Support passing `fieldAssignments` as an input to pre-assign columns
Hi, thanks so much for this importer, I'm using it in a side project and finding it very useful.
I've one feature request: could you add a property to pre-define column assignments? For instance: if I pass a CSV with columns "one, two, three", and I want to assign those to the fields "a, b, c", I want to be able to pass
<Importer
...
fieldsAssignments={{ 'a': 'one', 'b': 'two', 'c': 'three' }}
// or by index
fieldsAssignments={{ 'a': 0, 'b': 1, 'c': 2 }}
>
This would have the effect of having the columns already assigned (but still editable), once the user lands on the Fields selection step. My use case is that I'll be dealing with csvs from different sources pretty regularly, with different formats, and I'd like to automate that step by letting the user save some presets with the mapping on the server side.
Thanks
An alternative would be to add a property to the ImporterField
to preselect a column
<ImporterField name="a" label="A" defaultColumn="one" />
<ImporterField name="b" label="B" defaultColumn="two" />
<ImporterField name="c" label="C" defaultColumn="three" />
