- **Styling and Theming**: Easily adjust the importer's appearance to align with your application's design.
- **Multi-language Support**: Customize and localize interface text to cater to a global user base.

## Getting Started

Ensure you have signed up on our [User Platform](https://dashboard.ingestro.com/) and have access to your Ingestro license key.

### Installation

Add Ingestro to your project:

**npm:**

```bash
npm install @ingestro/importer-vue
```

**yarn:**

```bash
yarn add @ingestro/importer-vue
```

### Basic Implementation

Below is a basic example of integrating the `DataImporter` component into your Vue application:

```js
<template>
  <div id="app">
    <DataImporter
      :settings="settings"
      :licenseKey="licenseKey"
      :onResults="onResults"
    />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  import { DataImporter } from '@ingestro/importer-vue';

  export default {
    name: 'App',
    components: {
      DataImporter,
    },
    data: () => {
      return {
        licenseKey: 'Your License Key',
        settings: {
          identifier: 'product_data',
          columns: [
            {
              label: 'Product ID',
              key: 'product_id',
            },
            {
              label: 'Article Name',
              key: 'article_name',
            },
          ],
        },
      };
    },
    methods: {
      onResults: (results, errors, complete, logs, block) => {
        console.log('Imported Data:', results);
        console.log('Errors:', errors);
        console.log('Import Logs:', logs);
        complete(); // Finalize the import process
      },
    },
  };
</script>
```

In this example:

- **licenseKey**: Your unique Ingestro license key.
- **settings**: Configuration object for the importer.
- **identifier**: A unique string to identify the import instance.
- **columns**: Defines the target data model (TDM) with `label` and `key` for each column.
- **onResults**: Callback function that handles the imported data results.

For a comprehensive guide on setting up and customizing the importer, refer to the [First Steps](https://docs.ingestro.com/sdk/start/) documentation.

## Advanced Configuration

### Settings & Configuration

The `settings` property allows you to tailor the importer's behavior and appearance. Key configurable options include:

- **inputTypes**: Specify supported file types (e.g., `['csv', 'xls', 'json']`).
- **modal**: Determine whether the importer operates within a modal (`true`) or inline (`false`).

For a detailed list of configuration options, visit the [Settings & Configuration](https://docs.ingestro.com/sdk/settings/) page.

### Target Data Model (TDM)

Define the structure of the data you expect using the `columns` array within the `settings`. Each column can include:

- **label**: User-friendly name displayed in the UI.
- **key**: Technical identifier for the column.
- **description**: Additional information about the column.
- **alternativeMatches**: Array of synonyms or abbreviations to assist the mapping algorithm.
- **validations**: Rules such as required fields, uniqueness, regex patterns, and cross-column dependencies.

Learn more about defining your TDM in the [Columns / Target Data Model](https://docs.ingestro.com/sdk/columns/) documentation.

### Cleaning & Data Handler Functions

Implement custom cleaning & data handler functions (callback functions) to transform and validate data during the import process. These functions can correct date formats, enrich entries, compare imported data against external databases, and more.

Explore the capabilities of these functions in the [Cleaning Functions](https://docs.ingestro.com/sdk/cleaning-functions/) & [Data Handler](https://docs.ingestro.com/sdk/data-handler) docs.

### Dynamic Import

The dynamic import feature allows you to start the import process from any step and with various data formats. This flexibility enables integration with different workflows and data sources.

For implementation details, refer to the [Dynamic Import](https://docs.ingestro.com/sdk/dynamic-import/) documentation.

### Styling and Theming

Customize the appearance of the Ingestro importer to match your application's design. Modify themes, adjust display modes, and enable or disable specific features to create a seamless user experience.

Learn more about styling options in the [Styling](https://docs.ingestro.com/sdk/styling/) section.

### Multi-language Support

The `i18nOverrides` and `language` feature allow you to customize and localize the application's default language keys, ensuring the importer aligns with your users' language preferences.

For more information on localization, visit the [Multi-language Support](https://docs.ingestro.com/sdk/multi-language/) & [Language](https://docs.ingestro.com/sdk/settings#language) page.

## Handling Results

The `onResults` callback function provides access to the cleaned data, allowing you to define how to process and store it.

Detailed information on handling results can be found in the [Result (Output)](https://docs.ingestro.com/sdk/results/) documentation.
