Export to CSV

[yagobski]

Hi I want to use your code to add Export to CSV of a collection and i don't know how to use your code. Can you please give me an exemple. Thanks

Are you trying to do this via an endpoint or you want to extend the codebase of Directus?

i. Entry Point

https://github.com/philleepflorence/directus-8-extensions/blob/master/endpoints/csv/endpoints.php

ii. Controllers

https://github.com/philleepflorence/directus-8-extensions/tree/master/endpoints/csv/controllers

iii. Helper

https://github.com/philleepflorence/directus-8-extensions/blob/master/helpers/csv.php

All the helper files used within all methods are included in the helper directory.

The previous comment is for an endpoint...

[yagobski]

Do you have an exemple of the request with some fake parameters? This is exactly what i need.

[philleepflorence]

Using PostMan these are some pre-defined parameters.

For Export:

access_token:{{access_token}}
debug:{{debug}}
collection:{{collection}}
params[fields]:*.*
params[status]:published
params[limit]:-1
path:csv/collections/{{collection}}.csv
options[humanize]:true

For Import:

access_token:{{access_token}}
debug:{{debug}}
collection:{{collection}}

you will also need a csv file sent via post (form-data).

There should be comments on the required parameters in the helper methods.

Thanks a lot for your help. This will be useful for other users too. Export/Import is the missed feature for directus.

AccessToken is required if iam using cookies?

[yagobski]

Have you plan to add a button on the vuejs interface like that people can click on Export and it will export the data using your service?

[philleepflorence]

There is a potential addition to the Core Directus after there is a lift on features freeze.

Hi, i am not a developer and i don't have experience with PHP and i really want to use this, any video tutorial, please?

[philleepflorence]

@MoeVai Unfortunately, there is no Video Tutorial, but I do have a blog that tries to explain some of it... But, you will need to dabble in PHP to implement, there is no Plug and Play type installation just yet.
