Support the project

================================================================================



If your company has embedded pyexcel and its components into a revenue generating

product, please support me on `patreon `_

or `bounty source `_ to maintain

the project and develop it further.



If you are an individual, you are welcome to support me too and for however long

you feel like. As my backer, you will receive

`early access to pyexcel related contents `_.



And your issues will get prioritized if you would like to become my patreon as `pyexcel pro user`.



With your financial support, I will be able to invest

a little bit more time in coding, documentation and writing interesting posts.



Known constraints

Fonts, colors and charts are not supported.



Introduction

================================================================================

**pyexcel-handsontable** is a rendering plugin to

`pyexcel `_  and renders

`pyexcel.Sheet` and `pyexcel.Book` into a

`handsontable `_ in your web page. As long as you

have a browser, you could view the data. However, please note

that this library does not aim to replace any current excel softwares, such

as Micorsoft Office. But it aims to extends the capability of a

Python user/developer in viewing plain data.



Main features:



#. transform your excel sheets into excel alike html file.

#. embed your excel sheets into your web page.

#. show your data like excel in jupyter notebook (added in 0.0.2).



Here is one liner to use it with pyexcel:



.. code-block:: python



    import pyexcel as p



    p.save_as(file_name='your.xls', dest_file_name='your.handsontable.html')



Alternatively, you can use this library with pyexcel cli module::



    $ pip install pyexcel-cli

    $ pyexcel transcode your.xls your.handsontable.html



Please remember to give this file suffix always: **handsontable.html**. It is because `handsontable.html` triggers this plugin in pyexcel.

.. code-block:: bash



    $ pip install pyexcel-handsontable



or clone it and install it:

    $ cd pyexcel-handsontable

    $ python setup.py install



Development guide

================================================================================



Development steps for code changes



#. git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-handsontable.git

#. cd pyexcel-handsontable



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.



.. note::



    As to rnd_requirements.txt, usually, it is created when a dependent

    library is not released. Once the dependecy is installed

    (will be released), the future

    version of the dependency in the requirements.txt will be valid.



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/moremoban/setupmobans.git # generic setup

#. 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.



Acceptance criteria

-------------------



#. Has Test cases written

#. Has all code lines tested

#. Passes all Travis CI builds

#. Has fair amount of documentation if your change is complex

#. Please update CHANGELOG.rst

#. Please add yourself to CONTRIBUTORS.rst

#. Agree on NEW BSD License for your contribution
