= to_csv

This plugin provides support for responding to the CSV format, as well as exporting a collection of ActiveRecord objects to CSV.

= Installation

./script/plugin install -x http://svn.integralserver.com/plugins/to_csv

= Usage

You can simply take a collection of ActiveRecord objects and apply the to_csv method to them:

@users = User.find(:all) @users.to_csv

For a more RESTful way of exporting a CSV, do something like this in your controller:

respond_to do |wants| wants.csv do render :text => @users.to_csv response.headers[‘Content-Type’] = ‘text/csv; charset=iso-8859-1; header=present’ response.headers[‘Content-Disposition’] = “attachment; filename=users_#{Time.now.strftime(“%m-%d-%Y”)}.csv” end end
