Indexing Elda files

To make Elda files management easier, ELDAM provides an Elda files indexing feature.

Elda files indexing is done by the EldaIndexer class. Its method build_index() will scan a directory and try to read each .xlsm files as Eldas to gather information on them. save_index() will export the index in .xlsx format.

from eldam.core.elda_index import EldaIndexer

elda_indexer = EldaIndexer('/path/of/the/directory')
elda_indexer.build_index()
elda_indexer.save_index()

Note

As indexing a large number of Elda files can take a long time, the EldaIndexer class uses the observer design pattern to notify any potential suscriber of its progress. This is used for updating a progressbar in the dedicated GUI widget.
