A basic Ruby applet to take data from a CSV file and add it to an application via an API

Configuration File

The applet is configured by a config.json file and requires the following values to function...

• csvFilepath - the relative path to the csv file containing your data.
  For example "example-data.csv".
• allowableHeaders - An array of strings representing the csv header values that the applet should expect to find in the csv file.
  For example ["firstname", "lastname", "address_number", "address_firstline", "postcode"]
• map - A hash map of key-value pairs, where the keys are headers from the allowableHeaders list and the values, the desired property from the requestTemplate. For nested data values use dot notation.
  For example - In the example set up, the address object is nested within the user profile object. To update the addresses postcode property we'd specify "address.postcode"
• requestTemplate - The template (or schema) for the body of the api request to be made.

Example-Data.csv

For my own personal use i have created an example-data.csv which uses data based on user profiles. Feel free to use this to play around with the app or create your own.
