Password protected file

[hieubq90]

I have a use case for my business scenario where I need to password protect my generated excel files before I can email them to the client.
It would be great if we can have a password protection feature in the library.
Thank you!

Thanks for your issue. I have added this feature request to the Roadmap. In order to support encryption, we need to implement these encryption standards and many more. It would require a very large number of test cases would be several weeks of work involved. That's an interesting job and I will consider adding support for this feature later. I'll certainly accept that patch if somebody did that an also welcome to contribute to this project.

Would it for now be possbile to expose the xlsxWorkbookProtection struct in the public API? That way I could implement password protection on the application side for now.

Welcome to contribution! I think xlsxWorkbookProtection needn't be an exportable struct. We can add a new function such as SetPassword() to manipulate it internally.

Any progress on this?

This feature is essential.

Has anyone found a way to get it working temporarily until it's officially released?

I just initialize the decryption protection spreadsheet support, and I'll add encryption support later.
