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.

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
end

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

Wishlist / TODOS

1. Specify which columns to expect in the CSV.
2. Specify a unique column which can be used to update a record rather than attempt to create a duplicate.
