Usage

Simple usage:

import { XlsxGenerator } from "xlsx-encrypter";

const xlsxGenerator = new XlsxGenerator();
const data = [
  {
    fruit: "Apples",
    quantity: 4,
    price: "£6.86",
  },
];

// Create worksheets
const workSheet = xlsxGenerator.createWorkSheet(data, "Fruit Sales");

// Create XLSX file
void xlsxGenerator.exportWorkSheetsToFile("/file-dir/file-name.xlsx", [
  workSheet,
]);

or the older way

const XlsxGenerator = require("xlsx-encrypter");

const data = [
  {
    fruit: "Apples",
    quantity: 4,
    price: "£6.86",
  },
];

// Create worksheets
const workSheet = XlsxGenerator.createWorkSheet(data, "Fruit Sales");

// Create XLSX file
void XlsxGenerator.exportWorkSheetsToFile("/file-dir/file-name.xlsx", [
  workSheet,
]);

Multiple Worksheets

Can handle multiple worksheets.

import { XlsxGenerator } from "xlsx-encrypter";

const xlsxGenerator = new XlsxGenerator();
const data1 = [
  {
    fruit: "Apples",
    quantity: 4,
    price: "£6.86",
  },
];
const data2 = [
  {
    fruit: "Oranges",
    quantity: 2,
    price: "£3.26",
  },
];

// Create worksheets
const workSheet1 = xlsxGenerator.createWorkSheet(data1, "Fruit Sales: May");
const workSheet2 = xlsxGenerator.createWorkSheet(data2, "Fruit Sales: June");

// Create XLSX file
void xlsxGenerator.exportWorkSheetsToFile("/file-dir/file-name.xlsx", [
  workSheet1,
  workSheet2,
]);

Headers

Default headers can be added. NOTE: Headers must match data structure exactly.

import { XlsxGenerator } from "xlsx-encrypter";

const xlsxGenerator = new XlsxGenerator();
const data = [
  {
    fruit: "Apples",
    quantity: 4,
    price: "£6.86",
  },
];
const headers = ["fruit", "quantity", "price"];

// Create worksheets
const workSheet = xlsxGenerator.createWorkSheet(data, "Fruit Sales", headers);

// Create XLSX file
void xlsxGenerator.exportWorkSheetsToFile("/file-dir/file-name.xlsx", [
  workSheet,
]);

Cell Origin

The cell origin of the data can be specified in A1 format.

import { XlsxGenerator } from "xlsx-encrypter";

const xlsxGenerator = new XlsxGenerator();
const data = [];
const headers = ["fruit", "quantity", "price"];
const cellOrigin = "B2";

// Create worksheets
const workSheet = xlsxGenerator.createWorkSheet(
  data,
  "Fruit Sales",
  headers,
  cellOrigin
);

// Create XLSX file
void xlsxGenerator.exportWorkSheetsToFile("/file-dir/file-name.xlsx", [
  workSheet,
]);

Password Encryption

import { XlsxGenerator } from "xlsx-encrypter";

const xlsxGenerator = new XlsxGenerator();
const data = [];
const password = "SuperSecurePassword";

// Create worksheets
const workSheet = xlsxGenerator.createWorkSheet(data, "Fruit Sales");

// Create XLSX file with password
void xlsxGenerator.exportWorkSheetsToFile(
  "/file-dir/file-name.xlsx",
  [workSheet],
  password
);
