  • Brief description:
    • Have you ever wanted to present data within your Drupal website that comes from a CSV flat file, without having to import that data to your Drupal database? There’s a module for that.
  • Module name/project name:
  • Brief history
    • How old: created in March 2024 by Daniel Cothran (andileco) of JSI, though I met Danieal at Midcamp earlier this week and he was emphatic that his colleague and co-maintainer Nia Kathoni (nikathone) deserves significant credit
    • Versions available: 1.0.11, which works with Drupal 8.8, 9, 10, and 11
  • Maintainership
    • Actively maintained, latest release was last month
    • Security coverage
    • Test coverage
    • Documentation - a robust README
    • Number of open issues: 4 open issues, none of which are bugs
  • Usage stats:
    • 56 sites
  • Module features and usage
    • With Views CSV Source installed, you can create a view that uses a CSV as a source instead of the Drupal site’s data. You can point to a file within your site’s filesystem, or it can be a remotely hosted CSV. If the file requires authentication for access, it is also possible to include encoded credentials in a header.
    • Now you can use CSV Fields to specify the columns you want to pull into the view, and you can use the “group by” to specify datasets to represent, for example to plot as lines in a chart
    • You can also create filters, either a CSV Field that acts a standard text filter, or a CSV Field Options filter that creates a dropdown of all the unique values in a specified column
    • Your assembled data can be shown in tables or charts, and can also be manipulated using standard view configuration, or using contributed modules like Views Simple Math Field
    • The module also comes with sort and a contextual filter plugins
    • It was impressed by a demo of Views CSV Source in a lightning talk at Midcamp yesterday, so I thought it would be fun to talk about today
