django-admin-csvexport 1.4

Django-admin-action to export items as csv-formatted data.

Description

Django-admin-csvexport is a django-admin-action, that allows you to export the items of your django-admin changelist as csv-formatted data.

Features

• selectable model-fields

• related models included

• customizable csv-format

• view or download csv-data

Installation

Install from pypi.org:

pip install django-admin-csvexport

Add csvexport to your installed apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'csvexport',
    ...
]

Add csvexport to the actions of your modeladmin:

from csvexport.actions import csvexport

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    ...
    actions = [csvexport]

Configuration

The following settings determine the depth of the model references and the value to display for empty fields:

CSV_EXPORT_REFERENCE_DEPTH = 3
CSV_EXPORT_EMPTY_VALUE = ''

Those settings define the csv-format to be used. The default values meet the unix standard csv-format:

CSV_EXPORT_DELIMITER = ','
CSV_EXPORT_ESCAPECHAR = ''
CSV_EXPORT_QUOTECHAR = '"'
CSV_EXPORT_DOUBLEQUOTE = True
CSV_EXPORT_LINETERMINATOR = r'\n'

(Use a raw-string for newline escape sequences.)

Per default the csv-format can be adjusted by a formular when generating the csv-file. Set the following setting to False to not render such form:

CSV_EXPORT_FORMAT_FORM = True

Usage

Just use it as any django-admin-action: Select your items, choose csvexport from the admin-action-bar and go. You will be led to a formular that allows you to render your items as csv-data.
