NAME

Spreadsheet::Reader::ExcelXML::XMLReader::WorksheetToRow - Builds row objects from worksheet files

SYNOPSIS

See t\Spreadsheet\Reader\ExcelXML\09-worksheet_to_row.t

DESCRIPTION

This documentation is written to explain ways to use this module when writing your own excel parser. To use the general package for excel parsing out of the box please review the documentation for Workbooks, Worksheets, and Cells

This module provides the generic connection to individual worksheet files (not chartsheets) for parsing xlsx(and xml) workbooks. It does not provide a way to connect to chartsheets . It does not provide the final view of a given cell. The final view of the cell is collated with the role (Interface) Spreadsheet::Reader::ExcelXML::Worksheet. This reader extends the base reader class Spreadsheet::Reader::ExcelXML::XMLReader. This module also uses a file type interpreter. The functionality provided by those modules is not explained here.

For now this module reads each full row (with values) into a Spreadsheet::Reader::ExcelXML::Row instance. It stores either the currently read row or all rows based on the "cache_positions" in Spreadsheet::Reader::ExcelXML setting for Worksheet_instance. When a position past the end of the sheet is called the current row is cleared and an 'EOF' or undef value is returned. See "file_boundary_flags" in Spreadsheet::Reader::ExcelXML for more details.

All positions (row and column places and integers) at this level are stored and returned in count from one mode!

To replace this part in the package look in the raw code of Spreadsheet::Reader::ExcelXML::Workbook and adjust the 'worksheet_interface' key of the $parser_modules variable.

requires

This module is a role and as such only adds incremental methods and attributes to some base class. In order to use this role some base object methods are required. The requirments are listed below with links to the default provider.

Attributes

Data passed to new when creating an instance. For access to the values in these attributes see the listed 'attribute methods'. For general information on attributes see Moose::Manual::Attributes. For ways to manage the instance when opened see the Methods.

cache_positions

    Definition: This is a boolean value which controls whether the parser caches rows that have been parsed or just stores the top level hash. In general this should repsond to the top level attribute "cache_positions" in Spreadsheet::Reader::ExcelXML

    Default: 1 = caching on

    Range: (1|0)

    attribute methods Methods provided to adjust this attribute

      should_cache_positions

        Definition: return the attribute value

Methods

These are the methods provided by this class for use within the package but are not intended to be used by the end user. Other private methods not listed here are used in the module but not used by the package. If the private method is listed here then replacement of this module either requires replacing them or rewriting all the associated connecting roles and classes.

has_new_row_inst

    Definition: Generally in the processing of a worksheet file there will be a currently active row. This row is stored as an object so elements of the row can be retrieved via delegation

    Accepts: nothing

    Returns: (1|0) depending on the presence of a currently stored row

get_new_row_number

    Definition: This returns the row number (in count from 1 mode) for the currently stored row.

    Accepts: nothing

    Returns: an integer $row

get_new_column( $column )

    Definition: This returns the column data for the selected $column. If the request is for a column with no data then it returns undef. If the column is requested pased the last column with data but before the end of the span it returns 'EOD'. If the request is for a column past the end of the span it returns 'EOF'. THe request and return are all handled in count from 1 context.

    Accepts: an integer $column number

    Returns: The cell contents for that column (or undef, 'EOD', or 'EOF')

get_new_next_value

    Definition: like get_new_column this will return one cell. However, this method will only return cells with content or 'EOR'. The role keeps track of which one was called last even it it was through get_new_column.

    Accepts: nothing

    Returns: the cell contents or 'EOR'

get_new_row_all

    Definition: This is returns an array ref of each of the values in the current row placed in their 'count from 0' position.

    Accepts: nothing

    Returns: an array ref

go_to_or_past_row( $row )

    Definition: This will attempt to advance to the row provided by $row. It will continue to advance past that row until it arrives at a row with values or the end of the file.

    Accepts: $row (integer in count from 1 context)

    Returns: The actual row number that was arrived at (in count from 1 context)
