Hi,
I’ve created a new content type called “Product”. I need to import the CSV rows into the Product content type. Is there a plugin available for this, or will I need to implement custom development? If custom development is required, what are the necessary steps?
Same requirement needed in my project also.
To import CSV data into Strapi, start by converting the CSV file into JSON format. Save the resultin JSON file (e.g., data.json) in the root directory of your Strapi project for easy access.
Next, ensure that the JSON structure aligns with the schema of the target content type in Strapi. Check that all required fields are included, and their types match those defined in the Strapi schema. For example, if you’re importing data into an “articles” content type, fields like title, content, and published_at should match their counterparts in Strapi.
Once the JSON file is ready, create a script to handle the data import. This script should read the data.json file and send POST requests to Strapi’s REST API endpoints (e.g., http://localhost:1337/api/{content-type}).
With the script prepared, start your Strapi server and execute the script. Monitor the output for any errors or success messages during the import process. After the script completes, open the Strapi admin panel to verify that the data has been imported correctly.
By following these steps, you can efficiently migrate CSV data into Strapi while ensuring that the data structure remains consistent with your content types.
