## Installation

### Using uv (Recommended)

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd gen-ibans

# Install with uv
uv sync
```

### Using pip

```bash
pip install -e .
```

## Quick Start

```bash
# Generate 5 IBANs using automatically downloaded data
gen-ibans gen --count 5

# Generate IBANs with a specific seed for reproducibility
gen-ibans gen --count 10 --seed 12345

# Generate and save to JSON file
gen-ibans gen --count 100 --format json --output banks.json
```

## Usage

### Command Line Interface

The tool can be used with automatically downloaded data or local files:

#### Automatic Data Download (Recommended)
```bash
# Use latest data from Bundesbank (CSV format)
gen-ibans gen --count 5

# Force download of fresh data
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --force-download

# Use XML format from Bundesbank
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --download-format xml

# Disable version checking (use cached data)
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --no-version-check
```

#### Local Data Files
```bash
# Use local CSV file
gen-ibans gen data/blz-aktuell-csv-data.csv --count 5

# Use local TXT file
gen-ibans gen data/blz-aktuell-txt-data.txt --count 10

# Use local XML file
gen-ibans gen data/blz-aktuell-xml-data.xml --count 20
```

### Output Formats

```bash
# Plain text output (default)
gen-ibans gen --count 3

# JSON format to stdout
gen-ibans gen --count 3 --format json

# Save to CSV file
gen-ibans gen --count 100 --format csv --output results.csv

# Save to file without stdout echo
gen-ibans gen --count 50 --format json --output data.json --no-echo

# XML format
gen-ibans gen --count 10 --format xml --output banks.xml
```

### Output Control Options

```bash
# Only IBANs without any additional information
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --iban-only

# Exclude personal information
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --no-personal-info

# Exclude bank information
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --no-bank-info

# Clean mode: suppress all informational messages
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --clean
```

### Field Selection (--fields)

Use --fields to precisely control which fields are emitted, independent of --iban-only/--no-*

Supported fields: iban, bank_name, bic, blz, holders, beneficiaries

Examples:

```bash
# Only IBANs (equivalent to --iban-only)
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --fields "iban"

# IBAN and BIC to CSV
gen-ibans gen --count 10 --format csv --output out.csv --fields "iban,bic"

# Custom TXT/stdout with selected fields
gen-ibans gen --count 3 --fields "iban,bank_name,holders"

# JSON with selected fields only
gen-ibans gen --count 2 --format json --fields "iban,blz"
```

Config file alternative (config.toml):

```toml
[cli]
# Overrides include/exclude flags when set
fields = ["iban", "bic"]
```

### Bank Filter Options

Use powerful regex filters to constrain which banks are used for IBAN generation.

```bash
# Filter by bank name (case-insensitive regex)
# Matches names containing "Sparkasse" or "Volksbank"
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --filter-bank-name "(Sparkasse|Volksbank)"

# Filter by BIC (case-insensitive regex)
# Example: all BICs starting with DEUTDEFF
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --filter-bic "DEUTDEFF.*"

# Filter by BLZ (Bankleitzahl) using regex (case-sensitive)
# Exact match example for 37040044
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --filter-blz "^37040044$"

# Combine multiple filters (banks must match ALL provided filters)
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --filter-bank-name "bundesbank" --filter-bic "markdeff.*"
```

Notes:
- filter-bank-name and filter-bic are matched with case-insensitive regex (re.IGNORECASE).
- filter-blz uses a case-sensitive regex (exact digits), so use anchors for exact matching.
- If no banks match the filters, the command fails with an error.
- Invalid regex patterns will raise an error with a helpful message.
- Filters can also be set in config.toml under the [cli] section.

### Advanced Options

#### PRNG and Seeding
- The generator uses Python's `random.Random`, which implements the Mersenne Twister (MT19937) PRNG.
- You can provide a `--seed` to produce deterministic, reproducible results across runs and platforms.
- If no seed is provided, a time-based seed is generated and printed in verbose outputs where applicable.
- Note: MT19937 is not a cryptographically secure PRNG. For cryptographic use-cases, a CSPRNG like `secrets.SystemRandom` should be used; this tool focuses on simulation/testing realism, not cryptography.

