Project description

Django MS Excel Generator aims to create a template system for generation of the Excel documents for views (instead of HTML).

  1. Simple case: sniff model and make an excel table;

  2. Medium case: sniff model, make excel table, and apply predetermined styles (fonts, colors, layout)

  3. Advanced case: take models and set custom styles or modify existing

Requiments

Examples

testobj in the following examples is django.db.models.query.QuerySet instance

Simple: create ExcelReport instance, add excel sheet, add queryset to analyze:

>>> from django_excel_templates import *
>>> report = ExcelReport()
>>> report.addSheet("TestBasic")
>>> report.addQuerySet(testobj, REPORT_HORZ, addheader=True)

Medium (create styles, one by one): create ExcelStyle instance to specify style (see help(ExcelStyle) for available methods and style options), create ExcelFormatter instance, add style to it:

>>> report.addSheet("TestStyle")
>>> style = ExcelStyle()
>>> style.set_alignment(horz=3, wrap=1)
>>> style.set_font(font_color='000000', bold=True, italic=True)
>>> style.set_border(border_color='000000', border_style=5)
>>> style.set_pattern(pattern_color='339933', pattern=1)
>>> formatter = ExcelFormatter()
>>> formatter.addBodyStyle(style=style)
>>> report.addFormatter(formatter)
>>> report.addQuerySet(testobj, orientation=REPORT_HORZ, addheader=True)

Medium (create styles all at once):

>>> report.addSheet("TestStyle2")
>>> headerstyle = ExcelStyle(font_color='00FF00', shadow=True, underline=True,
                             pattern_color='000000', pattern=1, border_style=5,
                             border_color='FFFFFF')
>>> col_style = ExcelStyle(font_color='FFFFFF')
>>> formatter.addHeaderStyle(headerstyle)
>>> formatter.addColunmStyle('column_name', style=col_style)
>>> report.addQuerySet(testobj, REPORT_HORZ, True)

Advanced: change existing styles, set custom styles, adjust column style and width:

>>> report.addSheet("ModifyStyle")
>>> style.set_font(font_color='000000', bold=False, underline=True)
>>> style.set_border(border_color='330099', border_style=6)
>>> style.set_pattern(pattern_color='FFFFFF', pattern=1)
>>> colstyle.set_pattern(pattern_color='FFFF33', pattern=1)
>>> formatter.setWidth('column1_name, column2_name', width=600)
>>> report.addQuerySet(testobj, REPORT_HORZ, True)

To make django.http.HttpResponse out of report and tell the broswer to treat it as an excel attachment:

>>> response = HttpResponse(report.writeReport(), mimetype='application/ms-excel')
>>> response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=foo.xls'
