  • Supported Extension Check: Check if a specific file extension is supported.
  • Customization: Customize the Extensions class with new files extensions and its respective loader methods.

Parameters:

  • No parameters are required for the Extensions class.
  • Extensions(): Initializes the Extensions class with all implemented file extensions and their respective loader methods.
    • Acts as a dictionary for accessing supported file extensions and their loader methods via Extensions().ALL_EXTS.

Class Methods:

  • ALL_EXTS: Retrieve all supported file extensions with their respective loader methods.
  • get_loader: Retrieve the loader method for a specific file extension.
  • has_loader: Checks if a specific file extension has a loader method implemented thats not open.
  • is_supported: Checks if a specific file extension is supported.
  • customize: Customize the Extensions class with new files extensions and its respective loader methods.
    • Specified loading method will be converted to a lambda function to support kwargs.
    • The first parameter of the loader method is automatically passed and should be skipped. If passed, the loader will fail and return the contents of the file as TextIOWrapper.
    • Future updates will include the ability to specify what loader method to use for a specific files efficiently.
    • The loader method kwargs will be uniformly applied to all files with the specified extension.
    • Example:
      # Structure: {extension: {loader_method: {kwargs}}}
      ext_loaders = {"csv": {pd.read_csv: {"header": 10}}}

DataLoader Usage

from dynamic_loader import DataLoader
# Load files from a single directory
dl = DataLoader(path="path/to/directory")
print(dl.files) # Loaded files from a single directory (returns as a generator object)

# Load files from multiple directories
dl = DataLoader(directories=["path/to/directory1", "path/to/directory2"])
print(dl.dir_files) # Loaded files from specified directories (returns as a generator object)

# Load a specific file
file = DataLoader.load_file("path/to/file")
print(file) # Loaded file
