USAGE
-----
### Import & Export
Simpliy read an Excel file then output to browser:
```php
\yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper::newSpreadsheet('/tmp/excel.xlsx')
->addRow(['Modified A1'])
->output();
```
#### newSpreadsheet()
New or load an PhpSpreadsheet object
```php
public static array newSpreadsheet(object|string $spreadSheet=null)
```
#### output()
Output file to browser
```php
public static void output(string $filename='excel', string $format='Xlsx')
```
*`$format` list: `Xlsx`, `Xls`, `Html`, `Csv`, `Ods`*
#### save()
Save as file
```php
public static string save(string $filename='excel', string $format='Xlsx')
```
*Example:*
```php
\yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper::newSpreadsheet()
->addRow(['Add A1'])
->save("/tmp/save");
// /tmp/save.xlsx
```
### Get Rows
#### getRow()
Get data of a row from the actived sheet of PhpSpreadsheet
```php
public static array getRow(boolean $toString=true, array $options=[], callable $callback=null)
```
*Example:*
```php
use \yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper;
$row1 = Helper::newSpreadsheet($filepath)
->getRow();
$row2 = Helper::getRow();
print_r($row1);
print_r($row2);
```
*Example of fetching content per each row ([Example Code](https://github.com/yidas/phpspreadsheet-helper/blob/master/demo/get-row-loop.php)):*
```php
$helper = \yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper::newSpreadsheet($filepath);
while ($row = $helper->getRow()) {
// Each row data process
}
```
#### getRows()
Get rows from the actived sheet of PhpSpreadsheet
```php
public static array getRows(boolean $toString=true, array $options=[], callable $callback=null)
```
*[Example of getRows()](#read-from-excel)*
### Add Rows
#### addRow()
Add a row to the actived sheet of PhpSpreadsheet
```php
public static self addRow(array $rowData, array $rowAttributes=null)
```
*`$rowData` value: An array contains string or [array of attributes](#attributes) for each cell*
*`$rowAttributes` value: string or [array of attributes](#attributes) for each cell of a row*
*[Example of addRow()](#write-to-excel)*
*Example of setting attributes for each cell:*
```php
\yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper::newSpreadsheet()
->addRow([['value'=>'ID'], ['value'=>'Name'], ['value'=>'Email']])
->addRow(['ID', 'Name', 'Email']);
```
*Example of setting attributes for each row:*
```php
\yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper::newSpreadsheet()
// Set width as 25 to all cells of this row
->addRow([['value'=>'ID'], ['value'=>'Name'], ['value'=>'Email']], ['width'=>25]);
```
#### addRows()
Add rows to the actived sheet of PhpSpreadsheet
```php
public static self addRows(array $data, array $rowAttributes=null)
```
*`$data` value: array of each $rowData from `addRow()`*
*`$rowAttributes` value: string or [array of attributes](#attributes) for each row*
*[Example of addRows()](#write-to-excel)*
#### Attributes
Attributes is a standard array for defining a cell or even a row, the keys are as follows:
`key`, `value`, [`col`](#merge-cells), [`row`](#merge-cells), [`skip`](#merge-cells), [`width`](#columns-format), [`style`](#style-attribute)
### PhpSpreadsheet Original Usage Integration
This helper is flexible that you could inject or extract original PhpSpreadsheet with it, when you need to manipulate some Phpspreadsheet methods integrated with Helper.
