Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be cool a param to avoid TableToNumPyArray or just set the default as the other way.
from arcgis.features import GeoAccessor
import os
gdb_path = r"<path>"
feature_name = r"<featurename>"
df1 = GeoAccessor.from_table(os.path.join(gdb_path, feature_name), skip_nulls=False, null_value='')
The problem is using de search cursor would return a format with pd.NA, Int32, and so on....
Describe the solution you'd like
The default to be the search cursor implementation,
Describe alternatives you've considered
When using tables I`m copying the code from the GeoAccessor and putting it a function or class, like below
def arcpy_to_df(table_path: str, where: Optional[str]=None) -> Union[pd.DataFrame, None]:
"""
ETL to load arcpy to pandas DataFrame
:param table_path: full path to table (gdb, sde or shape)
:param where: Optional, SQL where clause to filter data
"""
with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(
in_table=table_path,
field_names="*",
where_clause=where,
) as scur:
array = [row for row in scur]
df = pd.DataFrame(array, columns=scur.fields)
try:
return df.convert_dtypes()
except Exception:
return df
