An array field in scrapy.Item

Question

I want to add a field to scrapy.Item so that it's an array:

class MyItem(scrapy.Item):
    field1 = scrapy.Field()
    field2 = scrapy.Field()
    field3_array = ???

How can I do that?

Answer 1

You just create a filed

field3_array = scrapy.Field()

But while parsing the scraped items do like this

items['field3_array'] = []

items['field3_array'][0] ='one'
items['field3_array'][1] ='two'

in this way you can achieve this.
