I have a script that i run from command to populate a django model from csv.. the command i use is:
python artifact_db_loader.py -tzusb "d:\Test_Data\david nides\david-nides-usb.csv" -e 44
I want to change this so that it can be run on a django view on page request. Anyone with an insight please? Regards, Josh
From my experience you can do anything you would do on a regular python script inside a Django view. For example :
#! python3
# -*-coding:utf-8 -*
from django.shortcuts import HttpResponse
import os
def myView(request):
f = open('file.cvs', 'w')
f.write('Whatever you want')
f.close()
return HttpResponse('Done.')
You can put conditions and loops, so you should be able to put your entire script as a view like that.
As you haven't provided any details about the script, I'm assuming there is a function inside that takes the filename and a model name as parameters and does the work when invoked from the terminal. You can simply move that function to a controller and call it with both the parameters on request.
Django has a whole section in their documentation explaining how to do it.
artifact_db_loader.pyadd this file to project root dir . make new function that accepts yourarguments. call it from django view .
