It's the SilverStripe bulk loader, but ever so slightly better!

This module expands the default SS version and adds error logging per import row and attempts to solve issues where Excel sometimes adds blank columns to the end of a CSV (which then fails to import)

Install
-------

[](#install)

Instalation via composer:

```
# composer require i-lateral/silverstripe-slightly-better-bulkloader

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

By default this module should automatically replace `BulkLoader_Result` with a custom version that track errors.

However to make the most of this, you need to also implement your own version of `CSVBulkLoader` for example:

### ModelAdmin

[](#modeladmin)

Adding the Custom CSV uploader via ModelAdmin

```
namespace App\Admin;

use SilverStripe\Admin\ModelAdmin;
use ilateral\SilverStripe\SlightlyBetterBulkLoader\CsvBulkLoader;

class MyModelAdmin extends ModelAdmin
{
    private static $managed_models = [
        MyDataObject::class
    ];

    private static $model_importers = [
        MyDataObject::class => CsvBulkLoader::class
    ];
}
```

### Manualy Called

[](#manualy-called)

An example of adding a custom CSV import after a form has been submitted.

```
use SilverStripe\Forms\Form;
use ilateral\SilverStripe\SlightlyBetterBulkLoader\CsvBulkLoader;

class MyImportForm extends Form
{
    public function import($data, $form)
    {
        $loader = CsvBulkLoader::create();
        $results = $loader->load($_FILES['_CsvFile']['tmp_name']);

        $form->sessionMessage(
            $results->getMessagesString(""),
            $results->getMessageType(),
            ValidationResult::CAST_HTML
        );

        return $this->redirectBack();
    }
}
```
