xlsxdocument

============ XLSXDocument

This is a wrapper for openpyxl_ which makes creating XLSX documents with the purpose of exporting data less boring::

from xlsxdocument import XLSXDocument

def xlsx_export(request):
    some_data = Bla.objects.all()

    xlsx = XLSXDocument()
    xlsx.table_from_queryset(Bla.objects.all())
    return xlsx.to_response('bla.xlsx')

Adding in additional cells at the end is also possible::

xlsx = XLSXDocument()
xlsx.table_from_queryset(
    Bla.objects.all(),
    additional=[(
        'Full URL',
        lambda instance: 'http://example.com%s' % (
            instance.get_absolute_url(),
        ),
    )],
)

You can also easily add the facility to export rows to Django's administration interface::

from django.contrib import admin
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _

from xlsxdocument import export_selected

from app import models


class AttendanceAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_filter = ('event',)
    actions = (export_selected,)


admin.site.register(models.Event)
admin.site.register(models.Attendance, AttendanceAdmin)

If you require additional columns with export_selected use this snippet instead::

from xlsxdocument import create_export_selected

class AttendanceAdmin(...):
    actions = [
        create_export_selected(
            additional=[
                # ... see above
            ]
        )
    ]
