## Description

Export GitLab issues to a CSV file with AJAX progress tracking and Fluent Boards
compatibility.

Key features:
 * Export issues directly from GitLab into CSV format. * AJAX-based
export with live progress tracking. * Fluent Boards compatibility. * Manage and 
delete generated CSV files from the admin panel.

### How to Create a Project Access Token in GitLab

#### Prerequisites

 * You must have sufficient permissions (Owner or Maintainer role).
 * On **GitLab.com**, Project Access Tokens require **Premium or Ultimate subscription**,
   or a trial.
 * On **self-managed GitLab instances**, tokens are generally available without 
   restrictions.

References:
 * https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/settings/project_access_tokens/*
https://forum.gitlab.com/

#### Steps

 1. Log in to GitLab and open your project.
 2. Navigate to **Settings  Access Tokens**.
 3. Click **Add new token**.
 4. Fill in:
 5.  * Token name
     * (Optional) Token description
     * Expiration date (default 30 days; non-expiring tokens removed since GitLab 16.0)
     * Role (Guest, Reporter, Developer, Maintainer, Owner)
     * Scopes (e.g., `api`, `read_api`)
 6. Click **Create project access token**.
 7. Copy and save the token immediately — it will only be shown once.

### External Services

This plugin connects to the GitLab API (https://gitlab.com) to retrieve project 
issues and export them as CSV files.

Data sent:
 * Project ID (required to fetch issues) * Access token (required for
authentication)

Data usage:
 * Sent only during export via AJAX requests. * No WordPress personal
user data is sent to GitLab.

Service Provider:
 * GitLab Inc. * Terms of Service: https://about.gitlab.com/terms/*
Privacy Policy: https://about.gitlab.com/privacy/

I’ve been using the Issues Exporter for GitLab plugin and it has made my workflow
so much easier. The setup was straightforward, and exporting issues into CSV only
takes a couple of clicks. I really like the live progress bar during export. it 
gives me confidence that everything is running smoothly. The exported files are 
well-structured, easy to manage, and I can delete or regenerate them directly from
the WordPress dashboard. It also works nicely with Fluent Boards, which is a big
plus for my team. Overall, it’s a lightweight plugin that does exactly what it promises
without any unnecessary complications. Highly recommended for anyone who works with
GitLab and needs quick reports in CSV format!
