Usage
This small section outlines the steps to adapt pyexcel-webio for your favourite web framework. For illustration purpose, I took Flask micro-framework as an example.
Inherit ExcelInput class and implement load_single_sheet and load_book methods depending on the parameters you will have. For example, Flask.Request put the incoming file in Flask.Request.files and the key is the field name in the html form:
from flask import Flask, Request import pyexcel as pe from pyexcel.ext import webio class ExcelRequest(webio.ExcelInput, Request): def _get_file_tuple(self, field_name): filehandle = self.files[field_name] filename = filehandle.filename extension = filename.split(".")[1] return extension, filehandle def load_single_sheet(self, field_name=None, sheet_name=None, **keywords): file_type, file_handle = self._get_file_tuple(field_name) return pe.get_sheet(file_type=file_type, content=file_handle.read(), sheet_name=sheet_name, **keywords) def load_book(self, field_name=None, **keywords): file_type, file_handle = self._get_file_tuple(field_name) return pe.get_book(file_type=file_type, content=file_handle.read(), **keywords)
Plugin in a response method that has the following signature:
def your_func(content, content_type=None, status=200): ....
or a response class has the same signature:
class YourClass: def __init__(self, content, content_type=None, status=200): ....
For example, with Flask, it is just a few lines:
from flask import Response webio.ExcelResponse = Response
Then make the proxy for make_response series by simply copying the following lines to your extension:
from pyexcel.ext.webio import ( make_response, make_response_from_array, make_response_from_dict, make_response_from_records, make_response_from_book_dict )
Support the project
If your company has embedded pyexcel and its components into a revenue generating product, please support me on patreon to maintain the project and develop it further.
If you are an individual, you are welcome to support me too on patreon and for however long you feel like to. As a patreon, you will receive early access to pyexcel related contents.
With your financial support, I will be able to invest a little bit more time in coding, documentation and writing interesting posts.
Development guide
Development steps for code changes
cd pyexcel-webio
Upgrade your setup tools and pip. They are needed for development and testing only:
pip install –upgrade setuptools pip
Then install relevant development requirements:
pip install -r rnd_requirements.txt # if such a file exists
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
Once you have finished your changes, please provide test case(s), relevant documentation and update CHANGELOG.rst.
How to test your contribution
Although nose and doctest are both used in code testing, it is adviable that unit tests are put in tests. doctest is incorporated only to make sure the code examples in documentation remain valid across different development releases.
On Linux/Unix systems, please launch your tests like this:
$ make
On Windows systems, please issue this command:
> test.bat
How to update test environment and update documentation
Additional steps are required:
pip install moban
git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-commons.git commons
make your changes in .moban.d directory, then issue command moban
What is pyexcel-commons
Many information that are shared across pyexcel projects, such as: this developer guide, license info, etc. are stored in pyexcel-commons project.
What is .moban.d
.moban.d stores the specific meta data for the library.
