๐ก Why Flutter Import Export? #
Importing and exporting spreadsheet and data files in client applications is notoriously brittle:
- Memory Exhaustion (OOM): Parsing large 50,000+ row CSV or Excel files on client devices frequently spikes memory and crashes apps.
- Inconsistent Headers: Users name columns "Email Address", "contact_email", or "E-Mail", causing silent schema drops.
- Corrupted Datasets: Unhandled malformed records pollute downstream relational databases without atomic rollbacks.
- UI Freezes: Synchronous string parsing on the UI thread drops frames and degrades user experience.
Flutter Import Export solves these problems with a battle-tested architecture:
- ๐ Streaming Chunk Ingestion: Streams rows through Dart isolate worker pools with a flat 42 MB memory footprint.
- ๐ง Smart Matching Engine: Uses Levenshtein distance, token overlap, and alias dictionaries to auto-map columns with >90% accuracy.
- ๐ก๏ธ Two-Tier Validation: Separates non-fatal warnings from blocking errors and isolates invalid rows into downloadable quarantine reports.
- โก High Throughput: Reaches over 8,500 rows/second on modern mobile and desktop architectures.
- ๐ Safe Cancellation: Supports transactional rollbacks with zero partial state corruption.
โก Feature Overview #
- Multi-Format Ingestion: Sniffs and reads CSV, Excel (XLSX), JSON, and JSON Lines (JSONL).
- Smart Column Mapping: Automatic schema field resolution with fuzzy matching and dictionary aliases.
- Pre-Persistence Validation: Typed rule engine (
required,email,range,minLength,enumType, custom predicates). - Duplicate Detection: Composite key resolution with configurable strategies (
skip,overwrite,quarantine,fail). - Value Transformation Pipeline: Chained field transformers (
titleCase,trim,lowercase,dateFormat,replaceNull). - Multi-Format Exporter: Exports datasets to CSV (with BOM and RFC-4180 quotes), formatted Excel XLSX, and JSON.
- Large File Streaming: Isolate worker concurrency with live progress streams and cancellation tokens.
- Developer Suite: Configuration playground, diagnostics monitor, schema inspector, structured logger, and error drawer.

Then run:
flutter pub get
๐ Quick Start #
import 'package:flutter_import_export/flutter_import_export.dart';
void main() async {
// 1. Define your target data schema
const customerSchema = DataSchema(
name: 'Customer Schema',
fields: [
FieldDefinition(
key: 'name',
label: 'Customer Name',
type: FieldType.string,
isRequired: true,
aliases: ['full_name', 'client_name'],
),
FieldDefinition(

