Enhancement to allow access to meta data read?

[AzzaAzza69]

I need to read meta data from an xlsx to help when I re-output a new adjusted file and so was thinking that you could make the data you've read (like $cell_type & the format string) available...
I was thinking something along the lines of an "include_meta_data" configuration option which could populate a separate "current_row_meta_data" array (for backward compatibility) which could look like this:

current_row_meta_data[0]=[
  'type'=>'d',          // 'd'=datetime | 's'=shared string/'inlineStr'/'str' | 'b'=boolean | 'n'=numeric | 'e'=error
]

Maybe also include the "format" string for the cell, as in:
  'format'=>'dd/mm/yy',

Greetings,

Something like this should be doable. I approve of your approach towards ensuring backwards compatibility, too.

Unfortunately, there are currently no plans to add further enhancements to this library. It's mostly just basic support.

So for now, I'll just keep this issue open and mark it as an enhancement request.
Once this topic becomes more relevant, you should find updates about that here.

Take care.
