How to Export Drupal Webforms

Are you struggling to export your Drupal webforms due to out-of-memory errors? Look no further! In this article, we'll dive into the world of webform exporting and provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to do it successfully.

First things first, let's start with the basics. The `drush webform-export` command is a powerful tool that allows you to export your webform submissions in various formats. This command can be run from the Drupal console or using Drush, a PHP script designed for interacting with Drupal.

To use the `drush webform-export` command, you'll need to specify several options. One of the most important options is `-batch-size`, which determines how many rows are exported per batch. By default, this is set to 10,000, but you can adjust it to suit your needs.

Another crucial option is `-completion-type`, which specifies what type of submissions should be included in the export. You can choose from three options: 'finished', 'draft', or 'all'. If you don't specify an option, the default will be used.

You can also use the `-range-start` and `-range-end` options to specify a range of submissions to export. For example, you can use `-range-start` to start exporting from a specific submission ID, serial number, or date. Similarly, you can use `-range-end` to specify where the export should stop.

If you want to export only the latest X submissions, you can use the `-range-latest` option. This will automatically set the `range-type` to 'latest'.

The `-select-format` option allows you to control how select list values are exported. You can choose from two options: 'separate' or 'compact'. The default is 'separate', but you can change it to 'compact' if you prefer.

You can also use the `-header-keys` option to specify which header keys should be included in the export. By default, this will include the label, form key, and several other options.

Finally, you can use the `-components` option to specify which components or form keys should be included in the export. This is particularly useful if you only want to export specific fields or data.

In summary, the `drush webform-export` command provides a powerful way to export your Drupal webforms. By using the various options available, you can customize the export process to suit your needs and avoid out-of-memory errors.
