Import-Export service

TIP

Available as a global service

WARNING

create is the only method allowed from the client side.

Overview

This service relies on feathers-import-export. It provides bulk data import and export capabilities backed by an S3-compatible storage layer.

INFO

The import-export service instantiates its own internal S3 service to avoid mixing temporary objects with the objects managed by the Storage service.

TIP

For performance reasons, we do not recommend installing before/after hooks to transform data during import/export. Instead, use the transformation functions provided by the library.

Data model

No data model — data are stored directly on an S3-compatible storage backend.

Hooks

The following hooks are executed on the import-export service:
