getListOfDeputes function

Future<List<DeputesFromCsv>> getListOfDeputes({
  1. String pathToDeputes = "https://data.assemblee-nationale.fr/static/openData/repository/16/amo/deputes_actifs_csv_opendata/liste_deputes_excel.csv",
  2. required Directory mainDirectory,
  3. bool forceRefresh = false,
})

If needed, download the CSV Excel-format from National Assembly open data. In any case, convert downloaded data :

• pathToDeputes is the path to AN Deputees. If not provided, uses the default Path.

• mainDirectory is the required Directory to download and extract files. You can use App Support directory for instance.

• forceRefresh is a boolean to force the refresh of Open Data files.
