Extend the import feature to accept multiple filetypes and formats #20

Open monovertex opened 9 years ago

monovertex commented 9 years ago

The import tool should allow users to select their own format (which column is what) and also be able to read from multiple spreadsheet-like file types.

http://handsontable.com/ is a decent library for letting people copy/paste or manage directly. It might be a good option. I believe it could also be used for #16 (export).

That sounds good. Do you have experience with it?

I am interested if it handles big files well, as some of our users might have thousands of rows in their files.

I have used it in the past and I don't remember exactly how big the data was that we were importing but I do remember it was quite large. The default max limits are 1000 columns by 1000 rows. Maybe I can do some testing this weekend to see if I can find an upper limit.

The columns are definitrly not an issue, I don't think we will ever go beyond 10.

But rows, I think it would be better if we can go beyond 1000.