```bash
# Specify custom cache directory
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --cache-dir /path/to/cache

# Use specific seed for reproducible results
gen-ibans gen --count 10 --seed 42

# Disable colored output
gen-ibans gen --count 5 --no-color

# Multiple format example with all options
gen-ibans gen --count 20 --seed 12345 --format json --output detailed.json --download-format xml --clean
```

### Konfiguration per Datei

Du kannst Standardwerte für die Generierung bequem über eine Konfigurationsdatei setzen. CLI-Parameter haben immer Vorrang gegenüber Werten aus der Datei.

- Standard-Speicherort (wird automatisch verwendet, wenn vorhanden):
  - Windows: %APPDATA%\gen-ibans\config.toml
  - Linux: ~/.config/gen-ibans/config.toml
  - macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/gen-ibans/config.toml

- Datei-Format: TOML. Die Datei ist ausführlich kommentiert und enthält zusätzlich auskommentierte Varianten.
  - [generator]: fachliche Generierungs-Parameter (Wahrscheinlichkeiten/Verteilungen)
  - [downloader]: Standardverhalten für automatischen Download (Format, Cache, Version-Check)
  - [cli]: Standardwerte für CLI-Optionen (count, seed, Ausgabeformat/-pfad, Flags)

- Beispielinhalt (Auszug):

```toml
# gen-ibans Konfigurationsdatei (TOML)
[generator]
# Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass der Kontoinhaber eine juristische Person ist (0..1).
legal_entity_probability = 0.05

# Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass natürliche Personen wirtschaftlich tätig sind (0..1).
economically_active_probability = 0.20

# Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass wirtschaftlich Berechtigte juristische Personen sind (derzeit 0).
beneficiary_legal_entity_probability = 0.0

# Verteilung der Anzahl der Kontoinhaber als Liste von [max_anzahl, wahrscheinlichkeit].
# Beispiel (Default): ein Inhaber 70%, zwei Inhaber 15%, bis 10: 14%, bis 100: 0.9%, bis 1000: 0.1%
account_holder_distribution = [[1, 0.70], [2, 0.15], [10, 0.14], [100, 0.009], [1000, 0.001]]
# Variante (kommentiert): höhere Mehrpersonenkonten
# account_holder_distribution = [[1, 0.60], [2, 0.25], [10, 0.13], [100, 0.019], [1000, 0.001]]

# Verteilung der Anzahl wirtschaftlich Berechtigter als Liste von [max_anzahl, wahrscheinlichkeit].
beneficial_owner_distribution = [[0, 0.70], [1, 0.20], [2, 0.05], [10, 0.04], [50, 0.009], [1000, 0.001]]
# Variante: häufiger 1 wirtschaftlich Berechtigter
# beneficial_owner_distribution = [[0, 0.50], [1, 0.35], [2, 0.10], [10, 0.04], [50, 0.009], [1000, 0.001]]

# WID Verteilung (nur natürliche Personen).
# 0 -> 00000 (Kein Unterscheidungsmerkmal), 1 -> 00001, 10 -> 00002-00010, 99999 -> >=00011 (00011-99999)
wid_feature_distribution = [[0, 0.70], [1, 0.10], [10, 0.099], [99999, 0.001]]
# Variante:
# wid_feature_distribution = [[0, 0.50], [1, 0.20], [10, 0.29], [99999, 0.01]]

# Wiederverwendung von Personen (wie oft dieselbe Person vorkommt) als [max_anzahl, wahrscheinlichkeit].
person_reuse_distribution = [[1, 0.8], [2, 0.1], [5, 0.05], [15, 0.03], [50, 0.019], [200, 0.001]]
# Variante: mehr Wiederverwendung im Long Tail
# person_reuse_distribution = [[1, 0.7], [2, 0.15], [5, 0.07], [15, 0.05], [50, 0.028], [200, 0.002]]

[downloader]
# Standardformat beim automatischen Download von der Bundesbank (csv|txt|xml).
download_format = "csv"
# Erzwinge Neu-Download auch wenn Cache vorhanden ist.
force_download = false
# Optionaler Cache-Ordner (Pfad als String).
# cache_dir = ".\\cache"
# Online-Versionsprüfung deaktivieren (nur Cache-Alter nutzen).
no_version_check = false

