## Simple Smartsheet
Python library to interact with Smartsheet API easily

### Installation
Requires Python 3.6+  
`pip install simple-smartsheet`

### Why not smartsheet-python-sdk
`smartsheet-python-sdk` has very wide object coverage and maps to Smartsheet API very nicely, but it does not have some convenience features (for example, easy access to cells by column titles).  
`simple-smartsheet` library is focused on the user experience in expense of feature coverage. 
As of now, you can only interact with Sheets and Reports and their children objects (rows, columns, cells).  
Additionally, `simple-smartsheet` supports asyncio and provides both sync and async API at the same time.

### Usage
```python
import os
from datetime import date
from pprint import pprint

from simple_smartsheet import Smartsheet
from simple_smartsheet.models import Sheet, Column, Row, Cell, ColumnType

TOKEN = os.getenv("SMARTSHEET_API_TOKEN")
SHEET_NAME = "[TEST] My New Sheet"
smartsheet = Smartsheet(TOKEN)

# retrieve a list of sheets (limited set of attributes)
sheets = smartsheet.sheets.list()
pprint(sheets)

# delete the test sheet if already exists
for sheet in sheets:
    if sheet.name == SHEET_NAME:
        smartsheet.sheets.delete(id=sheet.id)

# create a new Sheet
new_sheet_skeleton = Sheet(
    name=SHEET_NAME,
    columns=[
        Column(primary=True, title="Full Name", type=ColumnType.TEXT_NUMBER),
        Column(title="Number of read books", type=ColumnType.TEXT_NUMBER),
        Column(title="Birth date", type=ColumnType.DATE),
        Column(title="Library member", type=ColumnType.CHECKBOX),
    ],
)

# print the sheet object attributes used by the Smartsheet API (camelCase)
pprint(new_sheet_skeleton.dump())

# add the sheet via API
result = smartsheet.sheets.create(new_sheet_skeleton)
sheet = result.obj
print(f"ID of the created sheet is {sheet.id!r}")

# retrieve a sheet by name
# this object is exactly the same as result.obj
sheet = smartsheet.sheets.get(SHEET_NAME)

# get columns details by column title (case-sensitive)
full_name_column = sheet.get_column("Full Name")
pprint(full_name_column.__dict__)
num_books_column = sheet.get_column("Number of read books")
pprint(num_books_column.__dict__)

# add rows (cells are created using different ways)
# second way is the easiest
new_rows = [
    Row(
        to_top=True,
        cells=[
            Cell(column_id=full_name_column.id, value="Alice Smith"),
            Cell(column_id=num_books_column.id, value=5),
        ],
    ),
    Row(
        to_top=True,
        cells=sheet.make_cells(
            {"Full Name": "Bob Lee", "Number of read books": 2}
        ),
    ),
    Row(
        to_top=True,
        cells=[
            sheet.make_cell("Full Name", "Charlie Brown"),
            sheet.make_cell("Number of read books", 1),
            sheet.make_cell("Birth date", date(1990, 1, 1)),
        ],
    ),
]
smartsheet.sheets.add_rows(sheet.id, new_rows)

# sort rows by column "Full Name" descending / returns updated sheet
sheet = smartsheet.sheets.sort_rows(
    sheet, [{"column_title": "Full Name", "descending": True}]
)

print("\nSheet after adding rows:")
# print a list of dictionaries containing column titles and values for each row
pprint(sheet.as_list())

# get a specific cell and updating it:
row_id_to_delete = None
rows_to_update = []
for row in sheet.rows:
    full_name = row.get_cell("Full Name").value
    num_books = row.get_cell("Number of read books").value
    print(f"{full_name} has read {num_books} books")
    if full_name.startswith("Charlie"):
        updated_row = Row(
            id=row.id, cells=[sheet.make_cell("Number of read books", 15)]
        )
        rows_to_update.append(updated_row)
    elif full_name.startswith("Bob"):
        row_id_to_delete = row.id  # used later

# update rows
smartsheet.sheets.update_rows(sheet.id, rows_to_update)
# or a single row
# smartsheet.sheets.update_row(sheet.id, rows_to_update[0])

# get an updated sheet
sheet = smartsheet.sheets.get(id=sheet.id)
print("\nSheet after updating rows:")
pprint(sheet.as_list())

# delete a row
smartsheet.sheets.delete_row(sheet.id, row_id_to_delete)

# get an updated sheet
sheet = smartsheet.sheets.get(id=sheet.id)
print("\nSheet after deleting rows:")
pprint(sheet.as_list())

# delete a sheet by name
smartsheet.sheets.delete(SHEET_NAME)
sheets = smartsheet.sheets.list()
pprint(sheets)
```

```  
  * `def as_list() -> List[Dict[str, Any]]`: returns a list of dictionaries where column title is key associated with the field value
  
### Custom Indexes
It is possible to build indexes to enable quick rows lookups for sheets and reports. For this, after retrieving the sheet, call `sheet.build_index` function. It takes only one argument: a list of dictionaries, where every dictionary has two keys `columns` and `unique`. `columns` should contain a tuple with column titles (case sensitive). `unique` controls if the index always points to a single row (value `True`, lookups are done using `get_row` method) or multiple rows (value `False`, lookups are done using `get_rows` method).

Below you can find a code snippet (see the full example in `examples/custom_indexes.py`):
```python
INDEXES = [
    {"columns": ("Company",), "unique": False},
    {"columns": ("Company", "Full Name"), "unique": True},
    {"columns": ("Email address",), "unique": True},
]
sheet = smartsheet.sheets.get("[TEST] Index Sheet")
sheet.build_index(INDEXES)

print("\nRow where email address is 'charlie.brown@globex.com':")
print(sheet.get_row(filter={"Email Address": "charlie.brown@globex.com"}).as_dict())
# >
# {'Company Name': 'Globex',
#  'Email Address': 'charlie.brown@globex.com',
#  'Full Name': 'Charlie Brown'}

print("\nRows where the company name is 'ACME':")
print([row.as_dict() for row in sheet.get_rows(filter={"Company Name": "ACME"})])
# >
# [{'Company Name': 'ACME',
#   'Email Address': 'alice.smith@acme.com',
#   'Full Name': 'Alice Smith'},
#  {'Company Name': 'ACME',
#   'Email Address': 'bob.lee@acme.com',
#   'Full Name': 'Bob Lee'}]
```

### Asyncio
The library supports asyncio for all i/o methods, instead of calling:
```
smartsheet = Smartsheet(token)
sheet = smartsheets.sheets.get('my-sheet')
```  
you need to call asynchronous context manager with an async version of smartsheet class:
```
with AsyncSmartsheet(token) as smartsheet:
   sheet = await smartsheet.sheets.get('my-sheet')
```

A complete asyncio example with different operations on sheets and reports can be found in `examples/async.py`

### Pandas
If pandas is installed (either separately or as extras `pip install simple-smartsheet[pandas]`), sheets and rows can be exported as `pandas.DataFrame` or `pandas.Series` respectively. Besides column titles and respective values from the sheet, they will also include row IDs and row numbers
```
sheet = smartsheets.sheets.get('my-sheet')
df = sheet.as_dataframe()
series = sheet.rows[0].as_series()
```
