# vbaProject-Compiler
Create a vbaProject.bin file from VBA source files.
## VBAProject Class
The vbaProject class contains all the data and metadata that will be used to create the OLE container.
```python
from vbaProjectCompiler.vbaProject import VbaProject
from vbaProjectCompiler.ole_file import OleFile
project = VbaProject()
thisWorkbook = DocModule("ThisWorkbook")
thisWorkbook.addFile(path)
project.addModule(thisWorkbook)
ole_file = OleFile(project)
ole_file.writeFile(".")
```
The VbaProject class has many layers of customization available. Forexample a librry referenece can be added to the project.
```python
codePage = 0x04E4
codePageName = "cp" + str(codePage)
libidRef = LibidReference(
"windows",
"{00020430-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}",
"2.0",
"0",
"C:\\Windows\\System32\\stdole2.tlb",
"OLE Automation"
)
oleReference = ReferenceRecord(codePageName, "stdole", libidRef)
project.addReference(oleReference)
```
## oleFile Class
Users should not have to interact with the oleFile class. It's job is to extract the data from the vbaProject and turn it into a valid file. This includes deciding which data stream appears where, and applying different views to the models to save the data in the correct formats.
The oleFIle has two parts, a header and a FAT Sector Chain. This FAT chain stores multiple streams of data:
* Fat Chain Stream
* Directory Stream
* Minifat Chain Stream
* Minifat Data Stream
* Fat Data Stream
These are all different views of data from the following Models
* fatChain
* minifatChain
* directoryStream
