Import / Export. Override default routes.

[levisimon]

We are working on an Import / Export feature for Resources.

The route we are trying to use is /admin/resource/import

After adding the Route, we get this error because we assume it is expecting /admin/resource/:id and it gets /admin/resource/import

If we add a skip_before_action in the Controller, it works. Is this the correct approach?

Controller

require 'csv'

module Madmin
  class InmueblesController < Madmin::ResourceController
    skip_before_action :set_record, only: [:export, :import]  # Skip record lookup for export and import

    def export
      Rails.logger.debug "Export action called"  # Debugging line
      csv_data = Inmueble.to_csv
      send_data csv_data, filename: "inmuebles-#{Date.today}.csv"
    end

    def import
      if params[:file].present?
        Inmueble.import(params[:file])  # Call the import method on the Inmueble model
        respond_to do |format|
          format.turbo_stream { flash.now[:notice] = "Inmuebles imported successfully." }
          format.html { redirect_to madmin_inmuebles_path, notice: "Inmuebles imported successfully." }
        end
      else
        respond_to do |format|
          format.turbo_stream { flash.now[:alert] = "Please upload a file." }
          format.html { redirect_to madmin_inmuebles_path, alert: "Please upload a file." }
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

How did you add the route for import?

[levisimon]

config
--routes
----madmin.rb

namespace :madmin, path: :admin do  
  resources :inmuebles do
    collection do
      get :export
      post :import
    end
  end
end

I am also interested in a hint on how to add virtual / model-less resources exactly for the same purpose.
Are there any official recommendations for this use case?
