Import/Export Bundle

The ImportExportBundle allows for easy and decoupled data migration to and from various mediums.
It works by relying on the Sylius Resource and Grid systems for resolving and providing data.

Features

• Export: Generate data exports in JSON/CSV formats with grid actions
• Import: Import data from JSON files with validation and error handling
• Process Management: Track import/export processes with status monitoring
• Validation: Configurable validation groups for import data
• Async Processing: Background processing via Symfony Messenger (configurable)

Export

Functionality

The main and bulk grid actions get automatically injected into configured resources' grids.

Supported formats:

• json
• csv

Main export action

It respects currently applied filters when exporting resources.

Bulk export action

In cases when specifying filters is not enough, or you want just a subset of the resource, in comes the bulk action.

Processes

Here you can manage currently running and already processed exports as well as download the exported data.

Import

Functionality

The import feature provides a user-friendly way to import data from JSON files directly through the admin interface.

Supported formats:

• json (with plans for additional formats)

Main import action

Import actions are automatically injected into configured resources' grids, allowing administrators to upload and import data files.

Import Process

1. File Upload: Upload JSON files through the admin interface
2. Validation: Data is validated using configurable validation groups
3. Processing: Import runs via Symfony Messenger (synchronously by default, can be configured for async)
4. Status Tracking: Monitor import progress and view results
5. Error Handling: Failed imports are tracked with detailed error messages

Validation

The import system supports configurable validation groups to ensure data integrity:

• Default validation: Uses entity validation constraints
• Custom validation groups: Configure specific validation rules per resource
• Error reporting: Detailed validation error messages for troubleshooting

Process Management

Import processes are tracked with the following statuses:

• processing: Import is currently running
• success: Import completed successfully
• failed: Import failed with error details

Installation

Beware!

This installation instruction assumes that you're using Symfony Flex. If you don't, take a look at the legacy installation instruction. However, we strongly encourage you to use Symfony Flex, it's much quicker!

1. Require plugin with composer:

   composer require sylius/import-export-bundle

   Remember to allow community recipes with composer config extra.symfony.allow-contrib true or during plugin installation process

2. Apply migrations to your database:

   bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

3. Configure export and import for resources:

   # config/packages/sylius_import_export.yaml
   sylius_import_export:
       export:
           resources:
               sylius.order: ~
               app.brand:
                   serialization_group: 'app:brand:export'
                   sections:
                       - 'Sylius\Bundle\AdminBundle\SectionResolver\AdminSection'
                   provider: 'sylius_import_export.provider.resource_data.orm'
       import:
           resources:
               sylius.order: ~
               app.brand:
                   validation_groups: ['Default', 'import']

   For a more detailed overview check the configuration reference.

File Storage

Export Files

By default, when a resource gets exported, a file is saved on the server. The save directory is specified with the %sylius_import_export.export_files_directory% parameter, that can be overridden if needed.

Import Files

Import files are temporarily stored on the server during processing. The save directory is specified with the %sylius_import_export.import_files_directory% parameter, that can be overridden if needed.

Both file directories can be configured:

# config/packages/sylius_import_export.yaml
sylius_import_export:
    export:
        files_directory: '%kernel.project_dir%/var/export'
    import:
        files_directory: '%kernel.project_dir%/var/import'
        file_max_size: '50M'
        allowed_mime_types: ['application/json']

Note: Large file uploads may require adjusting PHP configuration:

# php.ini
upload_max_filesize = 50M
post_max_size = 50M