#### Inject PhpSpreadsheet
```php
// Get a new PhpSpreadsheet object
$objSpreadsheet = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet;
$objSpreadsheet->getProperties()
->setCreator("Nick Tsai")
->setTitle("Office 2007 XLSX Document");
// Get the actived sheet object from PhpSpreadsheet
$objSheet = $objSpreadsheet->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$objSheet->setTitle('Sheet');
$objSheet->setCellValue('A1', 'SN');
// Inject PhpSpreadsheet Object and Sheet Object to Helper
\yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper::newSpreadsheet($objSpreadsheet)
->setSheet($objSheet)
->setRowOffset(1) // Point to 1nd row from 0
->addRows([
['1'],
['2'],
])
->output();
```
#### Extract PhpSpreadsheet
```php
use \yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper;
Helper::newSpreadsheet()
->setSheet(0, 'Sheet')
->addRow(['SN']);
// Get the PhpSpreadsheet object created by Helper
$objSpreadsheet = Helper::getSpreadsheet();
$objSpreadsheet->getProperties()
->setCreator("Nick Tsai")
->setTitle("Office 2007 XLSX Document");
// Get the actived sheet object created by Helper
$objSheet = Helper::getSheet();
$objSheet->setCellValue('A2', '1');
$objSheet->setCellValue('A3', '2');
Helper::output();
```
### Merge Cells
It's easy to merge cells by defining each cell's span attributes:
- `row` : Number of rowspan cells to merge with
- `col` : Number of colspan cells to merge with
- `skip` : Number of colspan cells to merge with
```php
\yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper::newSpreadsheet()
->addRows([
[['value'=>'SN', 'row'=>2], ['value'=>'Language', 'col'=>2], ['value'=>'Block', 'row'=>2, 'col'=>2]],
['','English','繁體中文',['skip'=>2]],
])
->addRows([
['1', 'Computer','電腦','#15'],
['2', 'Phone','手機','#4','#62'],
])
->output('Merged Excel');
```
### Multiple Sheets
#### setSheet()
Set an active PhpSpreadsheet Sheet
```php
public static self setSheet($sheet=0, $title=NULL, $normalizeTitle=false)
```
#### getSheet()
Get PhpSpreadsheet Sheet object from cache
```php
public static object getSheet($identity=null, $autoCreate=false)
```
*Example:*
```php
use \yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper;
Helper::newSpreadsheet()
->setSheet(0, 'First Sheet')
->addRow(['Sheet Index', 'Sheet Count'])
->addRows([
[Helper::getActiveSheetIndex(), Helper::getSheetCount()],
]);
// Set another sheet object without giving index
Helper::setSheet(null, '2nd Sheet')
->addRow(['Sheet Index', 'Sheet Count'])
->addRows([
[Helper::getActiveSheetIndex(), Helper::getSheetCount()],
]);
// Get a sheet which does not exsit with auto creating it
$obj = Helper::getSheet('3nd Sheet', true);
// Set a sheet with the title which has been auto-normalized
Helper::setSheet(null, '*This [sheet] name has been auto-nomalizing', true)
->addRow(['Sheet Index', 'Sheet Count'])
->addRows([
[Helper::getActiveSheetIndex(), Helper::getSheetCount()],
]);
Helper::output('MultiSheets');
```
* `getActiveSheetIndex()`: Get active sheet index
* `getSheetCount()`: Get sheet count
### Map of Coordinates & Ranges
```php
use \yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper;
Helper::newSpreadsheet()
->addRows([
[
['value'=>'SN', 'row'=>2, 'key'=>'sn'],
['value'=>'Language', 'col'=>2, 'key'=>'lang'],
['value'=>'Block', 'row'=>2, 'col'=>2, 'key'=>'block'],
],
[
'',
['value'=>'English', 'key'=>'lang-en'],
['value'=>'繁體中文', 'key'=>'lang-zh'],
['skip'=>2, 'key'=>'block-skip'],
],
])
->addRows([
['1', 'Computer','電腦','#15'],
['2', 'Phone','手機','#4','#62'],
]);
// ->output('Merged Excel');
print_r(Helper::getCoordinateMap());
print_r(Helper::getRangeMap());
// print_r(Helper::getColumnMap());
// print_r(Helper::getRowMap());
echo "sn start cell: ". Helper::getCoordinateMap('sn');
echo "\nsn start column: ". Helper::getColumnMap('sn');
echo "\nsn start row: ". Helper::getRowMap('sn');
echo "\nsn range: ". Helper::getRangeMap('sn');
echo "\nAll range: ". Helper::getRangeAll();
```
The result could be:
```
Array
(
[sn] => A1
[lang] => B1
[block] => D1
[lang-en] => B2
[lang-zh] => C2
[block-skip] => D2
)
Array
(
[sn] => A1:A2
[lang] => B1:C1
[block] => D1:E2
[lang-en] => B2:B2
[lang-zh] => C2:C2
[block-skip] => D2:E2
)
sn start cell: A1
sn start column: A
sn start row: 1
sn range: A1:A2
All range: A1:E4
```
### Style Attributes
The style attribute could be set on a [single cell](#addrow), a [single row](#addrow) or even a [range of cells](#setstyle).
