I want to add my custom entity for export Magento 2

Question

I want to export my custom entity from the admin like products, customers, etc... I have already created the code for the import for my custom entity and it is working fine. But now I want to add the same entity for the export my data. Please see attached image that how I want the functionality.

There is a simple database table with three fields. The table name is 'manufacturer_manufacturer' and fields name are following.
There is no any primary key.

1. manufacturer
2. model
3. product_ids

So I want just export above data from my table only.

I want to add the option in dropdown like 'manufacturer'.If admin selects that value and export then all the data should be exported in the CSV format.

Answer 1

This is possible by following the below steps;

1. Include export.xml in your module etc directory with a content similar to the below;

   <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_ImportExport:etc/import.xsd">
       <entity
           name="manufacturer"
           label="Manufacturer Export"
           model="VendorName\Manufacturer\Model\Export\Manufacturer"
           entityAttributeFilterType="manufacturer" />
   </config>
   

2. Ensure your export model class extend \Magento\ImportExport\Model\Export\AbstractEntity class, then override the abstract methods to add your concrete implementations. The export model class will be similar to the below;

namespace VendorName\Manufacturer\Model\Export;

/**
 * Class Manufacturer
 */
class Manufacturer extends \Magento\ImportExport\Model\Export\AbstractEntity
{
    /**
     * Permanent column names
     */
    const COLUMN_MANUFACTURER = 'manufacturer';
    const COLUMN_MODEL = 'model';
    const COLUMN_PROD_IDS = 'product_ids';

    /**
     * Permanent entity columns
     *
     * @var string[]
     */
    protected $_permanentAttributes = [
        self::COLUMN_MANUFACTURER,
        self::COLUMN_MODEL,
        self::COLUMN_PROD_IDS,
    ];

    public function export()
    {
        // TODO: Implement export() method.
    }

    public function exportItem($item)
    {
        // TODO: Implement exportItem() method.
    }

    public function getEntityTypeCode()
    {
        return  'manufacturer';
    }

    protected function _getHeaderColumns()
    {
        return $this->_permanentAttributes;
    }

    protected function _getEntityCollection()
    {
        // TODO: Implement _getEntityCollection() method.
    }
}

You can get more information on how to implement these abstract methods in \Magento\CustomerImportExport\Model\Export\Customer class.

I hope this helps.
