# react-csv-import

**Disclaimer**: This project is a fork of [tableflowhq/csv-import](https://github.com/tableflowhq/csv-import)

## How It Works

1. Embed the CSV Importer in your app with the [React](https://www.npmjs.com/package/csv-import-react)
   or [JavaScript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/csv-import-js) SDK
2. Define the columns your users can import (via the `template` parameter)
3. Your users import their files in your app
4. Retrieve the imported data from the `onComplete` event

## Get Started

### 1. Install SDK

Use NPM or Yarn to install the SDK for [React](https://www.npmjs.com/package/csv-import-react)
or [JavaScript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/csv-import-js).

**NPM**

```bash
npm install csv-import-react
# or
npm install csv-import-js
```

**Yarn**

```bash
yarn add csv-import-react
# or
yarn add csv-import-js
```

### 2. Add the importer to your application

#### Using React

```javascript
import { CSVImporter } from "csv-import-react";
import { useState } from "react";

function MyComponent() {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => setIsOpen(true)}>Open CSV Importer</button>

      <CSVImporter
        modalIsOpen={isOpen}
        modalOnCloseTriggered={() => setIsOpen(false)}
        darkMode={true}
        onComplete={(data) => console.log(data)}
        template={{
          columns: [
            {
              name: "First Name",
              key: "first_name",
              required: true,
              description: "The first name of the user",
              suggested_mappings: ["First", "Name"],
            },
            {
              name: "Age",
              data_type: "number",
            },
          ],
        }}
      />
    </>
  );
}
```

#### Using JavaScript

```html
<head>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/csv-import-js@latest/index.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <button id="uploadButton">Open CSV Importer</button>
  <div id="app"></div>
  <script>
    const importer = CSVImporter.createCSVImporter({
      domElement: document.getElementById("app"),
      modalOnCloseTriggered: () => importer?.closeModal(),
      onComplete: (data) => console.log(data),
      darkMode: true,
      template: {
        columns: [
          {
            name: "First Name",
            key: "first_name",
            required: true,
            description: "The first name of the user",
            suggested_mappings: ["First", "Name"],
          },
          {
            name: "Age",
            data_type: "number",
          },
        ],
      },
    });

    const uploadButton = document.getElementById("uploadButton");
    uploadButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
      importer?.showModal();
    });
  </script>
</body>
```

## SDK Reference

### isModal (_boolean_, default: `true`)

When set to `true` (default value), the importer will behave as a modal with its open state controlled by `modalIsOpen`. When set to `false`, the importer will be embedded directly in your page.

### modalIsOpen (_boolean_, default: `false`)

Only used when `isModal` is `true`: Controls the importer modal being open or closed.
\
**React SDK Only**: For the JavaScript SDK, use `.showModal()` and `.closeModal()` to operate the modal.

### modalOnCloseTriggered (_function_)

Only used when `isModal` is `true`: A function called when the user clicks the close button or clicks outside of (when used with `modalCloseOnOutsideClick`) the importer. `useState` can be used to control the importer modal opening and closing.

```javascript
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);
```

```jsx
<button onClick={() => setIsOpen(true)}>Open CSV Importer</button>
<CSVImporter
  modalIsOpen={isOpen}
  modalOnCloseTriggered={() => setIsOpen(false)}
  ...
/>
```

### modalCloseOnOutsideClick (_boolean_, default: `false`)

Only used when `isModal` is `true`: Clicking outside the modal will call the `modalOnCloseTriggered` function.

### template (_object_)

Configure the columns used for the import.

```jsx
template={{
  columns: [
    {
      name: "First Name",
      key: "first_name",
      required: true,
      description: "The first name of the user",
      suggested_mappings: ["First", "Name"],
    },
    {
      name: "Age",
      data_type: "number",
    },
  ],
}}
```

### onComplete (_function_)

Callback function that fires when a user completes an import. It returns `data`, an object that contains the row data, column definitions, and other information about the import.

```jsx
onComplete={(data) => console.log(data)}
```

Example `data`:

```json
{
  "num_rows": 2,
  "num_columns": 3,
  "columns": [
    {
      "key": "age",
      "name": "Age"
    },
    {
      "key": "email",
      "name": "Email"
    },
    {
      "key": "first_name",
      "name": "First Name"
    }
  ],
  "rows": [
    {
      "index": 0,
      "values": {
        "age": 23,
        "email": "maria@example.com",
        "first_name": "Maria"
      }
    },
    {
      "index": 1,
      "values": {
        "age": 32,
        "email": "robert@example.com",
        "first_name": "Robert"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

### darkMode (_boolean_, default: `false`)

Toggle between dark mode (`true`) and light mode (`false`).

### primaryColor (_string_)

Specifies the primary color for the importer in hex format. Use `customStyles` to customize the UI in more detail.

```jsx
primaryColor="#7A5EF8"
```

### customStyles (_object_)

Apply custom styles to the importer with an object containing CSS properties and values. Note that custom style properties will override `primaryColor` and any default styles from `darkMode`.
Available options:

```jsx
customStyles={{
  "font-family": "cursive",
  "font-size": "15px",
  "base-spacing": "2rem",
  "border-radius": "8px",
  "color-primary": "salmon",
  "color-primary-hover": "crimson",
  "color-secondary": "indianRed",
  "color-secondary-hover": "crimson",
  "color-tertiary": "indianRed",
  "color-tertiary-hover": "crimson",
  "color-border": "lightCoral",
  "color-text": "brown",
  "color-text-soft": "rgba(165, 42, 42, .5)",
  "color-text-on-primary": "#fff",
  "color-text-on-secondary": "#ffffff",
  "color-background": "bisque",
  "color-background-modal": "blanchedAlmond",
  "color-input-background": "blanchedAlmond",
  "color-input-background-soft": "white",
  "color-background-menu-hover": "bisque",
  "color-importer-link": "indigo",
  "color-progress-bar": "darkGreen"
}}
```

## Internationalization

### Predefined languages
- Out-of-the-box support for various languages.
- Common languages are available through the language prop (i.e., `language="fr"` for French).
- Available predefined languages:
  - en
  - es
  - fr

### Customizable language
- Language keys can be exported and overridden.
- Labels and messages can be customized to any text.
- Translations key examples can be found in `src/i18n/es.ts`

```javascript
// Set up custom translations
const customTranslations = {
  jp: {
    Upload: "アップロード",
    "Browse files": "ファイルを参照",
  },
  pt: {
    Upload: "Carregar",
    "Browse files": "Procurar arquivos",
  },
};

return (
  <CSVImporter language="jp" customTranslations={customTranslations} ...props />
)

```

### showDownloadTemplateButton (_boolean_, default: `true`)

When set to `false`, hide the Download Template button on the first screen of the importer.

### skipHeaderRowSelection (_boolean_, default: `false`)

When set to `true`, the importer will not display and skip the Header Row Selection step and always choose the first row in the file as the header.
