Installation

Use either easy_install:

easy_install data-importer

or pip:

pip install data-importer

Settings

Customize data_importer decoders

DATA_IMPORTER_EXCEL_DECODER Default value is cp1252

DATA_IMPORTER_DECODER Default value is UTF-8

Basic example

Consider the following:

>>> from data_importer.importers import CSVImporter
>>> class MyCSVImporterModel(CSVImporter):
...     fields = ['name', 'age', 'length']
...     class Meta:
...         delimiter = ";"

You declare a MyCSVImporterModel which will match to a CSV file like this:

Anthony;27;1.75

To import the file or any iterable object, just do:

>>> my_csv_list = MyCSVImporterModel(source="my_csv_file_name.csv")
>>> row, first_line = my_csv_list.cleaned_data[0]
>>> first_line['age']
27

Without an explicit declaration, data and columns are matched in the same order:

::

Anthony –> Column 0 –> Field 0 –> name 27 –> Column 1 –> Field 1 –> age 1.75 –> Column 2 –> Field 2 –> length

Django Model

If you now want to interact with a django model, you just have to add a Meta.model option to the class meta.

>>> from django.db import models
>>> class MyModel(models.Model):
...     name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
...     age = models.CharField(max_length=150)
...     length = models.CharField(max_length=150)

>>> from data_importer.importers import CSVImporter
>>> from data_importer.model import MyModel
>>> class MyCSVImporterModel(CSVImporter):
...     class Meta:
...         delimiter = ";"
...         model = MyModel

That will automatically match to the following django model.

The django model should be imported in the model

delimiter define the delimiter of the csv file. If you do not set one, the sniffer will try yo find one itself.

ignore_first_line Skip the first line if True.

model If defined, the importer will create an instance of this model.

raise_errors If set to True, an error in a imported line will stop the loading.

exclude Exclude fields from list fields to import

transaction Use transaction to save objects

Django XML

If you now want to interact with a django model, you just have to add a Meta.model option to the class meta.

XML file example:

<encspot>
    <file>
        <Name>Rocky Balboa</Name>
        <Age>40</Age>
        <Height>1.77</Height>
    </file>
    <file>
        <Name>Chuck Norris</Name>
        <Age>73</Age>
        <Height>1.78</Height>
    </file>
</encspot>

>>> from django.db import models
>>> class MyModel(models.Model):
...     name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
...     age = models.CharField(max_length=150)
...     height = models.CharField(max_length=150)

>>> from data_importer.importers import XMLImporter
>>> from data_importer.model import MyModel
>>> class MyCSVImporterModel(XMLImporter):
...     root = 'file'
...     class Meta:
...         model = MyModel

That will automatically match to the following django model.

The django model should be imported in the model

model If defined, the importer will create an instance of this model.

raise_errors If set to True, an error in a imported line will stop the loading.

exclude Exclude fields from list fields to import

transaction Use transaction to save objects

Django XLS/XLSX

My XLS/XLSX file can be imported too

This is my model

>>> from django.db import models
>>> class MyModel(models.Model):
...     header1 = models.CharField(max_length=150)
...     header2 = models.CharField(max_length=150)
...     header3 = models.CharField(max_length=150)
...     header4 = models.CharField(max_length=150)

This is my class

>>> from data_importer import XLSImporter
>>> from data_importer.model import MyModel
>>> class MyXLSImporterModel(XLSImporter):
...     class Meta:
...         model = MyModel

If you are using XLSX you will need use XLSXImporter to made same importer

>>> from data_importer import XLSXImporter
>>> from data_importer.model import MyModel
>>> class MyXLSXImporterModel(XLSXImporter):
...     class Meta:
...         model = MyModel

**ignore\_first\_line**\  Skip the first line if True.

**model** If defined, the importer will create an instance of this
model.

**raise\_errors**\  If set to True, an error in a imported line will
stop the loading.

**exclude**\  Exclude fields from list fields to import

**transaction** Use transaction to save objects

Descriptor

Using file descriptor to define fields for large models.

import_test.json

{
  'app_name': 'mytest.Contact',
    {
    // field name / name on import file or key index
    'name': 'My Name',
    'year': 'My Year',
    'last': 3
    }
}

model.py

class Contact(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    year = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    laster = models.CharField(max_length=5)
    phone = models.CharField(max_length=5)
    address = models.CharField(max_length=5)
    state = models.CharField(max_length=5)

importer.py

class MyImpoter(BaseImpoter):
    class Meta:
        config_file = 'import_test.json'
        model = Contact
        delimiter = ','
        ignore_first_line = True

content_file.csv

name,year,last
Test,12,1
Test2,13,2
Test3,14,3

Default DataImporterForm

DataImporterForm is one django.views.generic.edit.FormView to save file in FileUpload and parse content on success.

Example

class DataImporterCreateView(DataImporterForm):
    extra_context = {'title': 'Create Form Data Importer',
                     'template_file': 'myfile.csv'
                    }
    importer = MyCSVImporterModel
