CSV Import Ruby

CSV Import Ruby is a gem that allows users to add an importer function into ActiveRecord models with a simple configuration.

To install CSV Import Ruby:

gem install csv_import_ruby

In your ActiveRecord model:

class Student < ActiveRecord::Base
  create_importer :name, :grade, { remove_whitespace: true }
end

Arguments are symbols that represent CSV column names, with the exception of the last argument which is a hash of options. Currently, the only option is remove_whitespace, which defaults to false.

Symbols will be ignored unless they correspond to ActiveRecord attribute names.

create_importer adds two methods to Ruby objects: import! and import_file!.

Student.import!("Joe,85\nAnnie,90\nDaniel,80")
Student.import_file!("./roster.csv")
