Exporting items from a model to CSV Django / Python

Question

I\'m fairly new to django and Python and want to be able to export a list of items in my model i.e products. I\'m looking at the documentation here - https://docs.djangoproject.

Answer 1

You can also make a template to assist in formatting!

The template is a common Django template

from django.template import loader
def export_to_csv(request):
    response = HttpResponse(mimetype='text/csv')
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="products-list.csv"'
    template = loader.get_template('templates/products_template.csb')
    response.write(template.render(Context({'products': Products.objects.all()})))
    return response
