Gem for importing and exporting ActiveRecord data. 
Great for creating seed data from data entered through your app's ui or the console.

Install:¶ ↑

$ gem install timecapsule
* for Rails <3.0 use:
$ gem install --version '= 1.0.0' timecapsule

Usage:¶ ↑

* Export a model from your app to a csv file. Here is an example for a User model:
  $ Timecapsule.export_model(User)
* Import a model from the csv file:
  $ Timecapsule.import_model(User)
* To specify a different import or export directory, besides the default db/seed, 
  open the automatically generated config/timecapsule.yml file and change the export directory.
* To import all the csv files in your import directory call the import method:
  $ Timecapsule.import
* If the order of import matters for your models, you can specify the order at export time:
  $ Timecapsule.export_model(User, 1)
    Timecapsule.export_model(Post, 2)
* Remember that if you want to maintain relationships between import/export 
  you must reset the primary key sequence (id) for each of the tables for your models. 
  Or drop and re-create your database.
