# Documentation: DTS.Common.Import.ImportOptions

## 1. Purpose

This module provides configuration option classes for data import operations within the DTS system. It defines three option classes—`EqxImportOptions`, `CsvImportOptions`, and `ZeroMethodOptions`—that encapsulate import behavior settings for EQX-format sensor imports, CSV file parsing, and zero method calibration configuration respectively. These classes serve as data transfer objects to parameterize import operations.

---

## 2. Public Interface

### Class: `EqxImportOptions`

**Namespace:** `DTS.Common.Import.ImportOptions`

Configuration options for EQX import operations.

| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `OverwriteExistingSensors` | `bool` | `true` | Controls whether existing sensors should be overwritten during import. |
| `ImportSensorModels` | `bool` | `true` | Controls whether sensor models should be imported. |

---

### Class: `CsvImportOptions`

**Namespace:** `DTS.Common.Import.ImportOptions`

Configuration options for CSV file parsing and import.

| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `Encoding` | `string` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the character encoding for the CSV file. |
| `FieldSeparator` | `string` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the field delimiter character(s) used in the CSV. |
| `ImportCulture` | `CultureInfo` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the culture settings for parsing culture-dependent data (e.g., number formats, dates). |
| `StripBackSlash` | `bool` | None (uninitialized) | Controls whether backslash characters should be removed during import. |

---

### Class: `ZeroMethodOptions`

**Namespace:** `DTS.Common.Import.ImportOptions`

Configuration options for zero method calibration settings.

| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `ZeroMethodType` | `ZeroMethodType` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the type of zero method to apply. Type is defined in `DTS.Common.Enums.Sensors`. |
| `ZeroMethodStart` | `double` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the start value for the zero method range. |
| `ZeroMethodEnd` | `double` | None (uninitialized) | Specifies the end value for the zero method range. |

---

## 3. Invariants

**Explicit invariants from source:** None. The classes contain only auto-implemented properties with no validation logic, constructors, or constraints visible in the source.

**Observations:**
- `EqxImportOptions` properties have explicit default values of `true`.
- `CsvImportOptions` and `ZeroMethodOptions` properties have no default values; consumers must initialize them.
- No nullability annotations are present; reference type properties (`Encoding`, `FieldSeparator`, `ImportCulture`) may be null at runtime if not explicitly set.

---

## 4. Dependencies

### This module depends on:
- `System` (core .NET types)
- `System.Collections.Generic` (generic collections)
- `System.Globalization` (`CultureInfo` type used in `CsvImportOptions`)
- `System.Linq` (LINQ support)
- `System.Text` (text encoding support)
- `System.Threading.Tasks` (async/task support)
- `DTS.Common.Enums.Sensors` (`ZeroMethodType` enum used in `ZeroMethodOptions`)

### Consumers:
Not determinable from the provided source files alone. These option classes are likely consumed by import service classes or handlers elsewhere in the `DTS.Common.Import` namespace or broader DTS system.

## 5. Gotchas

1. **`Encoding` is a `string`, not `System.Text.Encoding`:** The `CsvImportOptions.Encoding` property is declared as `string`, not the `System.Text.Encoding` type. Consumers must convert between string representations and actual encoding objects.

2. **Inconsistent default value patterns:** `EqxImportOptions` initializes both properties to `true`, while `CsvImportOptions` and `ZeroMethodOptions` leave all properties uninitialized. This inconsistency may lead to unexpected `null` or default value behavior if consumers assume all option classes follow the same initialization pattern.

3. **Unused imports:** Both files import `System.Collections.Generic`, `System.Linq`, `System.Text`, and `System.Threading.Tasks`, but none of these namespaces are referenced in the visible code. This may indicate legacy code or generated boilerplate.

4. **No validation or bounds checking:** `ZeroMethodOptions.ZeroMethodStart` and `ZeroMethodEnd` are raw `double` values with no validation. The relationship between start and end (e.g., whether start must be less than end) is not enforced at this level.
