CSVKit

CSVKit is a middleware component aimed to allow tables found in a rails page to be effortlessly converted into a csv that can be read in excel (tsv format).

By adding and configuring the middleware you can visit .csv format pages with tables and instantly get the .csv versions of them without having to build a processor or formatter.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'csvkit'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install csvkit

Usage

Include the following in your application.rb file

require 'csvkit'
config.middleware.use CSVKit::Middleware, {}#, :only => [%r[^/reports], %r[^/budgeting]]

Options and Conditions

There are two hashes passed in after config.middleware.use CSVKit::Middleware, the options hash and the conditions hash.

Options

This is not currently used.

Conditions

The conditions hash supports the following attributes:

  • :only which is an array of regular expressions to support .csv conversion on
  • :except which is an array of regular expressions to exclude .csv conversion on
