def self.normalize_member_type(type)
  return :non_member if type.nil?

  case type.upcase
    when 'COMP' then :member
    when 'LIFE' then :member
    when 'STUM' then :student
    when 'PENS' then :student
    when 'RG1' then :member
    when 'RG2' then :member
    when 'RETM' then :member
    when 'UADV' then :member
    when 'MEM' then :member
    when 'PEND' then :member
    when 'PENRG' then :member
    when 'EMPL' then :member
    else :non_member
  end
end

.parse_boolean(string) ⇒ Object

ISACA passes booleans as a string representation, this method helps parse these representations.

Parameters:

  • string (String) —

    The string representation of a boolean. (e.g. “True”, “false”, “False”). If nil this method will return false.

def self.parse_boolean(string)
  return false if string.nil?
  string.downcase == 'true' ? true : false
end

.strptime(string_time, format = '%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p') ⇒ DateTime

ISACA seems to use the default format to pass datetimes. This method exists so you don’t have to remember the parse format.

Parameters:

  • string_time (String) —

    The time passed by ISACA.

  • format (String) (defaults to: '%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p') —

    The format of the time.

Returns:

  • (DateTime)
