node-xlsx

Excel parser/builder that relies on xlsx.js (Microsoft Office Extensible File License), this package had to be released under the same restrictive license. Please read it carefully.

An opensource alternative is currently being developped by Niggler, reader-only for now.

Quick start

Parsing a xlsx from file/buffer

var xlsx = require('node-xlsx');

var obj = xlsx.parse(__dirname + '/myFile.xlsx'); // parses a file

var obj = xlsx.parse(fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/myFile.xlsx')); // parses a buffer

Building a plist from an object

var xlsx = require('node-xlsx');

var buffer = xlsx.build({worksheets: [
  {"name":"mySheetName", "data":[
    ["A1", "B1"],
    [
      {"value":"A2","formatCode":"General"},
      {"value":"B2","formatCode":"General"}
    ]
  ]}
]}); // returns a buffer

Testing

node-xlsx is tested with nodeunit.

npm install --dev
npm test
