see-s-vee

Making it easy to dump data from a Rails app to a CSV on S3.

Dependencies

see-s-vee requires that you're using Resque and leverages it to build and upload the csv file to S3 in the background.

In your Gemfile:

Run the migration installer

rake see_s_vee:install:migrations

Run the migrations:

rake db:migrate

Add the file config/s3.yml with your s3 creds:

development:
	access_key_id: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
	secret_access_key: YOUR_SECRET
	bucket: YOUR_BUCKET

Make sure your resque process is working on the see_s_vee_generator, by setting the QUEUE environment variable in your env, Procfile, or command:

QUEUE=default,some_other_queue,see_s_vee_generator bundle exec rake resque:work

Let's assume you have a User model and you want to get a CSV of the properties email, created_at and first_name:

SeeSVee::FunCsv.create(:name => "user_props", :code => "User.all.map{|u| [u.email, u.created_at, u.first_name]}")

Go get your file at:

YOUR_BUCKET_NAME/csvs/user_props.csv

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
Fork the project.
Start a feature/bugfix branch.
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
