Handle csv files with Django (django-import-export)

When I created an app to manage restaurant expenses Since it was necessary to capture past data at once, I found a useful plug-in. I think it can be used when managing a large amount of data such as stock price data in the future.

Development environment

• Mac os 10.15.3
• python 3.7
• django 2.2.8

Sample Model

models.py

from django.db import models
from datetime import datetime


class Category(models.Model):
    category_name = models.CharField(max_length=255,unique=True)


class Shop(models.Model):
    shop_name = models.CharField(max_length=255,unique=True)
    flag = models.IntegerField(verbose_name="flag")
    category = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete = models.PROTECT, verbose_name="category")


class Cost(models.Model):
    date = models.DateField(verbose_name="date",default=datetime.now)
    shop = models.ForeignKey(Shop, on_delete = models.PROTECT, verbose_name="Store name")
    price = models.IntegerField(verbose_name="Amount of money", help_text="Half-width input")
    memo = models.CharField(verbose_name="Remarks", max_length=500, blank=True)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='Registered Date', auto_now_add=True)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='Update date and time', auto_now=True)

In order to manage the expenses of restaurants, there are three models such as category, supplier, amount, etc. The rest is as in models.py.

Install django-import-export

$ pipenv install django-import-export

The above is when using pipenv. If you install with pip, you can do it with $ pip install django-import-export.

Added ʻimport_export` to settings.py

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    #···abridgement
    'import_export', #Add here
]

Added ʻimport_export` to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py under the project

Add settings to admin.py

admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from import_export import resources
from import_export.admin import ImportExportModelAdmin
from .models import Category, Shop, Cost

#Create a class that inherits ModelResource to integrate with the Category model
class CategoryResource(resources.ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        model = Category

#Create a class that inherits ModelResource to integrate with the Shop model
class ShopResource(resources.ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        model = Shop

#Create a class that inherits ModelResource to integrate with the Cost model
class CostResource(resources.ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        model = Cost


@admin.register(Category)
#Create an admin class that inherits ImportExportModelAdmin
class CategoryAdmin(ImportExportModelAdmin):
    ordering = ['id']
    list_display=('id', 'category_name')

    # resource_Set a class that inherits ModelResource in class
    resource_class = CategoryResource


@admin.register(Shop)
#Create an admin class that inherits ImportExportModelAdmin
class ShopAdmin(ImportExportModelAdmin):
    ordering = ['id']
    list_display=('id', 'shop_name', 'flag', 'category')

    # resource_Set a class that inherits ModelResource in class
    resource_class = ShopResource


@admin.register(Cost)
#Create an admin class that inherits ImportExportModelAdmin
class CostAdmin(ImportExportModelAdmin):
    ordering = ['id']
    list_display=('id', 'date', 'shop', 'price', 'memo')

    # resource_Set a class that inherits ModelResource in class
    resource_class = CostResource

A class that inherits ModelResource and ʻCreate an admin classthat inherits ImportExportModelAdmin and Just write a class that inheritsModelResource in resource_class`. To make the defined resource class available on the management screen It may be easier to understand if you think that it is linked with admin.py.

Access any URL / admin

By the way, in addition to csv, it also supports xls, xlsx, tsv, json, and yaml. Surprisingly convenient. However, I feel that the processing speed is a little slow when there is a lot of data. .. ..
