SimpleCsvCreator

SimpleCsvCreator has DSL to build the csv. It's inspired by activeadmin csv

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'simple_csv_creator'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install csv_creator

SimpleCsvCreator has DSL to build the csv it's inspired by activeadmin csv example:

class User
  attr_reader :name, :age, :gender
  def initialize(name, age, gender)
    @name = name
    @age = age
    @gender = gender
  end
end

user1 = User.new('test', 20, 'female')
user2 = User.new('mobile', 13, 'male')
csv_creator = SimpleCsvCreator.schema do
  column(:name) # if without block then it will run the name given(user.name), header name will be titleize of name
  column(:age) { |r| r.age + ' years' } # if with block will run the block
  column('User Gender') { |r| r.gender } # if want to use custom title need to give the block
end
result = SimpleCsvCreator.simple_generate([user1, user2])
csv_parse = CSV.parse(result)
csv_parse:
[
  ['Name', 'Age', 'User Gender'],
  ['test', '20 years', 'female'],
  ['mobile', '13 years', 'male']
]

Sometimes you want to do lazy fetch e.g: find_each method in ActiveRecord. If you use simple_generate you won't be able to use this kind of method because simple_generate need the array with all of its elements. To handle it you can use generate_using method

e.g:

generator = Proc.new do |&block|
  resources.each do |resource|
    block.call(resource)
  end
end
result = SimpleCsvCreator.generate_using(generator)
end
