quote values of type String

Open close2 opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

[ '1', 3 ] should result in '"1",3' Currently 1 is not quoted.

No, this is not correct. In CSV there is no difference between 1,3 and "1",3. There is no int and string type in CSV like you might be thinking.

Agreed.

I've also received a bug report that numbers are not always quoted, which shouldn't be necessary.

I guess quoting behavior should be an enum: always,onlyStrings,onlyWhenNecessary (something like that) This should be easy to implement, and make everyone happy.

Not sure about the default however.

The enum would be nice. As for the default, I recommend quoting only when it is required. This will result in the smallest file size and will be easier to read the raw output.

I also get : "A value of type 'dynamic' can't be assigned to a variable of type 'String'." In : lib/csv_settings_autodetection.dart
