Feature Enhancement: Dynamic Folder Loading

[ItsRikan]

Problem

read_folder currently requires a fixed file type and cannot dynamically load mixed file formats from a directory.

Proposed Solution

Add dynamic: bool parameter to read_folder

When enabled, automatically detect and load supported file types (CSV, JSON, Excel, etc.) and merge them into a single DataFrame.

Progress

✅ Feature is already implemented

🔄 Open to feedback and ready to refactor or split PRs if needed

Why This Helps

• Simplifies data ingestion from heterogeneous datasets

• Improves DsKit’s usability for real-world datasets

I’d like to work on this enhancement.

I plan to implement a dynamic option for read_folder that automatically detects and loads supported file types (CSV, JSON, Excel, etc.) from a directory and merges them into a single DataFrame. I’ll ensure clear behavior, consistent return types, and proper error handling for unsupported or malformed files, along with tests and documentation updates.

Happy to adjust the approach based on maintainers’ suggestions.
