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 = ''

The following 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'
CSV_EXPORT_QUOTING = 'QUOTE_ALL'

For the newline escape sequence use a raw-string.

For CSV_EXPORT_QUOTING use the name of one of these csv module constants:

• QUOTE_ALL

• QUOTE_MINIMAL

• QUOTE_NONNUMERIC

• QUOTE_NONE

The csv-format can also be adjusted by the formular rendered by the csvexport admin-action. If there is no need to adjust the csv-format on each export use:

CSV_EXPORT_FORMAT_FORM = False

The formular can also be extended by a checkbox which allows filter the resulting csv rows to be unique. Therefor use:

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 view or download your items as csv-data.
