Node.js excel parser & builder

node-xlsx (deprecated)

Note: this module is deprecated in favor of js-xlsx. I do not plan to actively maintain this code.

---

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.

New Features Added:

• More customizable options like font name and color.
• Limited support for colSpan AND rowSpan.
• Forced row height and column width.
• Added textRotation.
• Added page scale and sheet view option.

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
