ExportData

This gem exports model data into different formats, such as CSV. To achieve so, it uses an export model that handles how the data will be shown

Installation

gem 'export_data'

Then, run bundle install to install the gem.

Usage

To use the DataExport::Exporter class, follow these steps

Assuming you have 50 User records in your database and your User model represents these records, you can follow these steps:

1) Open your Rails console:

  rails console

2) Retrieve the user records from your database:

  users = User.all

• This will fetch all the user records from your User model and store them in the users variable.

3) Specify the file path where the CSV file will be saved:

  file_path = 'users.csv'

4) Call the DataExport::Exporter.export_to_csv method to export the user records to the CSV file:

  DataExport::Exporter.export_to_csv(users, file_path)

• This line exports the user records in the users variable to the specified CSV file.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
