Paypal?

[KayTaneJupiter]

I don't see an obvious "mapping" for Paypal. Am I missing something? Surely that's the #1 conversion problem most people want. If it has to be done manually, how does the custom mapping file work? Docs say "New mappings must be placed in the csv2ofx/mappings folder" but it's not clear where this file path is supposed to be. From the same working directory as the .CSV file to be converted?

I see issues with Paypal CSV files, they have price conversion and other useless data... I managed to do some mappings, but had to preprocess the file before :(

(this is ruby for paypal configured in English, but with everything paid in euros)

require 'csv'

csv_src = CSV.read("paypal.csv", :quote_char => '"', liberal_parsing: true, headers: true, header_converters: :symbol)

currency = "EUR"
disallowed_types = ["General Authorization", "Void of Authorization", "General Credit Card Deposit"]
conversion = { 'USD' => 0.85, 'CAD' => 0.69}

named_other_currency_row_buffer = []
out = []

csv_src.each do |row|
    if disallowed_types.include?(row[4])
        next
    end

    row[:amount].sub!(/,/,".")
    row[:balance].sub!(/,/,".")

    if(!named_other_currency_row_buffer.empty?)
        if row[:name] == '' and row[:currency] == currency
            named_other_currency_row_buffer[:currency] = row[:currency]
            named_other_currency_row_buffer[:amount] = row[:amount]
            named_other_currency_row_buffer[:balance] = row[:balance]
            out << named_other_currency_row_buffer
            named_other_currency_row_buffer = []
            next
        end
    end

    if row[:currency] != currency and row[:name] != ''
        if(!named_other_currency_row_buffer.empty?)

            puts "did not find conversion for : " + named_other_currency_row_buffer[:name] + " for " + named_other_currency_row_buffer[:amount] + named_other_currency_row_buffer[:currency] 
            if(conversion[row[:currency]] != '')
                named_other_currency_row_buffer[:amount] = '%.2f' % (named_other_currency_row_buffer[:amount].to_f * conversion[row[:currency]])
                named_other_currency_row_buffer[:balance] = '%.2f' % (named_other_currency_row_buffer[:balance].to_f * conversion[row[:currency]])
                named_other_currency_row_buffer[:currency] = currency
                puts "use arbitrary conversion of " + conversion[row[:currency]].to_s + " to " + named_other_currency_row_buffer[:amount].to_s
            end
            out << named_other_currency_row_buffer 
        end
        named_other_currency_row_buffer = row
        next
    end
    if row[:name] != ''
        out << row
        next
    end

end

CSV.open("pp_cleaned.csv", "w") do |csv|
    csv << csv_src.headers
    out.each do |to_w|
        csv << to_w
    end
end

Mapping can be :

from __future__ import (
    absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals)

from operator import itemgetter
import json
import hashlib

def find_type(transaction):
    amount = float(transaction.get('amount'))
    return 'credit' if amount > 0 else 'debit'

def gen_transaction_id(transaction):
    hasher = hashlib.sha256()
    stringified = json.dumps(transaction).encode('utf-8')
    hasher.update(stringified)
    return hasher.hexdigest()

mapping = {
    'has_header': True,
    'is_split': False,
    'bank': 'Paypal',
    'currency': 'EUR',
    'delimiter': ',',
    'account': 'Paypal checkings',
    'type': find_type,
    'date': itemgetter('date'),
    'amount': itemgetter('amount'),
    'payee': itemgetter('name'),
    'notes': itemgetter('receipt_id'),
    # 'desc': itemgetter('Payment reference'),
    'id': gen_transaction_id,
    # 'check_num': itemgetter('Field'),
    'balance' : itemgetter('balance')
}

Thanks @Tsht, feel free to submit a PR with this new mapping.
