DrupalBrief: Module - Working with External CSV Data in Drupal
In this episode, we explore the Views CSV Source module for Drupal—an innovative tool that lets site builders display data directly from CSV files without importing them into the database. We dive into how the module supports both local and remote files, even those requiring authentication, and how it integrates seamlessly with Views for filtering, sorting, and display.
Use cases range from showcasing internal reports to pulling in legacy system data. We also discuss performance advantages, version compatibility, security considerations, and the module’s current development status. Whether you're a developer handling large datasets or a site admin looking to streamline data integration, this episode offers practical insights into making CSVs work smarter in Drupal.