[cli]
# Standardanzahl zu generierender IBANs, wenn nicht per CLI angegeben.
count = 1
# Fester Seed für deterministische Ergebnisse (optional).
# seed = 12345
# Ausgabeformat (txt|csv|xml|json); leer bedeutet Plain-Text.
# output_format = "json"
# Ausgabedatei-Pfad; leer bedeutet stdout.
# output = ".\\ibans.json"
# Unterdrücke stdout, wenn in Datei geschrieben wird.
no_echo = false
# Nur IBANs ohne Bank- und Personendaten ausgeben.
iban_only = false
# Personenbezogene Daten ausblenden.
no_personal_info = false
# Bankinformationen ausblenden.
no_bank_info = false
# Zusätzliche Informationsmeldungen unterdrücken.
clean = false
# Farbige Ausgabe deaktivieren.
no_color = false
```

- Konfigurationsdatei erstellen (mit Standardwerten, Doku und Varianten):

```bash
# Zeige den verwendeten Konfigurationspfad an
gen-ibans --show-config-path

# Erstellt die Datei am Standard-Speicherort (siehe oben)
gen-ibans init

# Optional: an benutzerdefiniertem Pfad erstellen
gen-ibans init --path ".\\mein-config.toml"

# Optional: globales Zielverzeichnis über Gruppen-Option angeben (wirkt auf Unterkommandos)
# Beispiel: init schreibt dann nach ".\\mein-ordner\\config.toml"
gen-ibans --config-dir ".\\mein-ordner" init
```

Hinweise:
- Fehlt die Datei, werden Bibliotheks-Defaults verwendet.
- Werte aus der Datei werden automatisch geladen, können aber jederzeit per CLI-Option überschrieben werden (CLI > Datei > Defaults).

### Wie ist max_uses definiert?

In der Personen‑Wiederverwendung nutzt der Generator eine geplante Nutzungszahl pro Basis‑Person, genannt max_uses.
So wird max_uses bestimmt:
- Die Konfiguration person_reuse_distribution ist eine Liste von Paaren [max_anzahl, wahrscheinlichkeit].
- Zuerst wird ein „Bucket“ gemäß der angegebenen Wahrscheinlichkeit ausgewählt.
- Anschließend wird eine ganze Zahl gleichverteilt im Intervall [1..max_anzahl] gezogen. Genau dieser Wert ist max_uses, also die geplante Gesamtanzahl, wie oft eine Person über alle Datensätze hinweg vorkommen darf.
- Der Wert 1 bedeutet: keine Wiederverwendung (die Person kommt genau einmal vor).

Beispiel (Default):
- person_reuse_distribution = [[1, 0.8], [2, 0.1], [5, 0.05], [15, 0.03], [50, 0.019], [200, 0.001]]
  - 80% der Personen erhalten max_uses=1
  - 10% der Personen erhalten einen Wert gleichverteilt aus [1..2]
  - 5% der Personen erhalten einen Wert gleichverteilt aus [1..5]
  - … und so weiter, was einen realistischen Long‑Tail erzeugt.

Hinweis zur Performance/Speicher: Im Generator werden Erschöpfte Einträge (current_uses >= max_uses) regelmäßig aus dem Pool entfernt, um Speicherwachstum zu vermeiden.

### Python Module Usage

```python
from gen_ibans import IBANGenerator

# Initialize with local file
generator = IBANGenerator('data/blz-aktuell-csv-data.csv', seed=12345)

# Generate single IBAN record
record = generator.generate_iban()
print(f"IBAN: {record.iban}")
print(f"Person: {record.person.full_name}")
print(f"Bank: {record.bank.name} ({record.bank.bic})")

# Generate multiple IBANs
records = generator.generate_ibans(10)
for record in records:
    print(f"{record.iban} | {record.person.full_name} | {record.bank.name}")

# Access bank information
print(f"Loaded {generator.get_bank_count()} banks")
print(f"Using seed: {generator.seed}")
```

### IBAN Validation

