Goals

This project has a few goals:

1. Make OO projects easier to serialize to xlsx
2. Make use of xlsx serialization and deserialization (coming soon) easier
3. Write the simplest to use api for xlsx serialization

Installation

From PyPi

1. Run pip install ezexcel or sudo pip3 install ezexcel

From source

1. Clone this repo: (https://github.com/Descent098/ez-excel)
2. Run pip install . or sudo pip3 install .in the root directory

Quick-start

Store some animal instances in a spreadsheet called 'animals.xlsx'

from ezexcel import Spreadsheet

class Animal():
    def __init__(self, name:str, conservation_status:str):
        self.name = name
        self.conservation_status = conservation_status

leopard_gecko = Animal('Leopard Gecko', 'Least Concern')

philippine_eagle = Animal('Philippine Eagle', 'Threatened')

with Spreadsheet('animals.xlsx', Animal) as output_sheet:
    output_sheet.store(leopard_gecko, philippine_eagle)

Store a list of instances into a spreadsheet called 'users.xlsx'

from ezexcel import Spreadsheet

import random
import string
from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class User():
    Name:str
    Age:int
    Weight:int
    Family: list # Note that Iterables will be flattened to a string with newline seperators

instances = []
ranstring = lambda: ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_uppercase, k=10)) # Generates a random 10 character string
for i in range(1000):
    instances.append(User(ranstring(), random.randint(12,100), random.randint(75,400), [ranstring(), ranstring(), ranstring()]))

with Spreadsheet('users.xlsx', User) as output_sheet:
    output_sheet.store(instances)
