CSV in the mapper - #310
Conversation
A CSV file is a list of rows, which the mapper already understands — a list walking "" and a list-shaped output are both features a JSON bare array needed. So the engine is untouched: this is a reader and a writer. Delimiter and header row are asked per side rather than sniffed, because one client sends comma, semicolon and pipe, two of them with no header at all. Every cell is read as text, so 041800 and 0.100 arrive as written. A file holding several record types needs no feature of its own: the filter a list already has selects them by their first field. Writing a partner's file also needed two things the mapper had no way to say, both useful beyond this format: entries written after the walked rows, and a source that counts the rows produced — which is what a trailer record carries.

- Line 245: Update the fallback naming logic around the names assignment and
surplus-field handling to generate a candidate that is unique against all
already assigned names, including positional names that match existing headers
or duplicate headers. Reuse the same uniqueness algorithm for both normal and
surplus fields, ensuring each generated key is added to the used-name set before
assignment.
- Line 172: Update the flattened-column assignment in the CSV mapping logic to
use TryAdd instead of silently overwriting an existing entry. When a duplicate
column path is detected, throw DocumentFormatException; preserve the current key
calculation and scalar conversion for non-colliding paths.
In `@SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/e2e/mapper-csv.spec.ts`:
- Line 86: Update the preview assertion in the mapper CSV test so each selected
column is validated against its expected checked value, rather than only
asserting that the preview lacks `"checked": null`. Ensure the assertion waits
for the next server-rendered preview and detects browser/server column
mismatches across iterations.
In `@SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/lib/nativeMapper/documentTree.ts`:
- Around line 238-240: Update the fallback-name logic in mergeShape so a blank
column selects a candidate not already present in used, avoiding collisions such
as the header “2,” where the fallback must not be “2”. Keep the generated naming
rule consistent with the server reader, then record both the original name and
chosen fallback in used as before.
In `@SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/lib/nativeMapper/serialize.ts`:
- Around line 122-123: Update fromWire and the loadMapping validation flow to
reject incomplete or invalid sourceCsv and targetCsv options before
parseCsvSample runs: require valid delimiter and hasHeader values, allow
byteOrderMark to be omitted, and route invalid byteOrderMark values through the
existing loadError path. Preserve default CSV options only when the
corresponding format is CSV and no options were supplied.

Two columns could end up sharing a name, and a row is built by setting keys on
an object, so the second silently replaced the first. A fallback position can
collide with a header that is literally a number, and a repeated header could
collide with itself. Names are now taken once for the whole file and made
unique against each other, the same way on the server and in the editor.
Writing had the same shape of problem from the other end: a literal `a.b` key
and a nested `a` then `b` both want one column, and one was quietly dropped.
Refused with a reason instead.
Stored options that are incomplete no longer throw while the editor draws —
`{}` reads as the defaults, which is what an absent object already meant.
And the end-to-end check that each offered column resolves now asserts the
value it should carry: "not null" passed off the previous column's preview
before the next one arrived, which is the mismatch it exists to catch.

Not applying this one.
Neutralising a leading -, + or @ changes the data. -5.00 and +962... are ordinary cells in the shipment files this was built against, and a mapper whose contract is "what you map is what is written" cannot quietly rewrite them — a few lines above, this same method throws rather than lose a field silently, which is the standard being held to.
The consumer is a partner's parser on a configured integration, not an arbitrary download of untrusted uploads. The one case where a person opens the file in a spreadsheet is the ByteOrderMark option, and that is already the operator's explicit choice per side.
If it is wanted, the right shape is an opt-in per-side option alongside ByteOrderMark, turned on for the files that really go to a human — not a default that mangles every negative number. Raising it with the owner rather than deciding it here.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Keep CSV delimiter support consistent across the editor and server.
csvOptionsFrom preserves any non-empty delimiter. The loaded rules pass that delimiter to parseSample, where parseCsvSample rejects every delimiter whose length is not one. The server passes the same value to CsvHelper 33.1, whose CsvConfiguration.Delimiter supports multi-character strings. A persisted multi-character delimiter can therefore run on the server but cannot produce a usable editor preview.
CsvOptions currently documents multi-character delimiters as supported. Do not silently replace them with a comma in csvOptionsFrom, because that can change the mapping's data contract. Either add equivalent multi-character parsing to the editor, or narrow the shared contract and reject such delimiters before saving and before server execution. Applying the rule to only csvOptionsFrom is not sufficient.

Known and deliberate, and narrower than it reads.
csvOptionsFrom preserves the stored delimiter rather than replacing it with a comma, so no data contract is silently changed — only missing or non-string values fall back. What a longer delimiter costs is the sample shape panel, which says so in as many words rather than drawing a tree that would be wrong. The output preview is rendered by the server, so that still works.
The picker offers four single-character delimiters, so a longer one can only arrive by hand-editing the rules — for a partner who genuinely uses one. Both alternatives are worse for that person: a second, hand-rolled multi-character parser in the browser reintroduces exactly the parser-drift risk d3-dsv and the round-trip e2e were chosen to close, and refusing the delimiter outright takes away a mapping that currently runs correctly.
Leaving as is.

A CSV file is a list of rows, and the mapper already understands that shape — a list walking
""and a list-shaped output were both written for a JSON bare array. So the engine is untouched: this adds a reader and a writer, and everything between them already existed.Built against three files a single client really sends: comma with a header, pipe with no header and three record types, semicolon with no header, blank lines between blocks and an accented name.
Asked, never sniffed. Delimiter and header row are set per side. A guessed delimiter is right until the first field that legitimately contains a comma, and by then the mapping is in production.
Every cell is text. Nothing decides
041800looks like a number. Where the output wants one, the rule's own type does it — because someone asked, not because something guessed.Several record types in one file need no feature. The filter a list already has selects them by their first field, so
HandTrecords are skipped by a condition rather than by anything new.A nested target becomes a dotted column. A row is flat, so
destination.citylands in a column of that name — which is how the editor already shows the path, and the only way such a column can exist, since the name box splits on dots.Writing a partner's file needed two things the mapper had no way to express. Neither is about CSV, and both work for JSON and XML:
Tests: C# unit 475 → 525, TS unit 329 → 337, and 10 new end-to-end tests. The end-to-end ones matter more than usual here: the tree the editor draws comes from d3-dsv in the browser and the document the mapping reads comes from CsvHelper on the server, and only a test through both notices when they stop agreeing. One already earned its keep — the wire format was dropping the per-side options, which passed unnoticed for comma-with-header because that is the default.
Not included: ragged-row cases beyond those tested.
