Why Sheetifye?

Most Flutter Excel packages rely on slow WebViews or lack professional features like virtualization and cell selection. Sheetifye is a custom-built spreadsheet engine that paints directly to the Flutter canvas.

• No WebView / No PlatformView: 100% native Flutter rendering.
• Offline First: Works entirely offline with a local XLSX parser.
• Memory Efficient: Uses a specialized LRU cache for formula management and rendering.
• Developer Friendly: Drop-in widget that handles all the complexity of Excel layouts.

Quick Start

1. Initialize State

Sheetifye uses Riverpod for high-performance state management. Wrap your app in a ProviderScope:

void main() {
  runApp(const ProviderScope(child: MyApp()));
}

2. Add the Spreadsheet Viewer

import 'package:sheetifye/sheetifye.dart';

class MyExcelView extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Sheetifye.asset('assets/reports/sales_2024.xlsx'),
    );
  }
}

Technical Details

🏗️ Architecture

Sheetifye follows a Refined Monolithic Architecture optimized for speed. The rendering pipeline uses a multi-stage process:

1. Virtualization: Identifies only visible cells.
2. Layout: Computes pixel-perfect positions.
3. Painting: Draws directly to the Canvas in a single pass.

⚡ Performance

Designed for High-Performance Spreadsheet needs.

• Memory Footprint: ~45MB for a 50,000-row dataset.
• Scroll Latency: < 1ms on modern devices.
• Background Parsing: XLSX files are processed in a separate isolate to prevent UI jank.

📑 XLSX & CSV Support

Our native XLSX & CSV parser handles:

• Multi-sheet workbooks (XLSX)
• Standard CSV files
• Cell styling (bold, italic, colors)
• Column widths and row heights
• Merged cell regions
• Calculated formula results

---

Custom Theming

Make your Excel Grid Flutter implementation look exactly like your app.

Sheetifye.asset(
  'assets/data.xlsx',
  theme: SheetifyeThemeData(
    primaryColor: Colors.deepPurple,
    headerBackground: Colors.grey[50],
    gridColor: Colors.blueGrey[100],
    fontFamily: 'Inter',
  ),
)
