package Spreadsheet::Template; use Moose; # ABSTRACT: generate spreadsheets from a template use Class::Load 'load_class'; use JSON; =head1 SYNOPSIS use Spreadsheet::Template; my $template = Spreadsheet::Template->new; my $in = do { local $/; <> }; my $out = $template->render($in); open my $fh, '>', 'out.xlsx'; binmode $fh; $fh->print($out); $fh->close; =head1 DESCRIPTION This module is used to render spreadsheets from JSON files which describe the desired content and formatting. These JSON files can be preprocessed with a template engine such as L in order to customize the spreadsheet contents before generation, in a similar way to how HTML pages can be rendered with templates. The typical workflow for using this module is to create a sample spreadsheet in Excel with the desired layout and formatting, and use L (or the included C script) to generate a base template. That base template can then be edited to add in template declarations, and then this module can be used to generate new spreadsheets based on the template. =head1 DATA FORMAT The intermediate data format that should be produced after the template has been preprocessed is a JSON file, with a structure that looks like this: { "selection" : 0, "worksheets" : [ { "column_widths" : [ 10, 10, 10 ], "name" : "Sheet1", "row_heights" : [ 18, 18, 18 ], "selection" : [ 0, 0 ], "autofilter" : [ [ [0, 0], [0, 2] ] ], "cells" : [ [ { "contents" : "This is cell A1", "format" : { "color" : "#000000", "size" : 14, "text_wrap" : true, "valign" : "vcenter" }, "type" : "string" }, { "contents" : "3.25", "format" : { "color" : "#000000", "num_format" : "\"$\"#,##0.00_);[Red]\\(\"$\"#,##0.00\\)", "size" : 14 }, "type" : "number" } ], [ { "contents" : "2013-03-20T00:00:00", "format" : { "color" : "#000000", "align" : "center", "num_format" : "d-mmm", "size" : 14, "border_color" : [ "#000000", "#000000", "#000000", "#000000" ], "border" : [ "thin", "thin", "thin", "thin" ] }, "type" : "date_time" }, { "contents" : "3.25", "formula" : "SUM(B1:B1)", "format" : { "bg_color" : "#d8d8d8", "bold" : true, "color" : "#000000", "num_format" : "\"$\"#,##0.00_);[Red]\\(\"$\"#,##0.00\\)", "pattern" : "solid", "size" : 14 }, "type" : "string" } ] ], "merge" : [ { "range" : [ [1, 0], [1, 2] ], "contents" : "Merged Contents", "format" : { "color" : "#000000" }, "type" : "string" } ] } ] } =head2 workbook The entire JSON document describes a workbook to be produced. The document should be a JSON object with these keys: =over 4 =item selection The (zero-based) index of the worksheet to be initially selected when the spreadsheet is opened. =item worksheets An array of worksheet objects. =back =head2 worksheet Each element of the C array in the workbook object should be a JSON object with these keys: =over 4 =item name The name of the worksheet. =item column_widths An array of numbers corresponding to the widths of the columns in the spreadsheet. =item row_heights An array of numbers corresponding to the heights of the rows in the spreadsheet. =item selection An array of two numbers corresponding to the (zero-based) row and column of the cell that should be selected when the worksheet is first displayed. =item autofilter Enables autofilter behavior for each range of cells listed. Cell ranges are specified by an array of two arrays of two numbers, corresponding to the row and column of the top left and bottom right cell of the autofiltered range. =item cells An array of arrays of cell objects. Each innermost array represents a row, containing all of the cell data for that row. =item merge An array of merge objects. Merge objects are identical to cell objects, except that they contain an additional C key, which has a value of an array of two arrays of two numbers, corresponding to the row and column of the top left and bottom right cell of the range to be merged. =back =head2 cell Each element of the two-dimensional C array in a worksheet object should be a JSON object with these keys: =over 4 =item contents The unformatted contents of the cell. For cells with a C of C, this should be a string, for cells with a C of C, this should be a number, and for cells with a C of C, this should be a string containing the ISO8601 representation of the date and time. =item format The format object describing how the cell's contents should be formatted. =item type The type of the data in the cell. Can be either C, C, or C. =item formula The formula used to calculate the cell contents. This field is optional. If you want the generated spreadsheet to be able to be read by programs other than full spreadsheet applications (such as by L, then you should ensure that you include an