### Introduction

MiniExcel is simple and efficient to avoid OOM's .NET processing Excel tool.

At present, most popular frameworks need to load all the data into the memory to facilitate operation, but it will cause memory consumption problems. MiniExcel tries to use algorithm from a stream to reduce the original 1000 MB occupation to a few MB to avoid OOM(out of memory).

### Features
- Low memory consumption, avoid OOM (out of memory) and full GC
- Support `real-time` operation of each row of data

### Execute a query and map the results to a strongly typed IEnumerable [[Try it]](https://dotnetfiddle.net/w5WD1J)

Recommand to use Stream.Query because of better efficiency.

```C#
public class UserAccount
{
    public Guid ID { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public DateTime BoD { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public bool VIP { get; set; }
    public decimal Points { get; set; }
}

var rows = MiniExcel.Query<UserAccount>(path);

// or

using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))
    var rows = stream.Query<UserAccount>();
```

### Execute a query and map it to a list of dynamic objects without using head [[Try it]](https://dotnetfiddle.net/w5WD1J)

* dynamic key is `A.B.C.D..`

| MiniExcel     | 1     |
| -------- | -------- |
| Github     | 2     |

```C#

var rows = MiniExcel.Query(path).ToList();

// or 
using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))
{
    var rows = stream.Query().ToList();
                
    Assert.Equal("MiniExcel", rows[0].A);
    Assert.Equal(1, rows[0].B);
    Assert.Equal("Github", rows[1].A);
    Assert.Equal(2, rows[1].B);
}
```

### Execute a query with first header row [[Try it]](https://dotnetfiddle.net/w5WD1J)

note : same column name use last right one 

Input Excel :  

| Column1 | Column2 |
| -------- | -------- |
| MiniExcel     | 1     |
| Github     | 2     |


```C#

var rows = MiniExcel.Query(useHeaderRow:true).ToList();

// or

using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))
{
    var rows = stream.Query(useHeaderRow:true).ToList();

    Assert.Equal("MiniExcel", rows[0].Column1);
    Assert.Equal(1, rows[0].Column2);
    Assert.Equal("Github", rows[1].Column1);
    Assert.Equal(2, rows[1].Column2);
}
```

### Query Support LINQ Extension First/Take/Skip ...etc

Query First
```C#
var row = MiniExcel.Query(path).First();
Assert.Equal("HelloWorld", row.A);

// or

using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))
{
    var row = stream.Query().First();
    Assert.Equal("HelloWorld", row.A);
}
```

### Create Excel file [[Try it]](https://dotnetfiddle.net/w5WD1J)

1. Must be a non-abstract type with a public parameterless constructor .

2. MiniExcel support parameter IEnumerable Deferred Execution, If you want to use least memory, please do not call methods such as ToList

e.g : ToList or not memory usage  
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/12729184/112587389-752b0b00-8e38-11eb-8a52-cfb76c57e5eb.png)



Anonymous or strongly type: 
```C#
var path = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), $"{Guid.NewGuid()}.xlsx");
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, new[] {
    new { Column1 = "MiniExcel", Column2 = 1 },
    new { Column1 = "Github", Column2 = 2}
});
```

Datatable:  
```C#
var path = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), $"{Guid.NewGuid()}.xlsx");
var table = new DataTable();
{
    table.Columns.Add("Column1", typeof(string));
    table.Columns.Add("Column2", typeof(decimal));
    table.Rows.Add("MiniExcel", 1);
    table.Rows.Add("Github", 2);
}

MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, table);
```

Dapper:  
```C#
using (var connection = GetConnection(connectionString))
{
    var rows = connection.Query(@"select 'MiniExcel' as Column1,1 as Column2 union all select 'Github',2");
    MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, rows);
}
```

`IEnumerable<IDictionary<string, object>>`
```C#
var values = new List<Dictionary<string, object>>()
{
    new Dictionary<string,object>{{ "Column1", "MiniExcel" }, { "Column2", 1 } },
    new Dictionary<string,object>{{ "Column1", "Github" }, { "Column2", 2 } }
};
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, values);
```

Create File Result : 

| Column1 | Column2 |
| -------- | -------- |
| MiniExcel     | 1     |
| Github     | 2     |

### SaveAs Stream [[Try it]](https://dotnetfiddle.net/JOen0e)

```C#
using (var stream = File.Create(path))
{
    stream.SaveAs(values);
}
```



### Excel Column Name/Ignore Attribute

e.g

input excel :  

| Test1 | Test2 | Test3 | Test4 | Test5 | Test6 | Column1 | Column2 |
| ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- | ------- | ------- |
| Test1 | Test2 | Test3 | Test4 | Test5 | Test6 | Column1 | Column2 |

```C#
public class ExcelAttributeDemo
{
    [ExcelColumnName("Column1")]
    public string Test1 { get; set; }
    [ExcelColumnName("Column2")]
    public string Test2 { get; set; }
    [ExcelIgnore]
    public string Test3 { get; set; }
    public string Test4 { get; set; }
    public string Test5 { get; }
    public string Test6 { get; private set; }
}

var rows = MiniExcel.Query<ExcelAttributeDemo>(path).ToList();
Assert.Equal("Column1", rows[0].Test1);
Assert.Equal("Column2", rows[0].Test2);
Assert.Null(rows[0].Test3);
Assert.Equal("Test4", rows[0].Test4);
Assert.Null(rows[0].Test5);
Assert.Null(rows[0].Test6);
```



### SQLite & Dapper `Large Size File` SQL Insert Avoid OOM

note : please don't call ToList/ToArray methods after Query, it'll load all data into memory

```C#
using (var connection = new SQLiteConnection(connectionString))
{
    connection.Open();
    using (var transaction = connection.BeginTransaction())
    using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))
    {
	   var rows = stream.Query();
	   foreach (var row in rows)
			 connection.Execute("insert into T (A,B) values (@A,@B)", new { row.A, row.B }, transaction: transaction);
	   transaction.Commit();
    }
}
```

performance:

### ASP.NET Core 3.1 or MVC 5 Download Excel Xlsx API Demo

```C#
public class ExcelController : Controller
{
    public IActionResult Download()
    {
        var values = new[] {
            new { Column1 = "MiniExcel", Column2 = 1 },
            new { Column1 = "Github", Column2 = 2}
        };
        var stream = new MemoryStream();
        stream.SaveAs(values);
        return File(stream,
            "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",
            "demo.xlsx");
    }
}
```

### Excel Type Auto Check

Default system will auto check file path or stream is from xlsx or csv, but if you need to specify type, it can use excelType parameter.
```C#
stream.SaveAs(excelType:ExcelType.CSV);
//or
stream.SaveAs(excelType:ExcelType.XLSX);
//or
stream.Query(excelType:ExcelType.CSV);
//or
stream.Query(excelType:ExcelType.XLSX);
```



### Dynamic Query cast row to `IDictionary<string,object>` 

```C#
foreach(IDictionary<string,object> row = MiniExcel.Query(path))
{
    //..
}
```



### Limitations and caveats 

- Not support xls and encrypted file now