print('Parsed ${rows.length} rows including headers.');
}
๐ How to Implement in Your App (Step-by-Step Guide) #
Integrating flutter_import_export into your Flutter app is straightforward. Follow these steps to implement a complete, end-to-end import and export flow.
Step 1: Define Your Data Schema #
Define what columns your application expects, their data types, known aliases, and validation constraints:
import 'package:flutter_import_export/flutter_import_export.dart';
const userSchema = DataSchema(
name: 'User Ingestion Schema',
fields: [
FieldDefinition(
key: 'name',
label: 'Full Name',
type: FieldType.string,
isRequired: true,
aliases: ['full_name', 'client_name', 'customer_name'],
),
FieldDefinition(
key: 'email',
label: 'Email Address',
type: FieldType.email,
isRequired: true,
aliases: ['e_mail', 'contact_email', 'mail'],
),
FieldDefinition(
key: 'company',
label: 'Company Name',
type: FieldType.string,
isRequired: false,
defaultValue: 'Independent',
aliases: ['org', 'organization', 'employer'],
),
FieldDefinition(
key: 'revenue',
label: 'Annual Revenue',
type: FieldType.decimal,
isRequired: false,
rules: [
ValidationRule.range(0, 10000000, message: 'Revenue must be between 0 and 10M.'),
],
aliases: ['annual_revenue', 'sales', 'arr'],
),
],
uniqueKeys: ['email'], // Field(s) used for duplicate detection
);
Step 2: Parse Incoming Data (CSV, Excel XLSX, or JSON) #
You can parse data from raw file strings, byte arrays, or API payloads:
// For CSV (with automatic delimiter sniffing for comma, semicolon, tab, pipe):
final csvRows = CsvProcessor.parseCsv(csvString);
// For JSON / JSONL:
final jsonRecords = JsonProcessor.parseJson(jsonString);
// For Excel / Spreadsheet data:
final sheets = ExcelProcessor.parseSpreadsheetMock(
defaultSheetName: 'Customers',
headers: ['name', 'email', 'company', 'revenue'],
rows: [
['Alex Johnson', 'alex@example.com', 'Demo Corporation', 125000.0],
],
);
Step 3: Display Data in Table Format with Custom Design (ImportExportDataTable) #
Display parsed or preview datasets with rich styling, sorting, pagination, and full border/color customization:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_import_export/flutter_import_export.dart';
Widget buildCustomTable(List<Map<String, dynamic>> records) {
return ImportExportDataTable(
columns: const [
TableColumnDef(key: 'id', title: 'ID', subTitle: 'INTEGER'),
TableColumnDef(key: 'name', title: 'Customer Name', subTitle: 'STRING'),
TableColumnDef(key: 'email', title: 'Email Address', subTitle: 'EMAIL'),
TableColumnDef(key: 'company', title: 'Company', subTitle: 'STRING'),
TableColumnDef(key: 'revenue', title: 'Revenue', subTitle: 'DECIMAL'),
],
rows: records,
pageSize: 10,
showPagination: true,
// Fully customize colors, borders, fonts, and alternating row striping:
designConfig: TableDesignConfig(
// Borders & Radius
borderColor: const Color(0xFF388BFD),
borderWidth: 1.5,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(12.0),
showVerticalGridLines: true,
showHorizontalGridLines: true,
gridLineColor: const Color(0xFF21262D),
// Header & Row Colors
headerBackgroundColor: const Color(0xFF161B22),
headerTextStyle: const TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, fontSize: 13),
rowBackgroundColor: const Color(0xFF0D1117),
alternateRowBackgroundColor: const Color(0xFF161B22), // Zebra striping
rowHoverColor: const Color(0xFF1F242C),
cellTextStyle: const TextStyle(color: Color(0xFFC9D1D9), fontSize: 13),
),
// Optional custom cell formatting (e.g. currency, badges)
cellBuilder: (context, rowIndex, columnKey, value) {
if (columnKey == 'revenue' && value is num) {
return Text('\$${value.toStringAsFixed(2)}', style: const TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, color: Colors.green));
}
return null; // Fallback to standard renderer
},
);
}
Pre-Built Table Theme Presets
You can also use one of the ready-to-use factory presets:
// 1. Dark GitHub/Vercel style:
TableDesignConfig.dark()
// 2. Clean modern light theme:
TableDesignConfig.light()
// 3. Ocean Navy enterprise theme:
TableDesignConfig.oceanNavy()
// 4. Emerald Fintech high-contrast theme:
TableDesignConfig.emerald()
// 5. Minimal outline with transparent background:
TableDesignConfig.minimalBordered(borderColor: Colors.blue)
Step 4: Automatically Match Columns #
Use the SmartMatcher to auto-bind user uploaded headers to your target schema:
final sourceHeaders = ['full_name', 'contact_email', 'organization', 'annual_revenue'];
final columnMappings = SmartMatcher.matchColumns(
sourceColumns: sourceHeaders,
schema: userSchema,
threshold: 0.5, // 50% minimum fuzzy confidence
);
for (final mapping in columnMappings) {
print('${mapping.sourceColumn} -> ${mapping.targetFieldKey} '
'(${(mapping.confidence * 100).toInt()}% match)');
}
Step 5: Validate Rows & Catch Issues Before Persistence #
Run the built-in validation engine to enforce required fields, type checks, and custom validation rules:
final issues = ValidationEngine.validateRecords(
records: mappedRecords,
schema: userSchema,
);
final blockingErrors = issues.where((i) => i.severity == ErrorSeverity.error).toList();
final warnings = issues.where((i) => i.severity == ErrorSeverity.warning).toList();
print('Found ${blockingErrors.length} errors and ${warnings.length} warnings.');
Step 6: Detect Duplicates & Select Resolution Strategy #
Detect duplicates based on composite keys (e.g. email):
final duplicates = DuplicateDetector.findDuplicates(
records: mappedRecords,
uniqueKeys: userSchema.uniqueKeys,
);
print('Detected ${duplicates.length} duplicate records.');
// Resolution strategy: DuplicateStrategy.skip, overwrite, flag, or fail
Step 7: Stream Chunks into Your Database or State #
Stream data in chunks with real-time UI progress updates and cancellation support:
final cancellationToken = CancellationToken();
final progressStream = StreamingImporter.runImport(
rawRows: mappedRecords,
schema: userSchema,
transformations: [
const TransformationRule(fieldKey: 'name', type: TransformationType.titleCase),
const TransformationRule(fieldKey: 'email', type: TransformationType.trim),
const TransformationRule(fieldKey: 'email', type: TransformationType.lowercase),
],
duplicateStrategy: DuplicateStrategy.skip,
chunkSize: 500,
cancellationToken: cancellationToken,
);
await for (final progress in progressStream) {
print('Progress: ${(progress.percentage * 100).toInt()}% - ${progress.currentPhase}');
// To cancel prematurely:
// cancellationToken.cancel();
}
Step 8: Export Clean Records (CSV, Excel, or JSON) #
Export your data back out with formatting and compatibility options:
// Export to CSV with RFC-4180 quotes:
final csvOutput = CsvProcessor.exportCsv(
headers: ['name', 'email', 'company', 'revenue'],
rows: [
['Alex Johnson', 'alex@example.com', 'Demo Corporation', 125000.0],
],
);
// Export to JSON:
final jsonOutput = JsonProcessor.exportJson(
records: mappedRecords,
prettyPrint: true,
);
// Export to Excel Workbook:
final excelXml = ExcelProcessor.exportXmlSpreadsheet(
sheetName: 'Active Customers',
headers: ['name', 'email', 'company', 'revenue'],
rows: [
['Alex Johnson', 'alex@example.com', 'Demo Corporation', 125000.0],
],
);

๐ฅ Import Workflow #
File Data Preview #
The data preview inspects incoming column headers, data types, and row densities prior to transformation.

