How To Use

When using pycgettb, prepare three files. The sample file is ./tests/testfiles/.

Source Data: An xlsx file containing the data.

.. image:: https://github.com/hrsano645/pycgettb/blob/master/docs/img/example_data_img.png?raw=true :alt: source data file image

Source Template: An xlsx file with embedded template variables. Make the same worksheet and cell layout of the source data file.

.. image:: https://github.com/hrsano645/pycgettb/blob/master/docs/img/example_template_img.png?raw=true :alt: source template file image

Export Template: The jinja2 template file (html, json, csv, etc...)

※:The jinja2 template currently supports variables only.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="ja">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>{{ title }}</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>{{ title }}</h1>

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>date</td>
        <td>name</td>
        <td>note</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>{{ date_1 }}</td>
        <td>{{ name_1 }}</td>
        <td>{{ note_1 }}</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>{{ date_2 }}</td>
        <td>{{ name_2 }}</td>
        <td>{{ note_2 }}</td>
    </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Template files(source template, export template) must be the same template variable name. Based on that convert to text data using jinja2.

(env)$ pycgettbcli ./tests/testfiles/template.xlsx ./tests/testfiles/data.xlsx ./tests/testfiles/export_template.html

Converted result. Default file name is exported_data.txt

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="ja">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Example Title</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Example Title</h1>

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>date</td>
        <td>name</td>
        <td>note</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>2017-01-01 00:00:00</td>
        <td>suzuki</td>
        <td>日本語テスト</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>2017-01-02 00:00:00</td>
        <td>sato</td>
        <td>None</td>
    </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Using as a Library

pycgettb can also be used as a library.

from pycgettb import Source
from pycgettb import TextRender

# set file path
src_template = "[source template file path]"
src_data = "[source data file path]"
export_template = "[export template file path]"

# define export filename
export_filename = "exported_file.txt"

source = Source(src_template, src_data)
source_data_map = source.parse()

textrender = TextRender(export_template, source_data_map)

# write rendreing textdata
with open(export_filename, "w") as export_file:
    export_file.write(textrender.render())
