The code is working fine it takes list of maps convert them into csv and export the value. This is the code

def to_csv(map, path) do
  file = File.open!(path, [:write, :utf8])
  map
   |> IO.inspect()
   |> CSV.encode(headers: true)
   |> Enum.each(&IO.write(file, &1))
end

This is the list of maps

%{
name: "Kelsie",    
date_of_birth: ~D[1944-06-02],
end_date: ~D[2017-10-30],   
category_id: [14, 9, 19, 14], 
room_name: "Filomena",
id: 11, 
},
%{ 
name: "Karson",
date_of_birth: ~D[1944-06-02],  
end_date: ~D[2017-11-04], 
category_id: [15, 19, 7, 14, 9],
room_name: "Bert",
id: 12,    
}
]

File is exporting successfully but the list of category ids not inserting . I just got \t\n in the place of category id.
Any suggestions?
If its possible?
Thanks

Which library are you using for CSV export?

That uses to_string/1 to encode anything but a BitString. So you probably hit a charlist issue here.

You need to preprocess your data properly to make it encodable.

Thanks for your answer. I just went with using map instead of list for category_id and encode it with poison. It seems to work
