Description

It is interesting to provide a way to export CSV files with the flows (similar to IOX file) and to read them. In addition to this, define (and implement) a protocol to sync CSV files with flows.

This can be something like: if you change in the CSV anything but don’t change the name, the flow will be updated. If you change the name, the flow will be added as a new one, and the previous will not be deleted. If you want to just rename it, there will be a column named old_name to allow the user to set there the flow to rename. If a flow needs to be deleted, in an extra column the 'delete’ word must be present

Flows can be:
  • Exported to:
    • CSV
    • XLS
  • Imported from:
    • CSV
    • ODS
    • XLS
    • XLSX

The attached file shows the format. Columns are:

  • name
  • flow_id
  • [optional] old_name

old_name is used to rename a file.

So, the import/export technology is almost gained. A very simple sync method is also implemented (renaming).
To complete the feature one might expect:
  • To use the permission system.
  • A better interface (more integrated in hobo?)
  • To allow adding flows to connectors in systems
  • To allow descriptions.

So, a superb step has been done, :( , but not a big one! :(
