voodoo-reports

A series of tubes adapters over a reporting abstraction to programatically generate reports. Uses MigraDoc for PDF generation and ClosedXml for excel generation.

• Tablular Reports

TabularReport

		private void addHeaderRow()  
        {
            var header = this.table.AddRow().Bold().Big().Header();
            header.NoBorder(BorderPosition.Top);

            header.AddCell("Name");
            header.AddCell("Address").NotBold();
            header.AddCell(string.Empty); 
            header.AddCell(string.Empty);
        }

        private void addRow(RandomPerson person)
        { 
            var row = table.AddRow();
            
            row.AddCell($"{person.LastName},{person.FirstName}");
            row.AddCell(person.Address.Address1);
            row.AddCell($"{person.Address.City},{person.Address.State} {person.Address.ZipCode}");
            
            cramAsManyFeaturesAsPossibleIntoOneCell(row.AddCell());
        }

• Row and Column Span

  

Row and Column Span

		private void addRow(RandomPerson person)
        {
            var row = Table.AddRow();
            row.AddCell($"{person.LastName},{person.FirstName}").RowSpan(3);
            row.AddCell(person.Address.Address1).ColSpan(2)
                .BackColor(System.Drawing.Color.AliceBlue);
            row = Table.AddRow();
            row.AddCell($"{person.Address.City},{person.Address.State} {person.Address.ZipCode}");
            row = Table.AddRow();
            row.AddCell($"USA, Earth");

        }

• Borders And Shading

  

Borders And Shading

		public void Build(List<RandomPerson> data)
        {
            var table = getTable();
            Row row = null;
            Cell cell = null;

            foreach (var r in Enumerable.Range(1, 4))
            {
                row = table.AddRow();
                foreach (var c in Enumerable.Range(1, 4))
                {
                    cell = row.AddCell("X");
                }
            }
            var cells = getJaggedOutline(table);
            cells.ForEach(c => c.BackColor(Color.LightGray));
            table.SetInnerBorders(Color.Red, Models.BorderStyle.Solid, cells);            
            table.SetOuterBorders(Color.Blue, Models.BorderStyle.Solid, cells);

            table = getTable();
            row = table.AddRow(.25).Big().Big().Bold().Border(BorderPosition.Bottom);
            cell = row.AddCell("Title").ColSpan(4).Center();
            row = table.AddRow(.2).Big().Bold().BackColor(Color.LightGray);
            row.AddCell("Left").ColSpan(2).Right().ForeColor(Color.Blue);
            row.AddCell("Right").ColSpan(2).Left().ForeColor(Color.Red);
            row = table.AddRow().Center();
            row.AddCell("A").Row.AddCell("B").Row.AddCell("C").Row.AddCell("D");
        }

        private Cell[] getJaggedOutline(Table table)
        {
            var rows = table.Children().Select(c => c as Row).ToArray();
            var cells = new List<Cell>();
            cells.AddRange(rows[0].Children().Take(4).ToArray());
            cells.AddRange(rows[1].Children().Take(3).ToArray());
            cells.AddRange(rows[2].Children().Take(2).ToArray());
            cells.AddRange(rows[3].Children().Take(1).ToArray());
            return cells.ToArray();
        }

Renderer Differences

	PDF	Excel
Header/Footer	full	not yet implemented 1
Styling	full	Body Only
Images	full	No2
Page#/#Pages	full	not yet implemented, will be Header/Footer only

¹ Excel doesn't offer free form headers, if you plan on rendering to excel use a header with 1 or 3 cells, not currently implemented ² This seems to be in the works in closed xml, will be limited to body only

Unsupported features will be skipped rather than throwing a not supported exception.

MIT

Roadmap

-Finish the adapter for OpenXml to generate excel files

-Add an adapter for csv -Add an adapter for html
