# DeepaMehta 4 CSV Importer
simple CSV importer to update flat topic compositions
Limitations:
* delimiter: ```|``` (default)
* data type: Text
## Requirements
* [DeepaMehta 4](http://github.com/jri/deepamehta) 4.1.3-SNAPSHOT
* Write access to dm4.filerepo.path (see DM4 config file)
## Usage
the plugin adds an *Import CSV* action for topic types
### import some topics from a CSV file
to create some *Note* topics use a CSV file like the following:
```
csv.example | dm4.notes.title | dm4.notes.text
one | check this | with content
two | check this too | and with another content
```
upload the file with the *Import CSV* action of the *Note* topic type
an import of some *Web Resource* topics could look like this:
```
deep.web | dm4.webbrowser.url | dm4.webbrowser.web_resource_description

```
### update existing topics
to update all instances of a topic type just import the modified CSV file again,
but be aware of these rules:
* existing topic is updated by a URI match
* row without a matching topic URI creates a new topic instance
* existing topic instance with a type URI and no actual row match is deleted
### CSV Format Description
* topic URI prefix as the first entry (row: 0, col: 0)
* all direct child topics are the remaining header columns
* one topic per row with topic URI suffix in the first column
