Import from Fidme

[TheLastProject]

Fidme allows users to export their data by going to profile -> Data protection -> Extract my data. This sends a .zip file to the user's email address.

This zip file contains the following files:

user_profile.csv: User profile information (useless to Catima)
tickets.csv: Not quite sure what this is
loyalty_stamps.csv: Not quite sure what this is either
loyalty_stamp_rewards.csv: Again, not quite sure
loyalty_programs.csv: The loyalty cards the user has in a simple to parse CSV file
loyalty_points.csv: Not quite sure

So, we can support importing from this zip file by:

1. Allowing the user to select it
2. Unzip it
3. Parse the loyalty_programs.csv file

@mgohin: Would you be willing to test this feature when it is ready?

[mgohin]

O.M.G that's reactivity !
Of course I'll test it 👍

[mgohin]

do you have any idea when it'll be available on the android app ?

[TheLastProject]

I'm hoping to have a first prototype of this import available today or tomorrow, otherwise it'll be by the end of the week probably.

[mgohin]

Nice 👍
I'll wait until I have the import option and test it.

I'm ok to wipe app data and test until it's ok

I implemented it in b9e152e but I am a bit unsure about the notes the app allows you to add to your cards. Could you look into the ZIP file a Fidme export gives you? My test loyalty_programs.csv gave me the following:

Retailer;Program;Added At;Reference;Firstname;Lastname
Albert Heijn;Bonus Kaart;2021-03-24 16:47:47 UTC;123435363634;;

Anyway, I've attached a debug APK in the zip file below, please give it a try:
app-debug.zip

Import seems to work well.

But when I open a card, I don't have the barcodes, only the card code, and the note at the bottom seems truncated

[mgohin]

For the csv file :

Retailer;Program;Added At;Reference;Firstname;Lastname
Auchan;Carte Waaoh;2019-09-13 15:23:08 UTC;0491221702796;Stéphanie;

I'll fix the truncated note. Sadly the export format of Fidme doesn't seem to include any barcode information, it seems they just store the company name and have a loyalty card program database to know "Okay, company X uses Y barcodes". This could be fixed when we get #89 done, but sadly not before that. So this is as much as I can import, sadly.

I'll also look into the importing from an image file before the next release, so you could complete the info by doing Edit -> Barcode -> Edit Barcode for each card.

[mgohin]

Ok get it.

I confirm that notes are not exported (not sure it's often used).

Option to add a barcode from an image would be a good solution to me.

Without a company database I'm not sure fidme's import is convenient.

[TheLastProject]

I'll leave it implemented because it's better than nothing and maybe it'll get someone more interested in helping with #89, but I understand it is of limited use. Thanks for helping test!

[mgohin]

My pleasure.
Maybe add a little warning to explain that for now, barcode types will not be set

[TheLastProject]

I thought I did. Did the message not show up for you or did I phrase it unclearly?

[mgohin]

Crap, didn't read 😂

[TheLastProject]

Happens :)
