Playground to read EDI files, starting with 835 because why not!
I'm not new to MMIS systems but wanted to get deeper in the claims processing part, and what a better way to learn a system than building parts of it!
First iteration is to read the the file contents and parse it's components, get famililar with the loops and segments Then phase 2 write the file itself from other sources.

I'm writing this in rust but in python style, as I'm still learning rust!
Make it work <= we are here
Make it right
Make it fast

I'm using Amazon CodeWhisperer to help me with this new endeavour if there are any code references I'll include them here.

Used example file from https://x12.org/examples/005010x221 located at the src dir, will not be included in the repo (gitignored)

To provide EDI file use -f then the file name.
To specify the output file use -o then output the file name.
cargo run -f <edifilepath> -o <outputfile> or the compiled version ./edi -f <edifilepath> -o <outputfile> for *nix and .\edi.exe -f <edifilepath> -o <outputfile> for Windows.
If no file path provided the demo file will be used as input.

If file path is provided in the 2nd place after the file name it will be used to dump the json,
otherwise json output will be written in out.json file cargo run -f <edifilepath> -o <outputfile>

to start locally:
cargo run <edifilepath> to read your edi file
cargo run will attempt to run a demo file
RUST_LOG=info cargo run -f ./data/X221-claim-adjustment-reason-code-45.edi example of passing in a file and setting log level

• implement logger
• check if the file passed is 835, this can be read from ST835
• Check against the guide how many of each segment is in each loop
• Table 1: there are 3 PERs, 2 are optional and the required one may come in the middle
• Adding parameterized input, -f for file -o for output etc.
• Adding Write EDI 835 functionality
• Finding some mismatches between the standard and the implementation of EDI835!!!
• 999 have segment loops, similar to 835, need to write the logic for these.
• Make it safer when something does not exist
• More cool things
