Given a Frictionless Table Schema, generates an Excel template with input validation
Project description
tableschema-to-template
Given a Frictionless Table Schema (like this), generate an Excel template with input validation (like this).
This is a proof of concept.
Usage
pip install tableschema-to-template
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hubmapconsortium/tableschema-to-template/main/tests/fixtures/schema.yaml
ts2xl.py schema.yaml /tmp/template.xlsx
# Open with Excel:
open /tmp/template.xlsx
Development
From a checkout of the repo, run a demo:
pip install -r requirements.txt
PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:tableschema_to_template" \
tableschema_to_template/ts2xl.py \
tests/fixtures/schema.yaml /tmp/template.xlsx
# Open with Excel:
open /tmp/template.xlsx
Run the tests:
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
./test.sh
To build and publish,
- If you haven't already, generate a token on Pypi and create a
.pypirc
in your checkout. - Increment the version number in setup.py.
- Finally:
./publish.sh
Next steps
- How, and whether, to validate regex patterns. Possibilities:
- Don't even try!
- Add VBA to provide regex support in Excel.
- Target Google Sheets, which provides a regex function out of the box.
- Or target OpenOffice, where regexes can be turned on in the settings.
