Feature Request: SampleSheet v2 support

[reisingerf]

Hi @clintval,

do you have any plans of supporting the new SampleSheet v2 format?

Seems Illumina has released new tools and along a new version of the Samplesheet.

Cheers,

Oh cool! Yes! I just started working on this again last week. Thanks for the headsup!

[reisingerf]

No worries!
We like your lib, happy to help.
I haven't seen official specs, but I'll let you know if I come across any.

[clintval]

Thanks, I'm actually working on an even more powerful API for this library and since you're using it a lot, would like to request if you'd like to demo it out once I have a prototype? My goal is to allow for more flexibility, modular validators, and serialization/deserialization ease for moving info in sample sheets to/from LIMS etc.

[reisingerf]

Yes, I think we'd be very interested.
In fact we are currently using your lib to do our custom validation of SampleSheets. Seems like a good fit...

Just wanted to ask if this is still on the agenda. I would be happy to help, since this would be useful for us.

@j4cko I haven't had the time as of late. PRs are welcome!

@clintval I just created a PR for adding SampleSheetV2 support. Please take a look.

Not sure if this project is still maintained.

If it's any consolation, I've built a module called v2-samplesheet-maker.
