Installation

The usual way:

   uv add django-grist-loader
   

2. Configure

   Django's settings:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...,
       "grist_loader",
       ...,
   )
   
   GRIST_PYGRISTER_CONFIG = {
       "GRIST_API_KEY": os.environ.get("GRIST_API_KEY", ""),
       "GRIST_SELF_MANAGED": "Y",
       "GRIST_SELF_MANAGED_HOME": f"{os.environ.get('GRIST_PROTOCOL', 'https://')}{os.environ.get('GRIST_HOST', '')}",
       "GRIST_SELF_MANAGED_SINGLE_ORG": "N",
       "GRIST_SERVER_PROTOCOL": os.environ.get("GRIST_PROTOCOL", "https://"),
       "GRIST_API_SERVER": os.environ.get("GRIST_HOST", ""),
       "GRIST_API_ROOT": os.environ.get("GRIST_API_ROOT", "api"),
       "GRIST_TEAM_SITE": os.environ.get("GRIST_API_DOCS", "docs"),
       "GRIST_WORKSPACE_ID": os.environ.get("GRIST_WORKSPACE_ID", ""),
       "GRIST_DOC_ID": os.environ.get("GRIST_DOC_ID", ""),

       "GRIST_SAFEMODE": "N",
   } 
   

3. Define the required envvars that make sense to your project

Usage

1. Define a Django model that subclasses GristModel:

   from django.db import models
   from grist_loader.models import GristModel
   
   
   class MyModel(GristModel):
      my_char_field = models.CharField(max_length=100)
      my_int_field = models.IntegerField()
      my_date_field = models.DateField()
   

2. Within a grist.py module, define a loader class that subclasses GristLoader:

   from grist_loader.loader import GristLoader, register_grist_loader
   
   from .models import MyModel
   
   
   @register_grist_loader
   class MyLoader(GristLoader):
      model = MyModel
      table = "MyGristTableName"
      required_cols = ("MyChar",)
      fields = {
        "MyChar": MyModel.my_char_field,
        "MyInt": MyModel.my_int_field,
        "MyDate": MyModel.my_date_field,
      }
   

3. Load your data

   python manage.py grist_load_all
   

4. Profit!