* `style`: a attribute refers to `applyFromArray()` for styling
```php
\yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper::newSpreadsheet()
// Each cell with each style attributes
->addRow([
'Percentage',
'10%',
['value'=>'content', 'style'=> [
'font' => [
'bold' => true,
'color' => ['argb' => 'FFFF0000']
],
'alignment' => ['horizontal' => 'right'],
'borders' => [
'top' => ['borderStyle' => 'thin'],
],
'fill' => [
'fillType' => 'linear',
'rotation' => 90,
'startColor' => ['argb' => 'FFA0A0A0'],
'endColor' => ['argb' => 'FFFFFFFF'],
],
]],
['value'=>'10000', 'style'=> [
'numberFormat' => [
'formatCode' => '#,##0',
],
]],
])
// Row with thousands separator format style
->addRow(['1000', '2000', '3000', '4000'], ['style' => [
'numberFormat' => [
// const FORMAT_NUMBER_COMMA_SEPARATED1 = '#,##0.00';
'formatCode' => \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Style\NumberFormat::FORMAT_NUMBER_COMMA_SEPARATED1,
],
]])
// Row with percentage format style
->addRow(['0.1', '0.15', '0.3145', '0.855'], ['style' => [
'numberFormat' => [
// const FORMAT_PERCENTAGE_00 = '0.00%';
'formatCode' => \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Style\NumberFormat::FORMAT_PERCENTAGE_00,
],
]])
->output();
```
> Style array key/value/constant refers [Valid array keys for style `applyFromArray()`](https://phpspreadsheet.readthedocs.io/en/develop/topics/recipes/#valid-array-keys-for-style-applyfromarray) or [Source Classes](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/tree/master/src/PhpSpreadsheet/Style)
### Columns Format
The options for each cell data:
* `width`: setWidth() for the column
```php
\yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper::newSpreadsheet()
->addRow([['value'=>'ID', 'width'=>10], ['value'=>'Name', 'width'=>25], ['value'=>'Email', 'width'=>50]])
->addRows([
['1', 'Nick','[email protected]'],
['2', 'Eric','eric@.....'],
])
->output('My Excel');
```
### All Cells Format
This section focuses on applying all actived cells or ranged cells on the sheet, not just effecting single cell, row or column.
#### setStyle()
Set Style for all actived cells or set by giving range to the actived sheet
```php
public static self setStyle(array $styleArray, string $range=NULL)
```
*Example:*
```php
\yidas\phpSpreadsheet\Helper::newSpreadsheet()
->addRow(['Title', 'Content'])
->addRows([
['Basic Plan', "*Interface\n*Search Tool"],
['Advanced Plan', "*Interface\n*Search Tool\n*Statistics"],
])
->setWrapText()
// ->setWrapText('B2')
->setAutoSize()
// ->setAutoSize('B')
->setStyle([
'borders' => [
'inside' => ['borderStyle' => 'hair'],
'outline' => ['borderStyle' => 'thin'],
],
'fill' => [
'fillType' => 'solid',
'startColor' => ['argb' => 'FFCCCCCC'],
],
])
->output('Formatted Excel');
```
#### setWrapText()
Set WrapText for all actived cells or set by giving range to the actived sheet
```php
public static self setWrapText(string $range=NULL, string $value=true)
```
#### setAutoSize()
Set AutoSize for all actived cells or set by giving column range to the actived sheet
```php
public static self setAutoSize(string $colAlphaStart=NULL, string $colAlphaEnd=NULL, boolean $value=true)
```

LIMITATIONS
-----------
### Performance Issue
If you're building large cell data with XLSX, you may face performance issue with memory usage and execution time.
[box/spout](https://github.com/box/spout) spreadsheet lirary supports building Excel file with high performance, you could use this library instead if you do not need more style and formatting requirements.
