Issue importing field/column using BigDecimal format

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out.
Can you share some input values? Which values would you wanted to get parsed. Whats about deliminators etc?

Bye

For testing I used a simple csv file, importing to an entity with a string Name and BigDecimal Num(non-mandatory field. If I made the field mandatory it threw an exception related to AttributeBinder)

example.csv
Name,Num
Test,14

I expected it to import both values. What actually happened was, it did not show success, it imported the string Name correctly and left "Num" (BigDecimal) blank.

Right, bigdecimal is not supported as you said.

I was just thinking about that about:
12.3
1,456,900.758813

As well as situations where you have localisations in place (e.g in DE it would be 1.987.654,65008)

I thought you have some additional edge cases for me :)

btw:
there is always the escape path in case the app component does not have support for specific datatypes to bind: Custom attribute binding script.

Something like this should do the trick:

return new BigDecimal(rawValue)

But I will plan native support for BigDecimal somewhere 0.3.0 / 0.4.0.

Excellent - thank you!

[mariodavid]

we can actually leave it open, so that I can use it to keep track of the actual implementation.

done in #62. Will be released in 0.3.0. Thanks for pointing it out.
