== DESCRIPTION:
Simple API for importing from csv, tsv and xml.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
* FIXME (list of features or problems)
== SYNOPSIS:
# extend your import modules and define import methods
module SpecialImporter
extend AccessoryImporter
# if true is passed to run, reset will get called first if it exists.
def self.reset
Accessory.find(:all).each {|a| a.destroy }
end
def self.import
csv('Accessory Schema.csv') do |row|
unless row[0].nil? || row[0] == 'SKU'
accessory = Accessory.create!(:sku => row[0],
:image => row[1],
:thumbnail_image => row[2],
:name => row[3],
:supplier_cost => row[4],
:retail_cost => row[5],
:description => row[6])
end
end
end
end
# run your import modules (from a rake task perhaps)
XmlImporter.run
The csv & tsv import methods also take an optional (default false) boolean
parameter that indicates whether or not to ignore the header (first) line.
== REQUIREMENTS:
Hpricot is required if you intend to import xml.
test/spec and mocha are required to run the tests.
== INSTALL:
sudo gem install vigetlabs-simple_importer -s http://gems.github.com
