Functionality to download your user data

[julianguyen]

Description

We want to give users the option of being able to download their account data. Let's include a button on the Account page (when a user is signed in) that allows the user to download their data.

A good starting point is downloading the data in a CSV file. We'll want to give them the ability to download data regarding:

• Their Moments, Categories, Moods, Medications, and Strategies (and any comments in them)
• Information on groups (and corresponding meetings and comments) that are a leader of
• Other than comments from allies in their posts, a user should not have access to another user's data

Please assign yourself (via the Assignees dropdown), if you do want to work on this issue. Can't find yourself? You need to join our organization.

Hey a little new to Open source, but I have experience with rails
I would gladly help out with this! 😄

[james947]

Hey @Acollie still working on this? I'd love to give it a try cc: @julianguyen

[Acollie]

I have mostly done with the task. I just got a little busy, to fully finish the task.
Left todo

• there is currently a bug with the export I wrote, which I didn't have time to try and fix but it should be fairly simple to fix.
• Write a Test for the data export
  I have a branch which has all the code I wrote called 'data_export'

[james947]

This is well noted @Acollie. Good work 👍

[julianguyen]

How's this going @Acollie? :)

[Acollie]

Hey @julianguyen , I really appreciate you checking up on me :)
I reached a bug which found it hard to fix. I also found it hard to write tests, for the feature.

Would it be possible if you or someone could try and give me a hand, since I am keen to finish this feature.

[julianguyen]

No worries and thanks for the update @Acollie! I can help take a look, do you have an existing branch? :)

[Acollie]

I do the, 'data_export' should have my version but its quite out of date with the main branch.
@julianguyen
Also I use Slack is that is easier :)

[julianguyen]

I have some bandwidth to help finish this, starting sometime this week.

[Acollie]

@julianguyen I would like to try to finish as well. DM me on Slack and we can try and finish this!

[akp2603]

Hi! I would be really interested to work on this one.
Is this still open?
(Will be needing a little guidance, this is going to be my first open source contribution)

Hey @akp2603, I was a bit lost on this one for a while, and I've been meaning to work on this forever, but yea you can pick this up if you want! I'll unassign myself. Also, @Acollie had created a branch for his work. Check it out here.

[akp2603]

hi @julianguyen! Can you assign me the issue and can we discuss this over slack once?

@akp2603 Just did! FYI, for future reference, you can assign yourself to issues :)

So @Acollie started work on this but never got a chance to finish https://github.com/ifmeorg/ifme/tree/data_export

So I recommend working off of the progress so far!

[akp2603]

@julianguyen Not sure, if I can add myself. I am not a member of the organisation. So it's not showing me any option to assign myself. Maybe I am missing something.
Also, needed a little more clarity regarding the feature. Can we connect on slack(Just sent a mail to join.ifme)?

[julianguyen]

Looks like you are and I assigned you to the issue!

Yeah definitely reach out to me on Slack :D

[julianguyen]

Thanks to @akp2603 we have an API for downloading user data to CSV files. This is the PR for those changes.

The next step is building a button for this on the /account page.

@Schen1822 looks like this can be closed because PR #1900 is merged, yes?
