Having trouble seeding CSV file into Rails App
Best success I've seen with this is by doing a rake task.
require 'csv'namespace :csv do desc "Import CSV Data" task :import_stuff => :environment do csv_file_path = 'db/data.csv' CSV.foreach(csv_file_path) do |row| Model.create!({ :column1 => row[0], :column2 => row[1], :column3 => row[2], }) puts "Row added!" end endendPut this in your lib/tasks folder with a .rake extension and to run it type: "rake csv:import_stuff"
Also, you might be reaching some limitations with SQL lite... I would suggest checking out MongoDB. It seems like it would be fitting for your current situation. Good luck!
Looks like I figured it out, sorry about that. I would appreciate some comments on this code, if it needs to be improved.
Anyway, I think I figured it out using fasterCSV (or just CSV). This seems to have worked:
require 'csv'Model.delete_allCSV.foreach("#{Rails.root}/lib/data/model.csv") do |row| Model.create!(:attr_1 => row[0], :attr_2 => row[1], :attr_3 => row[2], etc)end
