These code changes look a bit lengthy. There must be a simpler way to do this. Please allow me to re-factor it along aside with pyexcel-webio.

I agree. A decorator could be provided if the file name wont change based on the request. For example:
@download_file_name("exported_data")
@app.route("/download")
def download():
return excel.make_response(....
But itd be beneficial to allow the file name arg to vary based on the request. A decorator could be applied to the proxied pyexcel methods, too.

I have done the code refactoring. Feel free to comment or contribute

Overall, I welcome your changes. Meanwhile, I will refactor the code changes with pyexcel-webio. |

Thanks. I know there are a few ways to go about this but the fancier I tried to get with it via a decorator the less I liked it. Not wedded to any one approach, as long as it's simple for the client to specify a file name, I'll be happy. |

This patch is released along with pyexcel-webio and others. |

Great! Thank you. On Saturday, 16 January 2016, jaska [email protected] wrote:

I wanted a convenient way to provide the file name to be presented in the content-disposition header instead of passing it in via a form.
This overrides the proxied pyexcel make* methods and adds an extra (default none) file_name option. This could also be accomplished with a decorator, either in the client's code or within init.py, but I decided this was clearer.
Only the name of the file, not the extension, needs to be provided. The extension will be added based on the file_type argument passed in.