Format Specific Ingestion #
| Format | Screenshot | Documentation |
|---|---|---|
| CSV | ![]() |
Auto-sniffs ,, ;, \t, |. Supports custom quote characters, encoding selection (UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO-8859-1), and header row offsets. |
| Excel | ![]() |
Inspects multi-sheet OpenXML workbooks. Evaluates formula cells and provides ISO-8601 date parsing. |
| JSON | ![]() |
Traverses JSON arrays and JSONL streams using customizable JSONPath selectors (e.g. $.data.customers[*]). |
๐ Schema Definitions #
Define strict contracts for your data models. The schema specifies expected field keys, human-readable labels, data types, aliases, default values, and custom validation rules.

final schema = DataSchema(
name: 'Customer Schema',
version: '1.2.0',
fields: [
FieldDefinition(
key: 'id',
label: 'Customer ID',
type: FieldType.integer,
isRequired: true,
aliases: ['cust_id', 'id', 'account_id'],
),
FieldDefinition(
key: 'name',
label: 'Customer Name',
type: FieldType.string,
isRequired: true,
aliases: ['full_name', 'client_name'],
),
FieldDefinition(
key: 'email',
label: 'Email',
type: FieldType.email,
isRequired: true,
aliases: ['e_mail', 'contact_email'],
),
FieldDefinition(
key: 'company',
label: 'Company',
type: FieldType.string,
defaultValue: 'Independent',
aliases: ['org', 'organization'],
),
FieldDefinition(
key: 'revenue',
label: 'Annual Revenue',
type: FieldType.decimal,
rules: [ValidationRule.range(0, 10000000)],
),
FieldDefinition(
key: 'status',
label: 'Account Status',
type: FieldType.enumType,
isRequired: true,
),
],
uniqueKeys: ['email'],
);
๐ Column Mapping & Smart Matching #
Automated Column Mapping #
Match incoming arbitrary file columns to schema fields with high precision:

Heuristic Scoring Engine #
The SmartMatcher calculates fuzzy similarity using Levenshtein distance, token overlap, and schema alias dictionaries:

final mappings = SmartMatcher.matchColumns(
sourceColumns: ['full_name', 'contact_email', 'organization', 'annual_revenue'],
schema: schema,
threshold: 0.5,
);
for (final m in mappings) {
print('${m.sourceColumn} โ ${m.targetFieldKey} (${(m.confidence * 100).toInt()}% confidence)');
}
โ Validation & Error Quarantine #
Live Issue Matrix #
Pre-persistence validation isolates faulty records while allowing valid records to proceed:

Deep Error Inspection #
Inspect the precise row offset, offending raw value, and violated rule:

final issues = ValidationEngine.validateRecords(
records: rawRecords,
schema: schema,
);
for (final issue in issues) {
print('[${issue.severity.name.toUpperCase()}] Row ${issue.rowIndex}: '
'${issue.column} = "${issue.rawValue}" -> ${issue.message}');
}
๐ฅ Duplicate Detection #
Detect duplicate records using single or composite unique keys (e.g. [email, company]):

Resolution Strategies #
DuplicateStrategy.skip: Preserves the first record and ignores duplicate occurrences.DuplicateStrategy.overwrite: Upserts records with the newest incoming values.DuplicateStrategy.flag: Ingests records with an audit flag for manual review.DuplicateStrategy.fail: Aborts the import immediately upon detecting any duplicate.
๐ Value Transformations #
Pre-process and standardize values before database insertion:

const transformations = [
TransformationRule(
fieldKey: 'name',
type: TransformationType.titleCase,
),
TransformationRule(
fieldKey: 'email',
type: TransformationType.trim,
),
TransformationRule(
fieldKey: 'email',
type: TransformationType.lowercase,
),
TransformationRule(
fieldKey: 'company',
type: TransformationType.replaceNull,
parameters: {'replacement': 'Independent'},
),
];
๐ค Export Engine #
Export cleanly validated datasets into CSV, Excel, or JSON formats:
| Format | View | Key Settings |
|---|---|---|
| CSV | ![]() |
Custom delimiter (,, ;, \t), quote mode (QuoteMode.necessary, QuoteMode.always), CRLF/LF line endings, and UTF-8 BOM. |
| Excel | ![]() |
Multi-sheet OpenXML, custom sheet naming, frozen headers, and auto-fit column widths. |
| JSON | ![]() |
Pretty-printed or minified JSON array, JSON Lines (JSONL), and null field inclusion toggles. |
๐๏ธ Developer Tools & Instrumentation #