accurate value for C as well, since most simple spreadsheet parsers don't include a full formula calculation engine. =back =head2 format Each cell object contains a C key whose value should be a JSON object with these (all optional) keys: =over 4 =item size The font size for the cell contents. =item color The font color for the cell contents. =item bold True if the cell contents are bold. =item italic True if the cell contents are italic. =item pattern The background pattern for the cell. Can have any of these values (with C being the default if nothing is specified): none solid medium_gray dark_gray light_gray dark_horizontal dark_vertical dark_down dark_up dark_grid dark_trellis light_horizontal light_vertical light_down light_up light_grid light_trellis gray_125 gray_0625 =item bg_color The background color for the cell. Only has meaning if a C other than C is chosen. =item fg_color The foreground color for the cell. Only has meaning if a C other than C or C is chosen. =item border The border style for the cell. This should be an array with four elements, corresponding to the left, right, top, and bottom borders. Each element can have any of these values (with C being the default if nothing is specified): none thin medium dashed dotted thick double hair medium_dashed dash_dot medium_dash_dot dash_dot_dot medium_dash_dot_dot slant_dash_dot =item border_color The border color for the cell. This should be an array with four elements, corresponding to the left, right, top, and bottom borders. =item align The horizontal alignment for the cell contents. Can have any of these values, with C being the default: none left center right fill justify center_across =item valign The vertical alignment for the cell contents. Can have any of these values, with C being the default: top vcenter bottom vjustify =item text_wrap True if the contents of the cell should be text-wrapped. =item num_format The numeric format for the cell. Only meaningful if the cell's type is C or C. This is the string representation of the format as understood by Excel itself. =back =cut =attr processor_class Name of the L class to use to preprocess the template. Defaults to L. =cut has processor_class => ( is => 'ro', isa => 'Str', default => 'Spreadsheet::Template::Processor::Xslate', ); =attr processor_options Arguments to pass to the C constructor. =cut has processor_options => ( is => 'ro', isa => 'HashRef', default => sub { {} }, ); =attr writer_class Name of the L class to use to preprocess the template. Defaults to L. =cut has writer_class => ( is => 'ro', isa => 'Str', default => 'Spreadsheet::Template::Writer::XLSX', ); =attr writer_options Arguments to pass to the C constructor. =cut has writer_options => ( is => 'ro', isa => 'HashRef', default => sub { {} }, ); has _processor => ( is => 'ro', does => 'Spreadsheet::Template::Processor', lazy => 1, default => sub { my $self = shift; my $class = $self->processor_class; load_class($class); return $class->new($self->processor_options); }, ); =attr json Instance of a JSON class that will handle decoding. Defaults to an instance of L. Passing in a JSON obj with ->relaxed(1) set will allow for trailing commas in your templates. =cut has json => ( is => 'ro', default => sub { return JSON->new; } ); sub _writer { my $self = shift; my $class = $self->writer_class; load_class($class); return $class->new($self->writer_options); } =method render($template, $vars) Calls C on the L instance with C<$template> and C<$vars> as arguments, decodes the result as JSON, and returns the result of passing that data to the C method of the L instance. =cut sub render { my $self = shift; my ($template, $vars) = @_; my $contents = $self->_processor->process($template, $vars); # not decode_json, since we expect that we are already being handed a # character string (decode_json also decodes utf8) my $data = $self->json->decode($contents); return $self->_writer->write($data); } __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; no Moose; =head1 BUGS =over 4 =item * Default values aren't handled properly - spreadsheets can set defaults for things like font sizes, but this isn't actually handled, so cells that are supposed to use the default may get an incorrect value. =back Please report any bugs to GitHub Issues at L. =head1 SEE ALSO L =head1 SUPPORT You can find this documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Spreadsheet::Template You can also look for information at: =over 4 =item * MetaCPAN L =item * Github L =item * RT: CPAN's request tracker L =item * CPAN Ratings L =back =head1 SPONSORS Parts of this code were paid for by =over 4 =item Socialflow L =back =cut 1;
