ActiveExport

ActiveExport generate CSV/XML/YAML String or CSV/XML/YAML file.

You can write the logic of generating csv or xml, yaml to a YAML file.

Another Support:

• csv label adapt i18n.
• when the value of csv data is null or blank or true or false, change another label
  ex) nil to '', blank to 'empty', true to 'Yes', false to 'No'
  

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'active_export'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install active_export

Generate the config initializer file and default.yml

$ rails g active_export:install

ActiveExport::Csv.export(Book.scoped, source_name, namespace)
# => csv string
# "Title","AuthorName","Price(in tax)","Published"
# "Ruby","Bob","28","2012-08-01"
# "Rails","Alice","18","2012-07-01"

Price(in tax) 28 is (book.price * 1.095).ceil.to_i result.

YAML file:

namespace:
  label_prefix: 'book'
  methods:
    - name
    - author.name
    - price: '(price * 1.095).ceil.to_i'
    - created_at.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

Write the same way without the ActiveExport:

CSV.generate do |csv|
  csv << ['Title', 'Author', 'Price(in Tax)', 'Published Date']
    Book.all.each do |book|
      csv_data = []
      csv_data << book.name.blank? ? '' : book.name
      csv_data << book.author ? book.author.name : ''
      csv_data << (book.price * 1.095).ceil.to_i
      csv_data << book.created_at.blank? ? '' : book.created_at.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
      csv << csv_data
    end
  end
end

# Exporting Csv String
ActiveExport::Csv.export(Book.scoped, source_name, namespace)

# Exporting Csv File
ActiveExport::Csv.export_file(Book.scoped, source_name, namespace, filename)

# Exporting Xml String
ActiveExport::Xml.export(Book.scoped, source_name, namespace)

# Exporting Xml File
ActiveExport::Xml.export_file(Book.scoped, source_name, namespace, filename)

# Exporting Yaml String

Support 2 methods:

• export(data, source_name, namespace, options = {}) ... Generate Csv string
• export_file(data, source_name, namespace, filename, options = {}) ... Generate Csv file

options:

• :eval_methods ... override export method from YAML file.
• :label_keys ... override csv header label from YAML file.
• :label_prefix ... override csv header label prefix from YAML file.
• :csv_options ... Csv generate options.
• :header ... false to not export Csv header labels.

features:

• Support encoding

TODO

1. active_export.#{source_name}.#{namespace}.(label_prefix_)#{key}
2. activerecord.attributes.(label_prefix.)#{key}
3. activemodel.attributes.(label_prefix.)#{key}
4. #{key.to_s.gsub(".", "_").humanize}

ex)

key ... author.name
label_prefix ... book
source_name ... default
namespace ... book_1

1. `active_export.default.book_1.author_name`
2. `activerecord.attributes.author.name`
3. `activemode.attributes.author.name`
4. `author_name".humanize # => Author name`

ex2)

key ... "name"
label_prefix ... "book"
source_name ... "default"
namespace ... "book_1"

1. `active_export.default.book_1.book_name`
2. `activerecord.attributes.book.name`
3. `activemode.attributes.book.name`
4. `book_name`.humanize # => Book name

book:
  - "author.name" # call [instance].author.name
  - "price > 0" # call [instance].price > 0 # => true or false
  - "price.to_f / 2.0" # call [instance].price.to_f / 2.0
  - "sprintf("%#b", price)" # call sprintf("%#b", [instance].price)
