npm install strapi-import-export

Import export for Strapi 5

• This is a fork of strapi-import-export by @Baboo7, but built from scratch starting with this guide to work with Strapi 5 and use the new API.

• Fairly untested, but mostly working

Done

• Import - seems to work okay (there is a known issue from the original plugin where the deepness dropdown doesn't work when the number of levels is high)
• Export - seems working, need testing
• Admin dashboard components started (converted a lot of the deprecated imports)
  • replaced select dropdowns
  • updated checkboxes to use radix api
  • loads of other similar stuff
• Server stuff converted to ESM so it can be used in Strapi 5
• Removed a lot of typescript because it was causing issues with new plugin development yalc, and types became out of date
• Replace all strapi.entityService - that gonna be deprecated

See video (this was when I first started): Watch on YouTube 📹

TODO

• Convert back to typescript if you want (I don't need this though)
