Breaking changes from 3.x.x to 4.x.x #

Renamed Formula to FormulaCellValue
Cells value now represented by the sealed class CellValue instead of dynamic. Subtypes are TextCellValue FormulaCellValue, IntCellValue, DoubleCellValue, DateCellValue, TextCellValue, BoolCellValue, TimeCellValue, DateTimeCellValue and they allow for exhaustive switch (see Dart Docs (sealed class modifier)).

Breaking changes from 2.x.x to 3.x.x #

Renamed getColAutoFits() to getColumnAutoFits(), and changed return type to Map<int, bool> in Sheet
Renamed getColWidths() to getColumnWidths(), and changed return type to Map<int, double> in Sheet
Renamed getColAutoFit() to getColumnAutoFit() in Sheet
Renamed getColWidth() to getColumnWidth() in Sheet
Renamed setColAutoFit() to setColumnAutoFit() in Sheet
Renamed setColWidth() to setColumnWidth() in Sheet

for (var row in excel.tables[table].rows) {
for (var cell in row) {
print('cell ${cell.rowIndex}/${cell.columnIndex}');
final value = cell.value;
final numFormat = cell.cellStyle?.numberFormat ?? NumFormat.standard_0;

fontFamily
eg. getFontFamily(FontFamily.Arial) or getFontFamily(FontFamily.Comic_Sans_MS) There is total 182 Font Families available for now


fontSize
specify the font-size as integer eg. fontSize = 15


bold
makes text bold - when set to true, by-default it is set to false


italic
makes text italic - when set to true, by-default it is set to false


underline
Gives underline to text enum Underline { None, Single, Double } eg. Underline.Single, by-default it is set to Underline.None


fontColorHex
Font Color eg. '#0000FF'


rotation (degree)
rotation of text eg. 50, rotation varies from -90 to 90, with including 90 and -90


backgroundColorHex
Background color of cell eg. '#faf487'


wrap
Text wrapping enum TextWrapping { WrapText, Clip } eg. TextWrapping.Clip


verticalAlign
align text vertically enum VerticalAlign { Top, Center, Bottom } eg. VerticalAlign.Top


horizontalAlign
align text horizontally enum HorizontalAlign { Left, Center, Right } eg. HorizontalAlign.Right


leftBorder
the left border of the cell (see below)


rightBorder
the right border of the cell


topBorder
the top border of the cell


bottomBorder
the bottom border of the cell


diagonalBorder
the diagonal "border" of the cell


diagonalBorderUp
boolean value indicating if the diagonal "border" should be displayed on the up diagonal


diagonalBorderDown
boolean value indicating if the diagonal "border" should be displayed on the down diagonal


numberFormat
a subtype of NumFormat to style the CellValue displayed, use default formats such as NumFormat.standard_34 or create your own using CustomNumericNumFormat('#,##0.00 \\m\\²') CustomDateTimeNumFormat('m/d/yy h:mm') CustomTimeNumFormat('mm:ss')



Borders #
Borders are defined for each side (left, right, top, and bottom) of the cell. Both diagonals (up and down) share the
same settings. A boolean value true must be set to either diagonalBorderUp or diagonalBorderDown (or both) to
display the desired diagonal.
Each border must be a Border object. This object accepts two parameters : borderStyle to select one of the different
supported styles and borderColorHex to change the border color.
The borderStyle must be a value from the enumerationBorderStyle:

BorderStyle.None
BorderStyle.DashDot
BorderStyle.DashDotDot
BorderStyle.Dashed
BorderStyle.Dotted
BorderStyle.Double
BorderStyle.Hair
BorderStyle.Medium
BorderStyle.MediumDashDot
BorderStyle.MediumDashDotDot
BorderStyle.MediumDashed
BorderStyle.SlantDashDot
BorderStyle.Thick
BorderStyle.Thin

/*
*
* Defines thin borders on the left and right of the cell, red thin border on the top
* and blue medium border on the bottom.
*
*/

CellStyle cellStyle = CellStyle(
leftBorder: Border(borderStyle: BorderStyle.Thin),
rightBorder: Border(borderStyle: BorderStyle.Thin),
topBorder: Border(borderStyle: BorderStyle.Thin, borderColorHex: 'FFFF0000'),
bottomBorder: Border(borderStyle: BorderStyle.Medium, borderColorHex: 'FF0000FF'),
