CMS Import to convert a CSV value to Vendr Price
Richard,

I am tryign to use a custom IFieldProvider class to convert a csv value to a Vendr Price.

Speaking with Matt it looks like the object structure should be like this:
```
{"A GUID HERE", "A PRICE HERE"}
```
However, when I run my import it does not fire my custom controller Parse method at all, am i missing something here?

If I get this working, my plan is to take a stab at the complex variants for Vendr as well, but I need to take baby steps here.

Here is my current class I am working with:
```
public class VendrCurrencyFieldProvider : IFieldProvider
{
    private readonly IContentService _contentService;
    public VendrCurrencyFieldProvider(IContentService contentService)
    {
        _contentService = contentService;
    }

    public object Parse(object value, ImportPropertyInfo property, FieldProviderOptions fieldProviderOptions)
    {
        var price = Decimal.Parse(value.AsString());
        var data = new Dictionary<string, decimal> {
            { new Guid().ToString(), price }
    };
        return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
    }
}
```
It just takes in the current value and grabs the price and I create the data structure and serialize it before sending it back.

Thanks

Richard,

I solved this and will be moving onto the Vendr Complex Variant import etc.

Here is my solution from a CSV file data source that originated from Wordpress/WooCommerce. This may be of use to you in the future, feel free to use as you see fit.

//need to have the editor alias from vendr to tell CMS import to only run this when we are importing into the Vendr Price field
[FieldProvider(PropertyEditorAlias = "Vendr.Price")]
public class VendrCurrencyFieldProvider : IFieldProvider
{
    private readonly IContentService _contentService;
    public VendrCurrencyFieldProvider(IContentService contentService)
    {
        _contentService = contentService;
    }

    public object Parse(object value, ImportPropertyInfo property, FieldProviderOptions fieldProviderOptions)
    {

        //create new decimal to hold value
        var price = new Decimal();

        //if value is blank in your source file (I used CSV) then compensate for that and place a value you
        //would know into the price field so you can either manually change it or account for it in some way
        if(value != null && value.AsString() != "")
        {
            price = Decimal.Parse(value.AsString());
        }
        else
        {
            price = Decimal.Parse("1234.56");
        }

        //create the data structure you need to send the data in
        //in the case of Vendr.Price you need { currencyId guid (found in back office) , price value from source file }
        var data = new Dictionary<string, decimal> {
            { "05c1c00a-fd2d-41f9-b5af-017d7c739f60", price }
        };

        //serialize the data and return the value - done
        return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
    }
}

Great it's solved Kyle and thanks that we can use this... I was about to reply on your original question that you were missing the Fieldprovider attribute
```
[FieldProvider(PropertyEditorAlias = "Vendr.Price")]
```
Best,

Richard
