Excel Data Importer

The Excel Data Importer is a simple library for importing data from Excel files (.xlsx) into a .NET application. It provides a class ProcessExcel, which contains a method ImportExcelData for importing Excel data and ExcelToJSONConvertMethod for converting Excel data into formatted JSON string.

Installation

To use the Excel Data Importer in your .NET project, follow these steps:

Ensure you have all this library installed in your project. You can install it via NuGet using the following command:

• Install-Package EPPlus
• Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json
• Install-Package ConfigSupport

Usage

using ConfigSupport;

OpcUaExcelJsonConverter Class:

The OpcUaExcelJsonConverter class provides a two methods

• ConvertExcelToJson -- Convert Excel to JSON structure string
• ConvertJsonToExcel -- Convert JSON to Excel / Json data with respect to the JSON

ConvertExcelToJson Method

The ConvertExcelToJson method import Excel data and converting it to JSON. Here's how you can use it:

Parameters:

• filePath: Specify the path of your Excel file location with name.
• subProcess: An array of string with all sub-Process.
• dataType: An array of string with all Data Types.
• descriptionPattern: Regex patter to check the description pattern.

Request:

CSharp:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        OpcUaExcelJsonConverter yourClassInstance = new OpcUaExcelJsonConverter();
        string filePath = "example.xlsx"; // Specify the Excel file path
        string[] subProcess = new string[] { "SubProcess1", "SubProcess2", "SubProcess3" };
        string[] dataType = new string[] { "DataType1", "DataType2", "DataType3" };
        string descriptionPattern = "YourRegexPattern";

        string response = yourClassInstance.ConvertExcelToJson(string filePath, string[] subProcess, string[] dataType, string descriptionPattern);
        // Use the response as needed in your application
    }
}

Response:

The return as a JSON formatted string.

Example Response:

Type1: With Xml string
{
  "name": "string",
  "version": "string",
  "comment": "string",
  "instanceNamespaceUri": "string",
  "opcGatewayOptions": {
    "additionalProp1": "string",
    "additionalProp2": "string",
    "additionalProp3": "string"
  },
  "opcNodeConfig": [
    {
      "description": "string",
      "version": "string",
      "nameSpaceUri": "string",
      "opcNodes": [
        {
          "name": "string",
          "type": "string",
          "description": "string",

            "string"
          ]
        }
      ],
      "xmlConfig": "string"
    }
  ]
}

Type:2 Without Xml string
{
  "name": "string",
  "version": "string",
  "comment": "string",
  "instanceNamespaceUri": "string",
  "opcGatewayOptions": {
    "additionalProp1": "string",
    "additionalProp2": "string",
    "additionalProp3": "string"
  },
  "opcNodeConfig": [
    {
      "description": "string",
      "version": "string",
      "nameSpaceUri": "string",
      "opcNodes": [
        {
          "name": "string",
          "type": "string",
          "description": "string",
          "template": "string",
          "childTypes": [
            "string"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

ConvertJsonToExcel Method:

The ConvertJsonToExcel method import JSON data and converting it to Excel / JSON files with respect to the JSON request. Here's how you can use it:

Parameters:

• opcNode: OPCNodeConfig Type data.
• filePath: folder path to save the extracted files.
• columnData: It refers to Excel column header information.
• attributes: It refers to the list of attributes used in the files.

Example:

class Program
{
    public class OPCNodeConfig
    {
        public string description { get; set; }
        public string version { get; set; }
        public string nameSpaceUri { get; set; }
        public string xmlConfig { get; set; }
        public List<OPCNode> opcNodes { get; set; }
    }
    public class OPCNode
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string type { get; set; }
        public string template { get; set; }
        public string description { get; set; }
        public List<OPCNode> childTypes { get; set; }
        public List<string> ObjectLevels { get; set; } = new List<string>();
    }
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create an instance of your class
        OpcUaExcelJsonConverter yourClassInstance = new OpcUaExcelJsonConverter();

        // Prepare sample data
        OPCNodeConfig opcNode = new OPCNodeConfig();
        // Add sample data to opcNode

        string filePath = yourFilePath.json;
        List<string> columnData = new List<string> { "ColumnData1", "ColumnData2", "ColumnData3" };
        string[] attributes = new string[] { "Attributes1", "Attributes2", "Attributes3" };

        // Call the ExcelToJSONConvertMethod
        yourClassInstance.ConvertJsonToExcel(OPCNodeConfig opcNode, string filePath, List<string> columnData, string[] attributes)
    }
}

Return Value:

No return, it will save the file as Excel or Json in the give file path location

Example Response:

Type:1 JSON contains XML type configuration
File saved as
- HeaderJson.json
- xmlFile1.json
- xmlFile2.json ...

Type:2 JSON does not contains XML in the configuration
