CommaSeparatedValueProcessor¶

The CommaSeparatedValueProcessor allows to split values into a two-dimensional array used for CSV files or tt_content records of CType table.

The table data is transformed to a multi-dimensional array, taking the delimiter and enclosure into account, before it is passed to the view.

Options:¶

if¶

if ¶

Type: if condition
Required: false
Default: ''

If the condition is met, the data processor is processed.

fieldName¶

fieldName ¶

Type: string / stdWrap
Required: true
Default: ''

Name of the field in the processed ContentObjectRenderer.

as¶

as ¶

Type: string
Required: false
Default: defaults to the fieldName

The variable's name to be used in the Fluid template.

maximumColumns¶

maximumColumns ¶

Type: integer / stdWrap
Required: false
Default: 0

Maximal number of columns to be transformed. Surplus columns will be silently dropped. When set to 0 (default) all columns will be transformed.

fieldDelimiter¶

fieldDelimiter ¶

Type: string / stdWrap
Required: false
Default: ,

The field delimiter, a character separating the values.

fieldEnclosure¶

fieldEnclosure ¶

Type: string / stdWrap
Required: false
Default: "

The field enclosure, a character surrounding the values.

Example: Transforming comma separated content into a html table¶

Please see also About the examples.

In this example, the bodytext field contains comma-separated values (CSV) data. To support different formats, the separator between the values can be specified.

This example is also described in-depth in TYPO3 Explained: Extended content element example.

Example data in the field `bodytext`¶

Field bodytext in table tt_content:

"This is row 1 column 1","This is row 1 column 2","This is row 1 column 3"
"This is row 2 column 1","This is row 2 column 2","This is row 2 column 3"
"This is row 3 column 1","This is row 3 column 2","This is row 3 column 3"

TypoScript¶

We define the dataProcessing property to use the CommaSeparatedValueProcessor:

            EXT:examples/Configuration/TypoScript/DataProcessors/Processors/CommaSeparatedValueProcessor.typoscript
        

tt_content {
   examples_newcontentcsv =< lib.contentElement
   examples_newcontentcsv {
      templateName = DataProcCsv
      dataProcessing.10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\CommaSeparatedValueProcessor
      dataProcessing.10 {
         if.isTrue.field = bodytext
         fieldName = bodytext
         fieldDelimiter.field = tx_examples_separator
         fieldEnclosure = "
         maximumColumns.field = imagecols
         as = myTable
      }
   }
}

The Fluid template¶

In the Fluid template, you can iterate over the processed data. "myContentTable" can be used as a variable {myContentTable} inside Fluid for iteration.

EXT:examples/Resources/Private/Templates/ContentElements/DataProcCsv.html

<html data-namespace-typo3-fluid="true" xmlns:f="http://typo3.org/ns/TYPO3/CMS/Fluid/ViewHelpers">
   <h2>Data in variable "myTable"</h2>
   <f:debug inline="true">{myTable}</f:debug>

   <h2>Output, {data.imagecols} columns separated by char {data.tx_examples_separator}</h2>
   <table class="table table-bordered">
      <f:for each="{myTable}" as="columns" iteration="i">
         <tr>
            <th scope="row">{i.cycle}</th>
            <f:for as="column" each="{columns}">
               <td>{column}</td>
            </f:for>
         <tr>
      </f:for>
   </table>
</html>

Output¶

Using maximumColumns limits the amount of columns in the multi dimensional array. In this example, the field data of the last column will be stripped off. Therefore the output would be:
