Usage

Import the module and initialise it.

    from text_files_splitter import TextFilesSplitter, ListMetrics

    source_file = './src/test/files'
    file_name = 'test_csv.csv'
    max_size_file = 10
    file_type = 'csv'
    metric_units = ListMetrics.MB
    output_directory = './output'
    include_header = True
    file_suffix = 'file_example'

    file_splitter = TextFilesSplitter(source_file, file_name, max_size_file, file_type,
                                                ListMetrics.MB, output_directory, include_header, file_suffix)

    files_splitted = file_splitter.get_file_splitted()

The outcome of get_file_splitted() is a list of dict with the following details

files_splitted = [
    {
        "file_name": file_name,
        "path": output_directory,
        "file_size": file_size_in_bytes,
        "count": count
    }...
]
