This package enables high-performance Excel writing by integrating with the
streaming API from the golang package
[excelize](https://github.com/qax-os/excelize). Users can leverage this
functionality without the need to write any Go code, as the entire process
can be accomplished through Python.

## Features

- Python and Golang Integration: Seamlessly call Golang built shared
libraries from Python.

- No Golang Code Required: Users can solely rely on Python for Excel file
generation, eliminating the need for Golang expertise.

## Installation

### Install via pip (Recommended)

You can easily install the package via pip

```bash
pip install pyfastexcel
```

### Install manually

If you prefer to build the package manually, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/Zncl2222/pyfastexcel.git
    ```

2. Go to the project root directory:

    ```bash
    cd pyfastexcel
    ```

3. Install the required golang packages:

    ```bash
    go mod download
    ```

4. Build the Golang shared library using the Makefile:

    ```bash
    make
    ```

5. Install the required python packages:

    ```bash
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    ```

    or

    ```bash
    pipenv install
    ```

6. Import the project and start using it!

## Usage

The index assignment is now avaliable in `Workbook` and the `StreamWriter`.
Here is the example usage:

```python
from pyfastexcel import Workbook
from pyfastexcel.utils import set_custom_style

# CustomStyle will be integrate to the pyfatexcel in next version
# Beside, CustomStyle will be re-implement in future to make it no-longer
# depend on openpyxl_style writer and openpyxl
from openpyxl_style_writer import CustomStyle


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Workbook
    wb = Workbook()

    # Set and register CustomStyle
    bold_style = CustomStyle(font_size=15, font_bold=True)
    set_custom_style('bold_style', bold_style)

    ws = wb['Sheet1']
    # Write value with default style
    ws['A1'] = 'A1 value'
    # Write value with custom style
    ws['B1'] = ('B1 value', 'bold_style')

    # Write value in slice with default style
    ws['A2': 'C2'] = [1, 2, 3]
    # Write value in slice with custom style
    ws['A3': 'C3'] = [(1, 'bold_style'), (2, 'bold_style'), (3, 'bold_style')]

    # Write value by row with default style (python index 0 is the index 1 in excel)
    ws[3] = [9, 8, 'go']
    # Write value by row with custom style
    ws[4] = [(9, 'bold_style'), (8, 'bold_style'), ('go', 'bold_style')]

    # Send request to golang lib and create excel
    wb.read_lib_and_create_excel()

    # File path to save
    file_path = 'pyexample_workbook.xlsx'
    wb.save(file_path)

```

You can also using the `StreamWriter` which was the
subclass of `Workbook` to write excel row by row, see more in [StreamWriter](https://pyfastexcel.readthedocs.io/en/stable/writer/).

## Documentation

- [Latest Stable Version](https://pyfastexcel.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)

## Benchmark

The following result displays the performance comparison between
`pyfastexcel` and `openpyxl` for writing 50000 rows with 30
columns (Total 1500000 cells). To see more benchmark results, please

## How it Works

The core functionality revolves around encoding Excel cell data and styles,
or any other Excel properties, into a JSON string within Python. This JSON
payload is then passed through ctypes to a Golang shared library. In Golang,
the JSON is parsed, and using the streaming writer of
[excelize](https://github.com/qax-os/excelize) to wrtie excel in
high performance.

## Current Limitations & Future Plans

### Problem 1: Dependence on Other Excel Package

Limitations:

This project currently depends on the `CustomStyle` object of
the [openpyxl_style_writer](https://github.com/Zncl2222/openpyxl_style_writer)
package, which is built for openpyxl to write styles in write-only
mode more efficiently without duplicating code.

Future Plans:

This project plans to create its own `Style` object, making it no longer
dependent on the mentioned package.
