@linc-technologies/ember-spreadsheet-export

Addon that encapsulates ability to render a data set as either excel or csv.

Compatibility

• Ember.js v4.12 or above
• Ember CLI v4.12 or above
• Node.js v18 or above

Installation

ember install @linc-technologies/ember-spreadsheet-export

Usage

• Inject the service(s) for Excel and/or CSV formats, depending on your needs.
• Feed a datastructure that's an array of arrays, where each internal array is the set of data to be rendered for that row.
  • Example: [['Title 1', 'Title 2', 'Title 3'],['row1cell1', 'row1cell2', 'row1cell3'],['row2cell1', 'row2cell2', 'row2cell3']]
• Alternatively, the Excel service accepts an HTMLTableElement instead of an array, and will parse the table.
• The Excel service can generate a multi-sheet workbook - pass an array of objects, each containing a sheet name and data (array or HTML table).

Merging Cells (Excel only)

In order to merge cells, an array of merges can be passed in the options hash. Each element of this array should be an object taking the following form:

{
  s: {
    r: 0,
    c: 0,
  },
  e: {
    r: 1,
    c: 0,
  },
}

s defines the start of the range to be merged, and e the end of the range. Within each, r is the row index and c is the column index. The example above would therefore merge the first two cells in the first column.

Examples

import Component from '@glimmer/component';
import { inject as service } from '@ember/service';
import { action } from '@ember/object';

export default class MyComponent extends Component {
  // Don't forget to inject the service(s) as needed
  @service csv;
  @service excel;

  // Then go ahead and use it in your code
  @action export() {
    const data = [
      ['Title 1', 'Title 2', 'Title 3'],
      ['row1cell1', 'row1cell2', 'row1cell3'],
      ['row2cell1', 'row2cell2', 'row2cell3'],
    ];

    if (type === 'MultiExcel') {
      const sheets = [
        {
          name: 'Demo sheet',
          data,
        },
        {
          name: 'Supplemental sheet',
          data: [
            ['Foo', 'Bar'],
            ['Baz', 'Foobar'],
          ],
        },
        {
          name: 'HTML table',
          data: document.querySelector('#data'),
        },
      ];
      this.excel.export(sheets, { multiSheet: true, fileName: 'test.xlsx' });
    } else if (type === 'Excel') {
      this.excel.export(data, { sheetName: 'sheet1', fileName: 'test.xlsx' });
    } else if (type === 'CSV') {
      this.csv.export(data, { fileName: 'test.csv', autoQuote: true });
    }
  }
}

Differences from ember-cli-data-export

This was initially forked from roofstock/ember-cli-data-export.

• Dependencies have been updated to address various deprecations
• The undocumented export-selector and export-selector-onselect components have been removed, in order to remove the dependency on ember-select-list, which hasn't been updated in a long time
• The csv and excel services are not automatically injected
• The dummy app now has content (a couple of buttons to generate demo files)
• Multiple sheets can be added to a single XLSX file
• [v0.3.0] The excel service supports merging cells via an additional merges option
• [v0.4.0] The csv service supports a new raw option, which disables quoting and escaping of cell contents
• [v0.5.0] The csv service supports a new autoQuote option, which only quotes/escapes cells which need it (those containing quotes, commas or newlines).
• [v0.6.0] The excel service accepts either a nested array or an HTMLTableElement as data for any sheet
• [v0.6.0] Both services can optionally return the generated blob instead of (or as well as) downloading it
