ActiveAdminCSVImport

• Add CSV import with one line of code
• Parses the file client-side and imports line-by-line to avoid Heroku timeouts
• Validates the CSV has the correct column names before importing.

Inspired by https://github.com/krhorst/active_admin_importable and makes use of Recline.js. This is a relatively heavy solution with a lot of JS dependencies, but should be easier for large imports on Heroku than first uploading to a file server.

Compatibility

As of v2.0.0 Active Admin master with Rails 4.1 is supported. For older versions of Active Admin use v1 of active_admin_csv_import.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'active_admin_csv_import'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Add 'csv_importable' into your active admin resource:

ActiveAdmin.register Thing do
  csv_importable :columns => [:code, :name, :state_name],
                              :import_unique_key => :code
end

An import button should appear on the resource's index page. All columns are expected other than id, updated_at and created_at.

Use other delimiter than semicolon

In config/initializers/active_admin.rb, search csv_options and set the csv separator as it's showed in the file.

Wishlist / TODOS

1. Add Appraisal to test against multiple versions of Rails

Specs

bundle exec rspec spec

The test suite is limited, but it's a start.