```python
from gen_ibans import validate_iban

# Validate IBAN
is_valid = validate_iban("DE89370400440532013000")
print(f"IBAN is valid: {is_valid}")
```

## Development

### Prerequisites for Python Beginners

If you're new to Python development, you'll need to install a few tools first. This section provides step-by-step instructions for setting up your development environment.

#### Step 1: Install Python

First, you need Python 3.8 or higher installed on your system.

##### On Windows:
1. Download Python from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
2. Run the installer and **make sure to check "Add Python to PATH"**
3. Verify installation by opening Command Prompt and running:
   ```cmd
   python --version
   ```

##### On macOS:
1. Install using Homebrew (recommended):
   ```bash
   # Install Homebrew if not already installed
   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   
   # Install Python
   brew install python
   ```
2. Or download from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
3. Verify installation:
   ```bash
   python3 --version
   ```

##### On Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):
```bash
# Update package list
sudo apt update

# Install Python and pip
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip

# Verify installation
python3 --version
```

#### Step 2: Install mise (Python Version Manager)

mise is a tool that helps manage different versions of programming languages, including Python.

##### On Windows:
1. Install using PowerShell:
   ```powershell
   # Using winget (Windows Package Manager)
   winget install jdx.mise
   
   # Or using Scoop
   scoop install mise
   ```
2. Restart your terminal and verify:
   ```cmd
   mise --version
   ```

##### On macOS:
```bash
# Using Homebrew
brew install mise

# Or using curl
curl https://mise.run | sh

# Verify installation
mise --version
```

##### On Linux:
```bash
# Using curl
curl https://mise.run | sh

# Add to your shell profile (e.g., ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc)
echo 'eval "$(mise activate bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc

# Reload your shell or run:
source ~/.bashrc

# Verify installation
mise --version
```

#### Step 3: Install uv (Fast Python Package Manager)

uv is a modern, fast Python package manager that replaces pip in many workflows.

##### On Windows:
```powershell
# Using PowerShell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

# Or using winget
winget install --id=astral-sh.uv -e

# Verify installation
uv --version
```

##### On macOS:
```bash
# Using Homebrew
brew install uv

# Or using curl
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Verify installation
uv --version
```

##### On Linux:
```bash
# Using curl
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Add uv to your PATH (usually done automatically)
# If needed, add this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

# Verify installation
uv --version
```

#### Step 4: Verify Your Setup

Once you have Python, mise, and uv installed, verify everything works:

```bash
# Check Python version (should be 3.8 or higher)
python --version

# Check mise
mise --version

# Check uv
uv --version
```

You're now ready to proceed with the development setup!

#### Quick Setup with Bootstrap Scripts

For a fully automated setup, you can use our platform-specific bootstrap scripts that will install all prerequisites and dependencies:

##### Windows (PowerShell)
```powershell
# Download and run the Windows bootstrap script
./bootstrap-windows.ps1
```

##### Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)
```bash
# Make script executable and run
chmod +x bootstrap-linux.sh
./bootstrap-linux.sh
```

##### macOS
```bash
# Make script executable and run
chmod +x bootstrap-macos.sh
./bootstrap-macos.sh
```

**What the bootstrap scripts do:**
- **Windows**: Installs Scoop, Python, mise, and uv automatically
- **Linux**: Installs Python, mise, and uv via apt and official installers
- **macOS**: Installs Homebrew, Python, mise, and uv automatically
- **All platforms**: Sets up shell integration and installs project dependencies

After running the bootstrap script, you can proceed directly to development!

### Releases

To create a new release of this project:

1. **Create and push a version tag**:
   ```bash
   # Create a new tag for the next release (don’t run until after merge into master/main)
   # Next planned release: v2.1.2
    # When ready:
    # git tag v2.1.2
    # git push origin v2.1.2
   ```

2. **Automatic process**: Once you push a tag starting with `v*`, GitHub Actions will automatically:
   - Run all tests across multiple Python versions and operating systems
   - Build the package using `uv build`
   - Create a GitHub release with release notes
   - Publish the package to PyPI (if `PYPI_TOKEN` secret is configured)

3. **Monitor the release**: Check the [Actions tab](https://github.com/swallat/gen-ibans/actions) to see the release progress.

### Local PyPI Publishing

If you want to publish to PyPI locally instead of using the automated GitHub Actions workflow, follow these steps:

#### Prerequisites

1. **PyPI Account**: You need a PyPI account and API token
2. **API Token**: Generate an API token from [PyPI Account Settings](https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/)

#### Step-by-Step Local Publishing

1. **Set up your PyPI API token**:
   ```bash
   # Option 1: Set as environment variable (recommended)
   $env:UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN="pypi-your-api-token-here"
   
