ActAsImportable

Helps you easily import records from a CSV file or an array of hashes.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'act_as_importable'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install act_as_importable

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  act_as_importable
end

User.import_csv_file('/path/to/file.csv')
# or
User.import_csv_text(csv_text)
# or
User.import_data(array_of_hashes)
# or
User.import_record(hash)

The importer will automatically map the column headers to the attributes of the model.

###Example:

first_name,last_name,email
John,Smith,j.smith@gmail.com

This will create a new User called John Smith with the email address j.smith@gmail.com.

You can specify a unique field that will be used to find existing records.

###Example:

User.import_csv_file('/path/to/file.csv', :uid => :email)

This will find an existing record with a matching email address and update their name. If no record exists it will create a new one.

• uid (default: 'uid')
• except (default: nil)
• only (default: nil)
• default_values (default: nil)
• delete_missing_records (default: false)
• existing_record_scope (default: Model.all)
