About

Django Import Export Stomp is a django plugin that uses django-stomp to import/export models to spreadsheet-like files (csv, xlsx, etc.).

Codebase

The stack

This application uses at least Python 3.10 with at least Django 5.1.

Engineering standards

Commit hooks

Currently we're using pre-commit. To configure it simply use the commands below.

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install

This will automatically lint the staged files using our project standard linters.

Getting Started

This section provides a high-level requirement & quick start guide.

Prerequisites

• docker
• docker compose

⚠️

We do not recommend developing the application without docker!

⚠️

Running example application with Docker

1. Clone the repository via ssh, ie. git clone git@github.com:juntossomosmais/django-import-export-stomp.git.

2. Simply running docker compose up --build example is enough to start running django-import-export-stomp on a exmaple with Docker.

Testing the application with Docker

1. If you want to run the tests run: docker compose run integration-tests.

2. To run the sonar analysis locally you can use docker compose up -d sonar-client and then docker compose up -d sonar-cli

Documentation

Basic installation

1. Install package: pip install django-import-export-stomp
2. Add import_export_stomp to your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py
3. Add author.middlewares.AuthorDefaultBackendMiddleware to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in your settings.py
4. Setup django-stomp

Running the consumer

Run python manage.py import_export pubsub to start processing messages from the queues.

Setting up imports

On your settings.py add a IMPORT_EXPORT_MODELS variable:

from import_export_stomp.resources import resource_importer

IMPORT_EXPORT_STOMP_MODELS = {
    "Name of your import": {
        "app_label": "fake_app",
        "model_name": "FakeModel",
        "resource": resource_importer(
            "tests.resources.fake_app.resources.FakeResource"
        ),  # optional
    }
}

By default a dry run of the import is initiated when the import object is created. To instead import the file immediately without a dry-run set the IMPORT_DRY_RUN_FIRST_TIME to False.

IMPORT_DRY_RUN_FIRST_TIME = False

Setting up export

As with imports, a fully configured example project can be found in the example directory.

1. Add a export_resource_classes classmethod to the model you want to export.

   @classmethod
   def export_resource_classes(cls):
       return {
           'winners': ('Winners resource', WinnersResource),
           'winners_all_caps': ('Winners with all caps column resource', WinnersWithAllCapsResource),
       }
   

   This should return a dictionary of tuples. The keys should be unique unchanging strings, the tuples should consist of a resource <https://django-import-export.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#creating-import-export-resource>__ and a human friendly description of that resource.

2. Add the create_export_job_action to the model's ModelAdmin.

   from django.contrib import admin
   from import_export.admin_actions import create_export_job_action
   
   from . import models
   
   @admin.register(models.Winner)
   class WinnerAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
       list_display = (
           'name',
       )
   
       actions = (
           create_export_job_action,
       )
   

3. To customise export queryset you need to add get_export_queryset to the ModelResource.

   class WinnersResource(ModelResource):
       class Meta:
           model = Winner
   
       def get_export_queryset(self):
           """To customise the queryset of the model resource with annotation override"""
           return self.Meta.model.objects.annotate(device_type=Subquery(FCMDevice.objects.filter(
                   user=OuterRef("pk")).values("type")[:1])
   

4. Done!

How to use upload with aws s3 presigned url

1. Have boto3 and django-storages installed in your project: pip install boto3 django-storages

2. Setup django-storages variables - AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME is required.

3. Set IMPORT_EXPORT_STOMP_USE_PRESIGNED_POST to True.

4. Add urls from import_export_stomp.urls to your urls.py

   from import_export_stomp.urls import urlpatterns as import_export_stomp_urlpatterns
   
   urlpatterns = [...]  # Your urls
   urlpatterns += import_export_stomp_urlpatterns
   

5. Done!

Performing an import

You will find an example django application that uses django-import-export-stomp for importing data. Once you have it running, you can perform an import with the following steps.

1. Navigate to the example applications admin page:

   

2. Navigate to the ImportJobs table:

   

3. Create a new import job. There is an example import CSV file in the example/example-data directory. Select that file. Select csv as the file format. We'll be importing to the Winner's model table.

   

4. Select "Save and continue editing" to save the import job and refresh until you see that a "Summary of changes made by this import" file has been created.

   

5. You can view the summary if you want. Your import has NOT BEEN PERFORMED YET!

   

6. Return to the import-jobs table, select the import job we just created, and select the "Perform import" action from the actions drop down.

   

7. In a short time, your imported Winner object should show up in your Winners table.

   

Performing an export

1. Perform the basic setup procedure described in the first section.

2. Open up the object list for your model in django admin, select the objects you wish to export, and select the Export with stomp admin action.

3. Select the file format and resource you want to use to export the data.

4. Save the model

5. You will receive an email when the export is done, click on the link in the email

6. Click on the link near the bottom of the page titled Exported file.
