Helper utilities for creating events from imported data.

Provides functions for extracting coordinates, timestamps, and creating event data structures during the import process.

Functions

extractCoordinates()

extractCoordinates(row, fieldMappings, geocodingResults): object

Extract coordinates from a row based on field mappings and geocoding results. Priority: import coordinates from data > geocoded location > none

Parameters

row

Record<string, unknown>

fieldMappings
latitudePath?

string | null

longitudePath?

string | null

locationPath?

string | null

geocodingResults

ImportGeocodingResultsMap

Returns

object

location?

optional location: object

location.latitude

latitude: number

location.longitude

longitude: number

coordinateSource

coordinateSource: object

coordinateSource.type

type: "none" | "import" | "geocoded"

coordinateSource.confidence?

optional confidence: number

coordinateSource.normalizedAddress?

optional normalizedAddress: string


extractTimestamp()

extractTimestamp(row, timestampPath?): Date | null

Extract timestamp from row data using field mapping.

Parameters

row

Record<string, unknown>

timestampPath?

string | null

Returns

Date | null


createEventData()

createEventData(row, dataset, importJobId, job, geocodingResults, transformationChanges): object

Create event data structure from a row of imported data.

Parameters

row

Record<string, unknown>

dataset

Dataset

importJobId

string | number

job
datasetSchemaVersion?

unknown

detectedFieldMappings?

{ latitudePath?: string \| null; longitudePath?: string \| null; locationPath?: string \| null; locationNamePath?: string \| null; timestampPath?: string \| null; }

detectedFieldMappings.latitudePath?

string | null

detectedFieldMappings.longitudePath?

string | null

detectedFieldMappings.locationPath?

string | null

detectedFieldMappings.locationNamePath?

string | null

detectedFieldMappings.timestampPath?

string | null

geocodingResults

ImportGeocodingResultsMap

transformationChanges

object[] | null

Returns

object

dataset

dataset: number = dataset.id

importJob

importJob: number | undefined

data

data: Record<string, unknown> = row

uniqueId

uniqueId: string

eventTimestamp

eventTimestamp: string

location

location: { latitude: number; longitude: number; } | undefined

locationName

locationName: string | null

coordinateSource

coordinateSource: object

coordinateSource.type

type: "none" | "import" | "geocoded"

coordinateSource.confidence?

optional confidence: number

coordinateSource.normalizedAddress?

optional normalizedAddress: string

validationStatus

validationStatus: "pending" | "transformed"

transformations

transformations: object[] | null = transformationChanges

schemaVersionNumber

schemaVersionNumber: number | undefined = schemaVersion
