Example 1: Elixir convert MySQL record to Excel file
To convert a MySQL database record to an Excel file in an Elixir REST API, you can use a library like Ecto to query the database and retrieve the record, and then use a library like ElixirExcel to generate the Excel file.
Here’s an example of how you might do this:
Add the necessary dependencies to your Elixir project:
defp deps do [ {:ecto, "~> 3.4"}, {:elixir_excel, "~> 1.3"} ] end
In your controller, use Ecto to query the database and retrieve the record:
import Ecto def export_to_excel(conn, params) do # Connect to the database {:ok, repo} = Ecto.Repo.start_link(:my_app) # Retrieve the record from the database record = Repo.get(MyApp.Object, params["id"]) # Generate the Excel file from the record using ElixirExcel excel = ElixirExcel.generate(record) # Send the Excel file to the client send_file(conn, excel, type: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet") end
In your view, you can use the ElixirExcel library to generate an Excel file from the record and send it to the client:
import ElixirExcel def export_to_excel(record) do # Generate the Excel file from the record using ElixirExcel excel = ElixirExcel.generate(record) # Send the Excel file to the client send_file(conn, excel, type: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet") end
That’s a basic example of how you can convert a MySQL database record to an Excel file in an Elixir REST API. You can customize the Excel layout and formatting using the options provided by the ElixirExcel library.
Example 2: Exlix Restapi convert PostgreSQL to Excel file
To convert a PostgreSQL database record to an Excel file in an Elixir REST API, you can use a library like Ecto to query the database and retrieve the record, and then use a library like ElixirExcel to generate the Excel file.
Here’s an example of how you might do this:
Add the necessary dependencies to your Elixir project:
defp deps do [ {:ecto, "~> 3.4"}, {:elixir_excel, "~> 1.3"} ] end
In your controller, use Ecto to query the database and retrieve the record:
import Ecto def export_to_excel(conn, params) do # Connect to the database {:ok, repo} = Ecto.Repo.start_link(:my_app) # Retrieve the record from the database record = Repo.get(MyApp.Object, params["id"]) # Generate the Excel file from the record using ElixirExcel excel = ElixirExcel.generate(record) # Send the Excel file to the client send_file(conn, excel, type: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet") end
In your view, you can use the ElixirExcel library to generate an Excel file from the record and send it to the client:
import ElixirExcel def export_to_excel(record) do # Generate the Excel file from the record using ElixirExcel excel = ElixirExcel.generate(record) # Send the Excel file to the client send_file(conn, excel, type: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet") end
Example 3: Elixir restapi convert Mongodb database document to file excel
o convert a MongoDB database document to an Excel file in an Elixir REST API, you can use a library like MongoDB Elixir to query the database and retrieve the document, and then use a library like ElixirExcel to generate the Excel file.
Here’s an example of how you might do this:
Add the necessary dependencies to your Elixir project:
defp deps do [ {:mongodb_elixir, "~> 0.4"}, {:elixir_excel, "~> 1.3"} ] end
In your controller, use MongoDB Elixir to query the database and retrieve the document:
import MongoDB def export_to_excel(conn, params) do # Connect to the database {:ok, client} = MongoDB.Client.start_link(["mongodb://localhost:27017"]) # Retrieve the document from the database document = MongoDB.Collection.find_one(client, "my_app", "objects", {"_id" => params["id"]}) # Generate the Excel file from the document using ElixirExcel excel = ElixirExcel.generate(document) # Send the Excel file to the client send_file(conn, excel, type: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet") end
In your view, you can use the ElixirExcel library to generate an Excel file from the document and send it to the client:
import ElixirExcel def export_to_excel(document) do # Generate the Excel file from the document using ElixirExcel excel = ElixirExcel.generate(document) # Send the Excel file to the client send_file(conn, excel, type: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet") end
