Stream CSV Reader

Really simple project used to read the contents of a file as a stream. In the case of this proof of concept project, the file type is CSV.

The implementation of this proof of concept is adapting the method java.io.BufferedReader#lines() in order to be able to provide a stream of custom objects, instead of a stream of String objects (the lines of the file).

Inspiration for this proof of concept came from the tutorial presented on mykong's page.

By rewriting the CSV record reader code in this fashion, the code looks much more simplified:

try (Stream<Product> stream = new RecordsCSVReader<Product>("products.csv", PRODUCT_READER)
        .products()) {
    stream.forEach(System.out::println);
} catch (IOException e) {
    throw new RuntimeException("Exception occurred while retrieving the product records", e);
}
