Ranges

Build, convert and transform between range representations for Google Sheets.

Ranges, or contiguous groups of cells, within Google Sheets can be represented in different ways, and furthermore can be either bounded or unbounded. Sometimes, the format you need isn't the format you have, or perhaps not the one easily calculated at that point in your application. This is where the Ranges library aims to help.

Installation

Ranges is available from Maven Central. Add to your build.gradle:

implementation 'io.github.plemont:ranges:1.0'

or with Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.plemont</groupId>
    <artifactId>ranges</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

Usage example

// Build a A1 notation range from 0-indexed coordinates
String range = Ranges.forSheetName("Accounts")
    .withStartColumn(0)
    .withStartRow(0)
    .withEndColumn(9)
    .withEndRow(9)
    .toRange();  // Accounts!A1:J10.
    
String range = Ranges.forGridRange(gridRange)
    .withSheetName("Accounts")
    .toRange(); // Creates a A1 notation from a GridRange object.
    
String gridRange = Ranges
    .forRange("Accounts!C:D")
    .withSheetId(0)
    .toGridRange(); // Creates a GridRange from an A1 notation range.
    
String range = Ranges.forStartGridCoordinate(coord)
    .withWidth(10)
    .withHeight(10)
    .toRange(); // Creates an A1 notation range of specified extent, for a start GridCoordinate.
    
String range = Ranges.forRange("Test!A1:B2")
    .translate(5, 5)
    .toRange(); // Translates a range to Test!F6:G7

For further details on the transformations and conversions possible, see the API documentation.
