Add UTF-8 BOM header to Flask-Admin export
Posted | stdout
A simple trick to add additional bytes prepending Flask's stream_with_context
from flask_admin.contrib.sqla import ModelView
from itertools import chain
class MyAdminView(ModelView):
can_export = True
column_export_list = ['field1', 'field2']
def _export_csv(self, return_url):
r = super(MyAdminView, self)._export_csv(return_url)
r.response = chain((b'\xef\xbb\xbf',), r.response)
return r
I am still using Python2 and Flask-admin shit. It's a shame but anyway.
