Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

tl;dr

  • Install by executing npm i directus-extension-xlsx-to-json
  • or yarn add directus-extension-xlsx-to-json.

Motivation

Directus is a modern, open source data platform. With a headless API that manages custom SQL database architectures. It allows users to import/export collections in bulk via CSV files. But many of our clients still use Excel files for bulk uploads 🥹. I ran into the difficult task of having to transfer huge excel files (50k+ records at a time 😅) to the SQL database. And all that effort and dedication led me to create this practical and efficient solution. I hope you enjoy it 😉.

Getting started

  1. Install the package npm i directus-extension-xlsx-to-json.

  2. Create a collection where to save the excel.

  3. Create the collection where you are going to save the data of that excel.

  4. Create a flow to obtain the id of the uploaded Excel file and be able to pass it to the collection that will save the data.

Necessary Collections

Create a collection to store the files my-xlsx-collection

  • Create a file type field

Create a collection to store the data my-bulk-upload-collection

  • The fields in this collection have to match the excel columns

Necessary Flow

  • Create the flow that you think is appropriate to trigger

Keep in mind that you need the id of this file that you just uploaded to your assets

  • Then create a Webhook / Request URL
  • Method GET
  • URL {{$accountability.origin}}/items/{{$trigger.body.collection}}/{{$trigger.body.keys[0]}}

After that flow succeed...

  • Create another one Webhook / Request URL
  • Method POST
  • URL{{$accountability.origin}}/sheetToJson/{{$last.data.data.excel}}
  • Request body :{ "collection": "my-bulk-upload-collection" }

Limitations

  • The fields in my-bulk-upload-collection have to match the excel columns. Otherwise it does not load the data and results in a 404 error
  • The id field has to be auto-incemented integer. Because this package does not handle uuid generators to be more optimal and light

Considerations

  • You can treat these bulk upload collections as staging collections and then pass the data into a collection that handles the relationships between them and the necessary business logic. Is up to you
