morning 😼 mogge

jonpither10:08:44

If anyone wants to play around with using Terraform and ClojureScript and wants to learn - I'm looking for a beta-tester of https://github.com/juxt/roll. I'm very happy to work closely and to explain what's going on, and take someone through the hoops

jonpither10:08:04

the only thing I ask right how is that this person has a domain name they can use for AWS deployment purposes

maleghast11:08:34

@jonpither - I can set one up, give a little time…

maleghast11:08:48

And I would like to use roll…

maleghast11:08:01

Just let me figure out how to put one of my domains into Route53 - I’ve been meaning to do this for a while…

elise_huard13:08:41

hi there, does anyone know of a good clojure excel spreadsheet parser?

rickmoynihan09:08:12

It’s a fork with a few fixes on a POI wrapper

rickmoynihan09:08:25

It works quite well but YMMV

elise_huard13:08:46

(outside of incanter that is)

jonpither13:08:03

can you export it to csv first?

danielneal13:08:47

I've not used it myself, but one of my colleagues has been using docjure for the crazier spreadsheets that can't be exported to csv and it seems to be ok.

maleghast13:08:43

clojure-csv (?) is really, really good, if you can get a CSV from your Excel

thomas13:08:40

@elise_huard if I am not mistaken there is also a Java lib for reading Excel spreadsheets. (docjure might use that) so maybe have a look at that as well.

elise_huard13:08:52

@jonpither @maleghast we do the csv thing already, just wondering if there's a direct-from-excel approach. My colleague was comparing the functionality to python, where there is a library for that.

elise_huard13:08:12

@thomas thank you, that might be a good start possibly

maleghast13:08:38

Can’t speak to docjure’s efficacy as never tried it, but I’ve heard people say it’s good.

thomas13:08:01

we use the java lib and it works fine (nothing fancy though(

elise_huard13:08:06

(@thomas do you have the name of the lib handy?)

thomas13:08:22

just had a quick look at the project.clj for docjure and it uses the java lib

thomas13:08:30

(not really surprising)

elise_huard13:08:34

aha 🙂

thomas13:08:19

but that might have a few more things in it than docjure... who knows.

geek-draven13:08:45

I'm using docjure for xlsx files and not had any issues with it and seems pretty effecient

maleghast14:08:00

Nice 🙂
