Feature request: console/scripted export

[mindsolve]

System Information

• PartKeepr Version: Git commit 033a21c
• Reproducible on the demo system: Yes

Situation

I would like to publish a list of my parts on my website, but without manual interaction and without giving strangers access to my PartKeepr instance.

As I understood the situation, currently export only works by logging in and manually exporting.

Idea

Maybe add a php command-line-script that allows exporting directly to file/stdout. (So that it is script-usable)

Thanks, MindSolve

Why not simply access the SQL database directly - it is fairly standard to do this with PHP and SQL queries - the web server and the SQL database don't even need to be on the same machine.

To be honest: This idea did not even come to my mind, thank you very much for this idea! I did not know that the database format was that easy to parse 👍 👍

Optional question: Do you think somebody else would like some kind of simple command-line-export-tool? Should I publish it after writing? If yes, just simple, plain PHP?

If you have that need it will surely be usefull to someone else. Php is good you can automate it with a cron if you need it

@mindsolve Did you succeed in writing you little helper script? If you are willing to share, we can add it to the wiki. Otherwise, I will close this issue for now. Feel free to answer nevertheless.

Hey @christianlupus , while I did indeed begin to write such a script some time ago, I did not finish it, and the code quality (of the bits I wrote) are way below "hackish".

I do indeed plan on writing a new script for that purpose, but that may take a while. I will be happy to then add it to the wiki. As such, I am closing this issue now.
