Exporting an Excel file with WebAPI, VueJS, EPPlus - excel

I need to export an excel file that is comprised of formulas, formatted, etc. It's not just a table of data. I.e., top portion will be descriptions/calculations, and then the lower half will loop through a list of items. Adding this bc I need more functionality than vue-json-excel or vue-json-export offer (I think)
I know how to do this with webforms/code-behind, but I've been dabbling with VueJS and MVC and am trying to figure out how to get this done with that. I am using EPPlus.
From VueJS, I'm calling a webapi that hits my "reports" controller. For now, I'm just trying to see if I can actually export an Excel file from code-behind.
Right now, when I attempt to export a dummy file... nothing happens? There aren't any errors, but there is no prompt that says "Download file or Open" (or whatever).
public class ReportController : ApiController
{
public HttpResponseMessage Get(string aliases, string startDate, string endDate, string level)
{
//attempting to just export a dummy excel - not working :(
MediaTypeHeaderValue mediaType = MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/octet-stream");
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(Resources.AbsenceReport);
HttpResponseMessage response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
response.Content = new StreamContent(memoryStream);
response.Content.Headers.ContentType = mediaType;
response.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition =
new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("fileName") { FileName = "Test.xlsx" };
return response;
}
}
Am I missing something? In my Vue portion, I just have:
AR.getTeamReport(aliasesToSearch, startDate, endDate, level)
.then(response => {
//IDK MAN WILL IT WORK :X
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
this.sentToastError(
"Unable to pull report. Please refresh and try again."
);
});

Embedding Excel Add-Ins with OpenXml

My team is working on an Office 365 add-in for Excel, and as part of the project, we’re creating Excel documents through the GraphAPI with the end goal of having the add-in already setup for the document. We’re using the .NET OpenXml library to create the document before copying it through the GraphAPI.
We haven’t been able to find many resources for how to setup an add-in through OpenXml and have not been able to get anything working. The last thing we tried was copying the example we found here, but we couldn’t get it working. Does anyone know how to setup add-ins using the OpenXml library?
Note: the add-in is already in the Office Add-Ins store, and we have information like the AppSource ID.
Thank you!
We're actually about to publish a new sample around this scenario. The sample shows how to create an Excel document using OOXML, embed your add-in, and then upload the file to OneDrive. It also creates a Team chat that links to the file.
You can try out the sample here: Open data from your web site in a spreadsheet in Microsoft Teams
Or give us feedback on the PR: https://github.com/OfficeDev/PnP-OfficeAddins/pull/197
To answer your question about how to embed the add-in, you need to create a web extension section. I've copied the relevant code here. Note this is the same code from the Office-OOXML-EmbedAddin sample you already looked at. We reused it for the new sample. You can change the CUSTOM MODIFICATION section to provide any custom properties you want to your add-in when it opens.

spreadsheet.DeletePart(spreadsheet.WebExTaskpanesPart);

Docusign REST API: Downloading document to string

I am building an app using the docusign API and PHP. I have most of this working except I cannot figure out how to download the document. I have been searching on this site and on the Docusign site. Docusign has an example here, that shows how to get a list of docs in PHP, but the downloading does not have a PHP example. In the Docusign REST API docs they explain the method here. But this says the response is "PDF File".
In my sample code below, I have tried to put the contents into a file, but it creates and empty file. If I print_r($data), I get this:
SplFileObject Object
(
[pathName:SplFileInfo:private] => /tmp/419ULk
[fileName:SplFileInfo:private] => 419ULk
[openMode:SplFileObject:private] => w
[delimiter:SplFileObject:private] => ,
[enclosure:SplFileObject:private] => "
)
It does create the file in /tmp, but I want to keep the document in a string so I send or save to DB.
Here is my controller function:
public function get_document($envelopeId, $cert = FALSE)
{
$save_dir = BASEPATH."../documents/";
if ($envelopeId) {
$this->load->model('docusign_model');
$data = $this->docusign_model->get_document($envelopeId, $cert);
}
file_put_contents($save_dir.$envelopeId.".pdf", $data);
//print_r($data);
die("116");
}
This is in docusign_model:
public function get_document($envelopeId, $cert)
{
$docuSignAuth = $this->auth();
if ($docuSignAuth) {
$envelopeApi = new EnvelopesApi($docuSignAuth->apiClient);
$options = new GetDocumentOptions();
if($cert) {
$options->setCertificate(TRUE);
} else {
$options->setCertificate(FALSE);
}
return $envelopeApi->getDocument($docuSignAuth->accountId, 1, $envelopeId, $options);
}
return false;
}
How can I get this document and keep it in a string?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
The content comes back as a file, you have to read the temp file and save that to the desired file
Quick snippet using file_get_contents and file_put_contents
$docStream = $envelopeApi->getDocument($accountId, 1, $envelopeId);
file_put_contents("my_document.pdf", file_get_contents($docStream->getPathname()));

