| 1 | +# Exportable/Importable Trait Split |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The original `Exportable` trait has been split into two separate traits for better code organization and adherence to the Single Responsibility Principle: |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- **`Exportable`** - Export data from models to files (CSV, JSON, Excel) |
| 8 | +- **`Importable`** - Import data into models from files with validation and preview |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## Why Split? |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +1. **Single Responsibility**: Each trait now has one clear purpose |
| 13 | +2. **Better Modularity**: Use only what you need (`Exportable`, `Importable`, or both) |
| 14 | +3. **Easier Maintenance**: Smaller, focused files are easier to understand and modify |
| 15 | +4. **Flexible Usage**: Models can choose to implement one or both traits |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Migration Guide |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### Before (Old Approach) |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +```php |
| 22 | +use Litepie\Database\Traits\Exportable; |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +class Product extends Model |
| 25 | +{ |
| 26 | + use Exportable; |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + // Both export and import methods available |
| 29 | +} |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +// Export |
| 32 | +$path = Product::query()->exportToCsv(); |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +// Import |
| 35 | +$imported = Product::importFromCsv('products.csv'); |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +### After (New Approach) |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +#### Option 1: Export Only |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +```php |
| 43 | +use Litepie\Database\Traits\Exportable; |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +class Product extends Model |
| 46 | +{ |
| 47 | + use Exportable; |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + // Only export methods available |
| 50 | +} |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +// Export |
| 53 | +$path = Product::query()->exportToCsv(); |
| 54 | +``` |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +#### Option 2: Import Only |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +```php |
| 59 | +use Litepie\Database\Traits\Importable; |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +class Product extends Model |
| 62 | +{ |
| 63 | + use Importable; |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + // Only import methods available |
| 66 | +} |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +// Import |
| 69 | +$imported = Product::importFromCsv('products.csv'); |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +// Preview |
| 72 | +$preview = Product::previewImport('products.csv', 'csv', $mapping); |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +#### Option 3: Both Export and Import |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +```php |
| 78 | +use Litepie\Database\Traits\Exportable; |
| 79 | +use Litepie\Database\Traits\Importable; |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +class Product extends Model |
| 82 | +{ |
| 83 | + use Exportable, Importable; |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + // All methods available |
| 86 | +} |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +// Export |
| 89 | +$path = Product::query()->exportToCsv(); |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +// Import |
| 92 | +$imported = Product::importFromCsv('products.csv'); |
| 93 | +``` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +## Trait Features |

| 110 | +- API data exports |
| 111 | +- Scheduled exports |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +### Importable Trait |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +**Methods:** |
| 116 | +- `importFromCsv()` - Import CSV files |
| 117 | +- `importFromJson()` - Import JSON files |
| 118 | +- `importFromExcel()` - Import Excel files |

| 120 | +- `validateImportFile()` - Validate import file structure |
| 121 | +- `getImportRecommendations()` - Get recommendations for import settings |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +**Use Cases:** |
| 124 | +- Bulk data imports |
| 125 | +- Data migrations |
| 126 | +- User-uploaded data |
| 127 | +- Seeding databases |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +## Example Files |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +### Export Examples |
| 132 | +See: `examples/exportable_example.php` |
| 133 | +- 20 examples covering all export scenarios |
| 134 | +- CSV, JSON, Excel exports |
| 135 | +- Streaming, filtering, relationships |
| 136 | +- Cloud storage, scheduled exports |

| 144 | + |
| 145 | +## Breaking Changes |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +### None! |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +The new implementation is **100% backward compatible** if you use both traits: |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +```php |
| 152 | +// This works exactly as before |
| 153 | +use Exportable, Importable; |
| 154 | +``` |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +The only "breaking" change is if you want to use just export or just import functionality - in which case you now have the flexibility to do so. |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +## File Changes |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +### New Files |
| 161 | +- `src/Traits/Importable.php` - New import-only trait |
| 162 | +- `examples/importable_example.php` - 20 import examples |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +### Modified Files |
| 165 | +- `src/Traits/Exportable.php` - Now export-only (reduced from 931 to ~400 lines) |
| 166 | +- `examples/exportable_example.php` - Now 20 export-only examples |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +### Backup Files (can be deleted) |
| 169 | +- `src/Traits/ExportableOld.php` - Original combined trait |
| 170 | +- `examples/exportable_example_old.php` - Original combined examples |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +## Benefits |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +1. **Reduced File Size**: Each trait is now ~400-500 lines instead of 931 lines |
| 175 | +2. **Clearer Purpose**: File names directly indicate functionality |
| 176 | +3. **Better Performance**: Load only what you need |
| 177 | +4. **Easier Testing**: Test import and export separately |
| 178 | +5. **Better Documentation**: Examples are now focused and easier to find |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +## Recommendations |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +### When to use `Exportable`: |
| 183 | +- Read-only models (reports, analytics) |
| 184 | +- Models that generate downloadable data |
| 185 | +- API endpoints that export data |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +### When to use `Importable`: |
| 188 | +- Models that receive bulk uploads |
| 189 | +- Admin interfaces with import functionality |
| 190 | +- Data migration models |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +### When to use both: |
| 193 | +- Full-featured admin models |
| 194 | +- Products, orders, users (typical CRUD models) |
| 195 | +- Models with complete data portability needs |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +## Next Steps |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +1. ✅ Split completed |
| 200 | +2. ✅ Examples separated |
| 201 | +3. ✅ Documentation created |
| 202 | +4. ⏭️ Test both traits independently |
| 203 | +5. ⏭️ Update README.md with split information |
| 204 | +6. ⏭️ Delete backup files when confirmed working |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +## Questions? |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | +The split maintains all original functionality while providing better code organization. Both traits follow the same conventions as other traits in the package (Searchable, Cacheable, Measurable, etc.). |
