Goal

Install django-import-export and bulk upload some data. I shouldn't have to upload all of these things if I keep them organized well enough.

Notes

I started today by pushing my Cosmetic changes to the HitHub App to the HitHub GitHub. Then I installed django-import-export via the django-import-export docs.

pip install django-import-export

Then added it to my INSTALLED_APPS list in my hithub/settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'import_export',
)

And finally needed to collect Static Files via

python manage.py collectstatic

Then I wanted to add the functionality to add Django Bulk Uploads to the Django Admin view so I followed the Admin Integration Documentation . When I asked ChatGPT about how to integrate it, I learned that I needed to create a django-import-export Resource for Django Models that I want to upload. For this I needed to create a resources.py file to hold resources for each of my different models.

Currently this might be difficult to implement for my Django ImageField, so I may just start out by doing it for my SpiritFighter data. I should also definitely update my SpiritFighter data.

Results

• Installed django-import-export
• Learned about the django-import-export Resource

Next Time

• Actually implement the django-import-export Resource.