   # Option 2: Or use uv's built-in credential storage
   uv publish --token "pypi-your-api-token-here" --dry-run
   ```

2. **Clean previous builds** (optional but recommended):
   ```bash
   Remove-Item -Recurse -Force dist\*
   ```

3. **Run tests** to ensure everything works:
   ```bash
   uv run pytest tests/ -v
   ```

4. **Build the package**:
   ```bash
   uv build
   ```
   This creates both wheel (`.whl`) and source distribution (`.tar.gz`) files in the `dist/` directory.

5. **Verify the build**:
   ```bash
   # Check what was built
   Get-ChildItem dist\
   
   # Optional: Install locally to test
   uv pip install dist\*.whl --force-reinstall
   ```

6. **Test publish** (dry run - highly recommended):
   ```bash
   uv publish --dry-run
   ```
   This simulates the upload without actually publishing.

7. **Publish to PyPI**:
   ```bash
   # Using environment variable
   uv publish
   
   # Or specify token directly
   uv publish --token "pypi-your-api-token-here"
   ```

#### Publishing to Test PyPI (Recommended for Testing)

Before publishing to the main PyPI, test with TestPyPI:

```bash
# Build the package
uv build

# Publish to Test PyPI
uv publish --publish-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ --token "testpypi-your-api-token-here"

# Test installation from Test PyPI
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ gen-ibans
```

#### Troubleshooting

- **Authentication errors**: Ensure your API token is correct and has upload permissions
- **Version conflicts**: PyPI doesn't allow re-uploading the same version. Increment your version tag
- **Build errors**: Check that all files are committed and your working directory is clean
- **Missing dependencies**: Run `uv sync --dev` to ensure all build dependencies are installed

#### Security Notes

- **Never commit API tokens** to version control
- **Use environment variables** or uv's credential storage for tokens
- **Limit token scope** to only the packages you need to upload
- **Revoke tokens** when no longer needed

### Requirements
- **Python**: 3.8 or higher
- **Dependencies**: 
  - `click >= 8.0.0` - CLI framework
  - `faker >= 20.0.0` - Fake data generation
- **Development Dependencies**:
  - `pytest >= 8.3.5` - Testing framework

### Testing

Run the comprehensive test suite:

```bash
# Run all tests with uv
uv run pytest tests/ -v

# Generate coverage and JUnit reports (configured in pytest.ini)
# Reports will be written to:
#  - JUnit XML:   reports\junit.xml
#  - Coverage XML: reports\coverage.xml
#  - Coverage HTML: reports\html\index.html
uv run pytest -q

# Run specific test modules
uv run pytest tests/test_iban_generator.py -v
uv run pytest tests/test_cli.py -v
uv run pytest tests/test_format_encoding.py -v

# Run with unittest
python -m unittest discover tests -v
```

Linting:

```bash
# Mit mise Tasks (empfohlen)
# Lint-Check mit Ruff
mise run lint

# Auto-Fix und Formatierung mit Ruff
mise run lint-fix

# Alternativ direkt mit uv
uv run ruff check
uv run ruff check --fix
# Optional (falls genutzt): Formatierung anwenden
uv run ruff format .
```

### Building and Installation

```bash
# Install development dependencies
uv sync --dev

# Install in development mode
uv pip install -e .

# Run tests
uv run pytest tests/
```

## IBAN Format

German IBANs follow this structure:
- **Length**: 22 characters
- **Format**: `DE` + 2 check digits + 8-digit bank code + 10-digit account number
- **Example**: `DE89370400440532013000`
- **Validation**: MOD-97 checksum algorithm

The tool generates IBANs with:
- Correct check digits using MOD-97 algorithm
- Valid German bank codes from real Bundesbank data
- Random but realistic account numbers
- Proper formatting and validation
