List to CSV or Excel with ActiveScaffold and Rails 6

[Dennis Bulgatz]

Hello.. Would like to export the list view to CSV or Excel.

Tried https://github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold_export

When I start the rails server

/Users/dbulgatz/.rbenv/versions/2.5.5/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/active_scaffold_export-3.3.2/lib/active_scaffold_export/config/core.rb:18:in `block in <top (required)>': uninitialized constant ActionDispatch::Routing::ACTIVE_SCAFFOLD_CORE_ROUTING (NameError)

Routing issue?  What should a route look for a controller using active_scaffold_export?

Thanks!

That gem is not updated to latest active scaffold version, try with this fork:

https://github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold_export

I think it works with newest activescaffold, but nobody confirmed yet. Also i'm waiting to get permission to release new version in rubygems.

https://github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold/issues/635

Best regards

Thanks Sergio!

Changed gem to use the master branch, and no more errors when starting the server, but no export option appears in the view with config.actions.add :export.  I can use config.action_links.add :index, label: 'Export' but not sure what params to pass for it to work.  Do I need to add a method to the controller? 

active_scaffold do |config|
    #config.action_links.add :index, label: 'Export'
    config.actions.add :export
    config.export.default_file_format = 'csv' # or 'xlsx'

Hi

I was out and couldn't test it before.

I have checked with both rails 5.2 and rails 6.0 and I get export link, next to seach, just with config.actions.add :export line.

What rails version do you use? And active_scaffold version? You may try master branch of active_scaffold, although I would expect master of export plugin would work with ActiveScaffold 3.5.x

The issue was I forgot to add export to the actions config line.  Doh!  Thanks again.

FWIW, I did try master AS Branch, but of course it did not help.  Commenting out other controller config options was the key to finding the problem.

    config.export.default_file_format = 'csv' # or 'xlsx' 

    config.list.columns = [:id, :tdn_number, :rev, :is_latest, :title, :clin, :discipline, :sub_tdns, :rev_siblings ]

    config.list.sorting = [{ :tdn_number => :asc}, {:rev => :asc}]

    config.actions = [:nested, :create, :list, :show, :field_search, :delete, :export]
