SweetMeSoft.Files

Library for file manipulation.

Description

SweetMeSoft.Files is a library for .NET Standard 2.1 that facilitates reading and writing various file formats, such as CSV, Excel, TXT, XML, HTML and ZIP. It abstracts the complexity of underlying libraries and provides a simple and unified API for working with files.

Features

• CSV: Reading and writing CSV files using CsvHelper.
• Excel: Reading and writing Excel files (.xlsx) with EPPlus and 2003 version (.xls) with NPOI.
• HTML: Reading tables from HTML files using HtmlAgilityPack.
• TXT: Reading and writing plain text files.
• XML: Serialization and deserialization of objects to and from XML format.
• ZIP: File compression and decompression.

Installation

You can install the package through the NuGet Package Manager console:

Install-Package SweetMeSoft.Files

Or via the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package SweetMeSoft.Files

Usage

Below are usage examples for each supported file type.

CSV

Read a CSV file to a list of objects

using SweetMeSoft.Files;
using SweetMeSoft.Base;

// Assumes you have a StreamFile, which is a wrapper with the stream and file metadata.
var streamFile = new StreamFile("path/to/file.csv");
IEnumerable<MyModel> records = await Csv.Read<MyModel>(streamFile);

// You can also use a Stream directly.
using (var stream = File.OpenRead("path/to/file.csv"))
{
 IEnumerable<MyModel> records = await Csv.Read<MyModel>(stream);
}

Create a CSV file from a list of objects

var myList = new List<MyModel> { /* ... your data ... */ };
StreamFile csvFile = await Csv.Create(myList, "new_file.csv");

Excel

Read an Excel file (.xlsx)

var streamFile = new StreamFile("path/to/file.xlsx");
IEnumerable<MyModel> records = Excel.Read<MyModel>(streamFile);

Read an Excel 2003 file (.xls)

var streamFile = new StreamFile("path/to/file.xls");
IEnumerable<MyModel> records = Excel.Read2003File<MyModel>(streamFile);

Generate an Excel file

var myList = new List<MyModel> { /* ... your data ... */ };
StreamFile excelFile = Excel.Generate(myList, "Sheet1", "report.xlsx");

HTML

Read a table from an HTML file

var streamFile = new StreamFile("path/to/file.html");
List<MyModel> records = await Html.ReadTable<MyModel>(streamFile);

TXT

Read lines from a text file

using (var stream = File.OpenRead("path/to/file.txt"))
{
 List<string> lines = await Txt.ReadLines(stream);
}

Generate a text file

var lines = new List<string> { "Line 1", "Line 2" };
StreamFile txtFile = await Txt.Generate(lines, "my_file.txt");

XML

Read (deserialize) from XML

using (var stream = File.OpenRead("path/to/file.xml"))
{
 MyModel myObject = await Xml.Read<MyModel>(stream);
}

Create (serialize) to XML

var myObject = new MyModel { /* ... your data ... */ };
StreamFile xmlFile = Xml.Create(myObject, "my_object.xml");

ZIP

Decompress a ZIP file

using (var stream = File.OpenRead("path/to/file.zip"))
{
 List<StreamFile> uncompressedFiles = await Zip.Uncompress(stream);
}

Compress files into a ZIP

var file1 = new StreamFile(/* ... */);
var file2 = new StreamFile(/* ... */);
StreamFile zipFile = await Zip.Compress("my_file.zip", file1, file2);
