Usage

User story

As a fr-format user, specifically a developer or data scientist, you may need to validate a value according to a given French format. This feature enables you to easily verify whether your data is valid or not.
Additionally, this project allows you to retrieve the entire set of valid values when applicable. For example, this can be useful in a frontend to display the complete set (e.g. in a dropdown menu).

Here's an example of how to use fr-format:

from frformat import Departement, Options, Millesime

print(Departement.description())

_options = Options(
    ignore_case=True,
    ignore_accents=True,
    ignore_extra_whitespace=True
)
Departement(Millesime.LATEST, _options).is_valid("haute-vienne")
# True
Departement(Millesime.M2023, _options).is_valid("Canyon Cosmo")
# False

For more details, consult the Options data class.

For better performance on big amounts of data, use in conjunction with numpy.
