pick a system for picking an action to run based on user commands #6

Closed MoralCode closed 3 years ago

MoralCode commented 3 years ago

currently all I can come up with as a system for running an Action is just to hardcode a list of string commands and map that to whatever class or function is needed to run that action. I feel like there must be a better way to do this but I cant think of it

This may also need to be more of a "pipeline" or "sequence of actions" type thing, for example if you need to run a normalize action to make addresses and coordinates more consistent, then an associate action to match up entries from the two datasets, then a third compare action to look through the association list and spit out shared and missing entries for each DB

I have come to rezlize that this aspect of the project is not actually that necessary and is mainly a result of my over-ambition and over-scoping of the project. For now, the only "action" performed can be to compare two datasets and run the results through the correct output class to generate the desired function.
