Annotation

This section describes how to read annotations provided in FastExcel.

Entity Class Annotations

Entity classes are the foundation of read and write operations. FastExcel provides various annotations to help developers easily define fields and formats.

@ExcelProperty

Defines the column name in Excel and the field name to map. Specific parameters are as follows:

NameDefault ValueDescription
valueEmptyUsed to match the header in Excel, must be fully matched. If there are multiple header rows, it will match the last row header.
orderInteger.MAX_VALUEHigher priority than value, will match the order of entities and data in Excel according to the order of order.
index-1Higher priority than value and order, will directly specify which column in Excel to match based on index.
converterAutomatically selectedSpecifies which converter the current field uses. By default, it will be automatically selected.
For reading, as long as the cn.idev.excel.converters.Converter#convertToJavaData(com.idev.excel.converters.ReadConverterContext<?>) method is implemented, it is sufficient.

@ExcelIgnore

By default, all fields will match Excel. Adding this annotation will ignore the field.

@ExcelIgnoreUnannotated

By default, all properties without the @ExcelProperty annotation are involved in read/write operations. Properties with this annotation are not involved in read/write operations.

@DateTimeFormat

Date conversion: When using String to receive data in Excel date format, this annotation will be called. The parameters are as follows:

NameDefault ValueDescription
valueEmptyRefer to java.text.SimpleDateFormat .
use1904windowingAutomatically selectedIn Excel, time is stored as a double-precision floating-point number starting from 1900, but sometimes the default start date is 1904, so set this value to change the default start date to 1904.

@NumberFormat
