Created Using Ivy

Web application created using Ivy-Framework.

Ivy - The ultimate framework for building internal tools with LLM code generation by unifying front-end and back-end into a single C# codebase. With Ivy, you can build robust internal tools and dashboards using C# and AI assistance based on your existing database.

Ivy is a web framework for building interactive web applications using C# and .NET.

Interactive Example For CSV File Operations

This example demonstrates CSV file operations using the CsvHelper library integrated with Ivy. CsvHelper is an extremely fast, flexible, and easy-to-use library for reading and writing CSV files.

What This Application Does:

This specific implementation creates a Product Management application that allows users to:

• Create Product Records: Fill out a form with product information (name, description, price, category)
• Export to CSV: Download product data as properly formatted CSV files
• Import from CSV: Upload CSV files to bulk import products with automatic validation
• Manage Products: View, add, and delete products in a real-time data table
• Form Validation: Validates required fields and data types for product creation
• Interactive UI: Split-panel layout with controls on the left and data table on the right

Technical Implementation:

• Uses CsvHelper's CsvWriter and CsvReader for robust CSV processing
• Generates downloadable CSV files with proper headers and formatting
• Implements file upload handling with automatic ID generation and timestamp assignment
• Creates responsive table layout with delete functionality
• Handles form submission with toast notifications and state management
• Supports custom class object serialization/deserialization
