Workbook file reader that displays content in html
To demonstrate my skills as a developer using Go language

The Assignment Submission

The implementaion strategy uses the file extension to determine which strategy to use for reading.
Two(2) Line readers are created within the FilePage object to properly match columns in the input file . Common functions for parsing, reading, matching and storing are implemented in the object wrapper to enable proper testing.

Running The Code

The codebase consists of 2 go files: file_page.go and file_page_test.go

• Keep the 2(.prn and .csv) files in the same directory as the file_page.go
• on the terminal, simple invoke:

> go run file_page.go

An output.html file will be generated. Simply click on the file to view display in html

> go test

For resolving missing package for text/encoding, please execute this command

go get "golang.org/x/text/encoding"

TODO - Improvement

To improve on the software produced:

• I would provide a JSON config file as configuration to where files will be loaded from

• I wanted to make the config for the application as easy as possible, so I decided to use a JSON config file that would get read on program start up, and used throughout the lifecycle. The config.json file that has the following format:

  {"directory":"", output:"", "stylesheets":""} 

• Provide more tests and data for performance measurement
