## INTRODUCTION

[csv2ofx](http://github.com/reubano/csv2ofx) is a [Python library](#library-examples) and [command line interface program](#cli-examples) that converts CSV files to OFX and QIF files for importing into GnuCash or similar financial accounting programs. csv2ofx has built in support for importing csv files from mint, yoodlee, and xero.

## Requirements

csv2ofx has been tested and is known to work on Python 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9; and PyPy3.7.

## INSTALLATION

(You are using a [virtualenv](http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/index.html), right?)

sudo pip install csv2ofx

## Usage

csv2ofx is intended to be used either directly from Python or from the command line.

### Library Examples

*normal OFX usage*

```python
import itertools as it

from meza.io import read_csv, IterStringIO
from csv2ofx import utils
from csv2ofx.ofx import OFX
from csv2ofx.mappings.default import mapping

ofx = OFX(mapping)
records = read_csv('path/to/file.csv', has_header=True)
groups = ofx.gen_groups(records)
trxns = ofx.gen_trxns(groups)
cleaned_trxns = ofx.clean_trxns(trxns)
data = utils.gen_data(cleaned_trxns)
content = it.chain([ofx.header(), ofx.gen_body(data), ofx.footer()])

for line in IterStringIO(content):
print(line)
```

*normal QIF usage*

```python
import itertools as it

from tabutils.io import read_csv, IterStringIO
from csv2ofx import utils
from csv2ofx.qif import QIF
from csv2ofx.mappings.default import mapping

qif = QIF(mapping)
records = read_csv('path/to/file.csv', has_header=True)
groups = qif.gen_groups(records)
trxns = qif.gen_trxns(groups)
cleaned_trxns = qif.clean_trxns(trxns)
data = utils.gen_data(cleaned_trxns)
content = it.chain([qif.gen_body(data), qif.footer()])

for line in IterStringIO(content):
print(line)
```

*normal usage*

csv2ofx file.csv file.ofx

*print output to stdout*

csv2ofx ~/Downloads/transactions.csv

*read input from stdin*

cat file.csv | csv2ofx

*qif output*

csv2ofx -q file.csv

*specify date range from one year ago to yesterday with qif output*

csv2ofx -s '-1 year' -e yesterday -q file.csv

*use yoodlee settings*

csv2ofx -m yoodlee file.csv

#### Special cases

Some banks, like *UBS Switzerland*, may provide CSV exports that are not
readily tractable by csv2ofx because of extra header or trailing lines,
redundant or unwanted columns. These input files can be preprocessed with the
shipped `utilz/csvtrim` shell script. F.i., with mapping `ubs-ch-fr`:

csvtrim untrimmed.csv | csv2ofx -m ubs-ch-fr

## CUSTOMIZATION

### Code modification

If you would like to import csv files with field names different from the default, you can modify the mapping file or create your own. New mappings must be placed in the `csv2ofx/mappings` folder (otherwise you must use the ). The mapping object consists of a dictionary whose keys are OFX/QIF attributes and whose values are functions which should return the corresponding value from a record (csv row). The mapping function will take in a record, e.g.,

```python
{'Account': 'savings 2', 'Date': '1/3/15', 'Amount': 5000}
```

The most basic mapping function just returns a specific field or value, e.g.,

```python
from operator import itemgetter

mapping = {
'bank': 'BetterBank',
'account': itemgetter('Account'),
'date': itemgetter('Date'),
'amount': itemgetter('Amount')}
```

But more complex parsing is also possible, e.g.,

```python
mapping = {
'account': lambda r: r['Details'].split(':')[0],
'date': lambda r: '%s/%s/%s' % (r['Month'], r['Day'], r['Year']),
'amount': lambda r: r['Amount'] * 2,
'first_row': 1,
'last_row': 10,
'filter': lambda r: r['Amount'] > 10,
}
```

### Required field attributes

## Contributing

Please mimic the coding style/conventions used in this repo. If you add new classes or functions, please add the appropriate doc blocks with examples. Also, make sure the python linter and nose tests pass.

Ready to contribute? Here's how:

1. Fork and clone.

```bash
git clone [email protected]:/csv2ofx.git
cd csv2ofx
```

2. Setup a new [virtualenv](http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/index.html)

```bash
mkvirtualenv -i pkutils csv2ofx
activate csv2ofx
python setup.py develop
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
```

3. Create a branch for local development

```bash
git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```

4. Make your changes, run linter and tests (see above), and submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

### Adding Mappings

How to contribute a mapping:

1. Add the mapping in `csv2ofx/mappings/`
2. Add a simple example CSV file in `data/test/`.
3. Add the OFX or QIF file that results from the mapping and example CSV file in `data/converted/`.
4. Add a `csv2ofx` call for your mapping to the tests in `tests/test.py`, in `PRE_TESTS`. If you added an OFX (not QIF) converted file, pay attention to the `-e` (end date) and `-D` (server date) arguments in the test- otherwise tests may pass on your workstation and fail on the build server.
5. Ensure your test succeeds (see above).