Read Excel 2007 Workbook Custom Properties without opening or running macros

I'm writing a program (in C#) that will be able to replace a local workbook from a server if the server version is higher, and then open it. To this end I'm trying to read Custom Property "Revision Number" of both local and server copies. The issue is that the workbook contains macros that launch on open, and I don't want to run any macros just to check the Revision Code. So is there a way to read the Revision Number of an excel 2007 xlsm file without actually opening it? If not, is there a way to open a workbook in C# and not execute it's macros?
Actually I tried the tkacprow's suggestion to use OpenXML and it worked. It just took me a while to produce a working code and I just got it working yesterday. Fratyx, your tip also looks interesting - i'll keep that in mind. Here's a working code:
public string GetVersion(string fileName)
{
string propertyValue = string.Empty;
try
{
using (var wb = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(fileName, false))
{
const string corePropertiesSchema = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/metadata/core-properties";
const string dcPropertiesSchema = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
const string dcTermsPropertiesSchema = "http://purl.org/dc/terms/";
// Get the core properties part (core.xml).
CoreFilePropertiesPart xCoreFilePropertiesPart;
xCoreFilePropertiesPart = wb.CoreFilePropertiesPart;
// Manage namespaces to perform XML XPath queries.
NameTable nt = new NameTable();
XmlNamespaceManager nsManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(nt);
nsManager.AddNamespace("cp", corePropertiesSchema);
nsManager.AddNamespace("dc", dcPropertiesSchema);
nsManager.AddNamespace("dcterms", dcTermsPropertiesSchema);
// Get the properties from the package.
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument(nt);
// Load the XML in the part into an XmlDocument instance.
xdoc.Load(xCoreFilePropertiesPart.GetStream());
string searchString = string.Format("//cp:coreProperties/{0}", "cp:version");
XmlNode xNode = xdoc.SelectSingleNode(searchString, nsManager);
if (!(xNode == null))
{
//Console.WriteLine(" version is " + xNode.InnerText);
propertyValue = xNode.InnerText;
}
}
}
catch (OpenXmlPackageException e)
{
throw new ApplicationException(String.Format("Incorrect Format detected in a file: {0}" , fileName),e.GetBaseException());
}
return propertyValue;
}

Trying to Use LoadMoreElement in Monotouch.Dialog

I am using Monotouch to write an Ipad app. The app uses tables to browse down through a directory tree and then select a file. I have used Monotouch.Dialog to browse the directories and I set up the directory tables as the app starts.However there are too many files to set up in a table as the app starts and so I want to set up the 'file table' as the file is selected from the lowest level directory table. I am trying to use LoadMoreElement to do this but I cannot make it work or find any examples online. I have coded the 'Elements API Walkthrough' in the Xamarin tutorial at:- http://docs.xamarin.com/ios/tutorials/MonoTouch.Dialog
I then add a new section to the code:-
_addButton.Clicked += (sender, e) => {
++n;
var task = new Task{Name = "task " + n, DueDate = DateTime.Now};
var taskElement = new RootElement (task.Name){
new Section () {
new EntryElement (task.Name,
"Enter task description", task.Description)
},
new Section () {
new DateElement ("Due Date", task.DueDate)
},
new Section()
{
new LoadMoreElement("Passive","Active",
delegate {MyAction();})
}
};
_rootElement [0].Add (taskElement);
Where MyAction is:-
public void MyAction()
{
Console.WriteLine ("we have been actioned");
}
The problem is that MyAction is triggered and Console.Writeline writes the message but the table stays in the active state and never returns to passive. the documentation says:-
Once your code in the NSAction is finished, the UIActivity indicator stops animating and the normal caption is displayed again.
What am I missing?
Ian
You need to set the "Animating" property in the element to false.
Like this:
LoadMoreElement loadMore = null;
loadMore = new LoadMoreElement (
"Passive", "Active",
delegate {loadMore.Animating = false;});
Where did you see any documentation that says that the animation stops when the delegate stops running? If that is documented anywhere, that is wrong.
