Importing a catalogue¶
Warning
Handling imports works in Oscar, but the code quality of the importer is low as it is only used to populate the sandbox site, and not meant for general usage. So proceed at your own risk!
Importing a catalogue is pretty straightforward, and can be done in two easy steps:
Reading the catalogue CSV file, line by line, using
csv.reader
.Using the info of each line, start by creating a
Product
object using the standard Django ORM, set the product attributes, save it, and finally set itsProductCategory
,Partner
, andStockRecord
.
Example¶
An example of that is the CatalogueImporter
used to import catalogues for
the sandbox site. The class is available under
oscar.apps.partner.importers
.
Let’s take a closer look at CatalogueImporter
:
class CatalogueImporter(object):
def __init__(self, logger):
self.logger = logger
@atomic
def _import(self, file_path=None):
....
def _import_row(self, row_number, row, stats):
....
The two steps procedure we talked about are obvious in this example, and are
implemented in _import
and _import_row
functions, respectively.
You can find an example of the CSV data that the CatalogueImporter
expects in the repository.
