Django-import-export - export from model functions?
For the Django model, I use the django-import-export package.
The manual says that I can export fields that do not exist in the target model, for example:
from import_export import fields
class BookResource(resources.ModelResource):
myfield = fields.Field(column_name='myfield')
class Meta:
model = Book

How do I export output from a model? for example Book.firstword ()

This is how you should do it (check https://django-import-export.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting_started.html#advanced-data-manipulation ):
from import_export import fields, resources class BookResource (resources.ModelResource): firstword = fields.Field () def dehydrate_firstword (self, book): return book.firstword () class Meta: model = Book
Update to answer OP's comment
To return fields in a specific order, you can use the export_order
Meta option ( https://django-import-export.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api_resources.html?highlight=export_order#import_export.resources.ResourceOptions ).
