CSVDataImporter

• A plugin inspired by godot-csv-typed-importer
• Basically a wrapper for sep csv parser.
• Import csv table and access the data with C# and GDscript code!
• helper class and extension method to speed up your workflow

Updates

• Upgrades the project to 4.6
• now support csvdata tsvdata as fileExtension
• add extension method and attribute class to help with data convert

Important Notes

Godot 4.6 fixed the csv bug and force open csv as text in text editor. The imported resource is not visible currently in editor mode but the run time is not affected.

Installation

1. Add Sep Package to your .csproj file
2. Build the project and enable the plugin.

<Project Sdk="Godot.NET.Sdk/4.5.1">
  <PropertyGroup>
 <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
 <EnableDynamicLoading>true</EnableDynamicLoading>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
 <PackageReference Include="Sep" Version="0.12.2" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

How to use

CSV Source

1. Header (1st row) is needed
2. Support Comma or tab Separator, or you can use Auto and leave it the sep to decide.
   1. Check sep to see more detail
3. 2rd row can be set as type indicator.
   1. Current Supported Type: int/float/string/bool/json
   2. json type uses the godot str_to_var native calls
4. Skip row can be set to skip a second header row.

id,foo
string,string
ID,FOO
1,Hello
2,World

Code Example

1.First create a container for the target object

using CSVDataImporter;
using Godot;
[GlobalClass]
public partial class Foo : RefCounted, IIndexed
{
    public StringName ID { get; set; }
    [ColumnName("foo")] public string FOO { get; set; }
    public override string ToString()
    {
        return $"ID: {ID}, FOO: {FOO}";
    }
}

2.Load it from your c# script with generic method

using CSVDataImporter;
using Godot;

public partial class CSharpLoadFirst : Node
{
    public override void _Ready()
    {
    }
    public Foo GetFoo(string id)
    {
        var data = GD.Load<CSVData>("res://scripts/Foo.csv");
        if (data == null)
        {
            GD.PrintErr("Failed to load CSV data.");
            return null;
        }
        var foo = data.ParseRow<Foo>(id);
        return foo;
    }
}

3.Call method from gds and retrieve the object

func _ready():
 var c = get_node("%CSharpLoader")
 var foo = c.GetFoo("1")
 print("Got foo: %s" % foo)
