Hedi

Hedi is a library for interacting with Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) messages.

Installation

go get github.com/pbjer/hedi

Usage

Lexing

msg := "ISA*01*0000000000*01*0000000000*ZZ*ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO*ZZ*123456789012345*101127*1719*U*00400*000003438*0*P*>~"
reader := strings.NewReader(msg)
lexer := hedi.NewLexer(reader)
tokens, err := lexer.Tokens()
if err != nil {
  // ...
}

Parsing

msg := "ISA*01*0000000000*01*0000000000*ZZ*ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO*ZZ*123456789012345*101127*1719*U*00400*000003438*0*P*>~"
reader := strings.NewReader(msg)
parser := hedi.NewParser(reader)
segments, err := parser.Segments()
if err != nil {
  // ...
}

Serialization

Stringer

Hedi's EDI types implement the String() string stringer interface for simple string serialization.

To override the default delimiters, you can use DString(d hedi.Delimiters) string, which Stringer depends on under the hood.

segments := hedi.Segments{{
  ID: "ST",
  Elements: hedi.Elements{{ Value: "850" }, { Value: "000000010" }},
}}

fmt.Println(segments)
// ST*850*000000010~

delimiters := hedi.Delimeters{
  Segment: '\n',
  Element: '|',
  SubElement: '>',
}
	
fmt.Println(segments.DString(delimiters))
// ST|850|000000010
//

WriterTo

Hedi's Segments EDI type implements the WriterTo interface for efficient string serialization to an io.Writer.

To override the default delimiters, you can use DWriteTo(d hedi.Delimiters, w io.Writer) (int64, error), which WriteTo depends on under the hood.

file, _ := os.Create("850.txt")
if err != nil {
  // ...
}
defer file.Close()

segments := hedi.Segments{{
  ID: "ST",
  Elements: hedi.Elements{{ Value: "850" }, { Value: "000000010" }},
}}

_, err = segments.WriteTo(file)
if err != nil {
  // ...
}
