Struct Format

pub struct Format { /* private fields */ }

The format specification for the CSV file

Implementations

impl Format

pub fn with_header(self, has_header: bool) -> Format

Specify whether the CSV file has a header, defaults to false

When true, the first row of the CSV file is treated as a header row

pub fn with_delimiter(self, delimiter: u8) -> Format

Specify a custom delimiter character, defaults to comma ','

pub fn with_escape(self, escape: u8) -> Format

Specify an escape character, defaults to None

pub fn with_quote(self, quote: u8) -> Format

Specify a custom quote character, defaults to double quote '"'

pub fn with_terminator(self, terminator: u8) -> Format

Specify a custom terminator character, defaults to CRLF

pub fn with_comment(self, comment: u8) -> Format

Specify a comment character, defaults to None

Lines starting with this character will be ignored

pub fn with_null_regex(self, null_regex: Regex) -> Format

Provide a regex to match null values, defaults to ^$

pub fn with_truncated_rows(self, allow: bool) -> Format

Whether to allow truncated rows when parsing.

By default this is set to false and will error if the CSV rows have different lengths. When set to true then it will allow records with less than the expected number of columns and fill the missing columns with nulls. If the record’s schema is not nullable, then it will still return an error.

pub fn infer_schema<R>( &self, reader: R, max_records: Option<usize>, ) -> Result<(Schema, usize), ArrowError>

where R: Read,

Infer schema of CSV records from the provided reader

If max_records is None, all records will be read, otherwise up to max_records records are read to infer the schema

Returns inferred schema and number of records read
