Impossible to generate more than one Excel per request

[lemoinem]

Hello,

I need to create more than one Excel file in one request (They are then bundled in a .zip which is then sent for download).

Sub-requests are not that cool since I don't need them (plus I'm not sure the container will be re-instantiated even with a sub-request) and short from reinitializing the service myself, it's impossible to generate more than one excel at a time.

If the possibility is here (The services.yml is a bit huge a hard to read to me... I may have missed something) could it be possible to document it please?

Thanks for your help and Kudo for the bundle!

Mmm I don't get what the problem could be except the memory and time limit, please could explain better the workflow that you have thougth?

[lemoinem]

Hum... I don't think there is any problem related to generating several Excels. I just don't see any way to get a new excelObj short of creating them myself (thus bypassing the service and the bundle).

I think having a service playing the role of factory (with a createExcelObj and generateResponse methods, or even returning a proxy wrapper around the excelObj with a getResponse method) will be much easier to use than having to bypass the bundle if I want to generate more than one.

@lemoinem with the @dev version is it fixed? Have you time to check?

[lemoinem]

Hum... PR #49 solves part of the problem, but in the end, we still always work on a single ExcelObj and there is still no way to get a new one.

However, building up on it, I think I could now provide a new PR to address specifically the issues of being able to use multiple ExcelObj (simultaneously or not) without having to bypass the service.

If you are interested, I will probably have time to do so next week.

Thanks @liuggio for the poke and @gnat42 for the PR!

Thanks to you def. yes, I hope to find time to add an integration test and to remove the stremed response in favour of Symfony streamed response. :)

[liuggio]

Done :) both, is all your.

I'm committing the last modification

I totally have rewritten the Factory, is now possible to create multiple objects.

Wow! Great! Thank you very much!
