ExcelReaderToDTO

a simple way to read excel files and map them to DTOs

Usage

  1. Download and install the package
  2. Create a DTO class that has properties with ExcelColumnAttribute matching atleast one column in the excel file
public class ProductDTO
{
	[ExcelColumn("Product Name")]
	public string Name { get; set; }
	[ExcelColumn("Price")]
	public decimal Price { get; set; }
	[ExcelColumn("Quantity")]
	public int Quantity { get; set; }
}
  1. read the excel file into MemoryStream
var stream = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes("path/to/excel/file.xlsx"));
  1. Use the ExcelReader to read the file and map it to the DTO
var productList = ExcelReader.Read<ProductDTO>(stream);
  1. Use the list of DTOs as needed
foreach (var product in productList)
{
	Console.WriteLine($"Name: {product.Name}, Price: {product.Price}, Quantity: {product.Quantity}");
}

Notes

  • The ExcelColumnAttribute is used to map the properties of the DTO to the columns in the Excel file.
  • The ExcelReader will automatically map the columns based on the attribute names.
  • The DTO class must have properties that match the column names in the Excel file (atleast one).
  • The Excel file must have a header row with the column names that match the ExcelColumnAttribute names.
  • The package uses EPPlus for reading Excel files, so make sure to include it in your project dependencies (if needed).
  • The package supports only .xlsx formats.
  • Note that this package is using Reflection to map the properties, so it may have performance implications for large files or many DTOs.
