Add Custom Cell Sanitize

[joel]

Custom cell sanitising

By default cell values are stripped, that means " Bob Elvis " become "Bob Elvis", however you may want to go further and get rid of the inner extra spaces that often present on cell value and get the proper "Bob Elvis"
To do that, add an initialiser config/initializers/csv_importer.rb and define you proper rules.

require 'csv_importer'
module CSVImporter
 def self.sanitize_cell(raw_value)
   raw_value.to_s
     .gsub(/[\b\s\u00A0]+/, ' ') # Normalize white space
     .strip # Remove trailing white space
 end
end

Plus + You can create general behaviour here:

require 'csv_importer'
module CSVImporter
 def self.sanitize_cell(raw_value)
   if %(y yes t true 1).inlcude?(raw_value)
     'YES'
   else 
     raw_value
   end 
 end
end

Thanks for putting this together. It's a very useful addition. Let me think a bit about the implementation. While monkey patching a method is easy, I'm not 💯 sure that's the way I'd like to provide this feature.

@pcreux sure, some source of inspiration https://github.com/s12chung/csv_row_model#attribute-values ;-)
