# 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
