# ImportBase

`class ImportBase`

Defined in [import_base.hpp:16](../../../../src/imports/import_base.hpp#L16)

Base class for importing data from a file.

This class provides a foundation for parsing files and managing system parts and signals. Derived classes must implement the ``parse`` method. method.

## Protected Attributes

### `Parts * prts`

📍 [import_base.hpp:19](../../../../src/imports/import_base.hpp#L19)

Pointer to the [Parts](../classes/Parts.md) object. object.

### `std::fstream file_lines`

📍 [import_base.hpp:20](../../../../src/imports/import_base.hpp#L20)

File stream for reading the input file.

## Public Functions

### `ImportBase(std::string file_name)`

📍 [import_base.hpp:30](../../../../src/imports/import_base.hpp#L30)

Constructor for [ImportBase](../classes/ImportBase.md)..

Initializes the file stream and creates new [Parts](../classes/Parts.md) and and [Signals](../classes/Signals.md) objects. objects.

**Parameters**

- `file_name` — Name of the file to be imported.

### `void parse(Signals *signals)=0`

📍 [import_base.hpp:42](../../../../src/imports/import_base.hpp#L42)

Pure virtual method for parsing the file.

Derived classes must implement this method to define how the file is parsed.

**Parameters**

- `signals` — Pointer to the signals object to be completed.

### `Parts * parts()`

📍 [import_base.hpp:48](../../../../src/imports/import_base.hpp#L48)

Retrieves the [Parts](../classes/Parts.md) object. object.

**Returns** Pointer to the [Parts](../classes/Parts.md) object.

### `~ImportBase()=default`

📍 [import_base.hpp:58](../../../../src/imports/import_base.hpp#L58)

Virtual destructor for [ImportBase](../classes/ImportBase.md)..

Ensures proper cleanup of derived classes.
