@norviah/sheets

Convert Google Spreadsheets into JSON. In order to use this package, you must enable the Google Sheets API for your Google account, which can be done here.

Click the Enable the Google Sheets API button and create a new application for a Desktop app. Once you have created an application, you'll be presented with your Client ID, Client Secret, and a button named Download Client Configuration. Click this button and download your configuration file as this is your credentials.json file and this file is used to authorize this application. Save this file in the sub-directory config under your project's root directory.

Installation

npm install @norviah/sheets

Usage

Your credentials.json file should be saved in the sub-directory config under your project's root directory, if wanted, you can save this file in another directory and point that directory to sheets during execution.

To use this module, you'll need the ID of a spreadsheet, which is the long random string in the URL. For example, if you want to convert the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Spreadsheet, you'll need the ID, which is 13d_LAJPlxMa_DubPTuirkIV4DERBMXbrWQsmSh8ReK4.

If sheets encounters an error while converting, which is most likely Google rate limiting the program, sheets will attempt to convert that tab again, up to three times. If an error still occurs for the third attempt, an error is thrown.

The usage for sheets looks like:

sheets({ /** spreadsheet */ }, { /** options */ })

To convert a spreadsheet using sheets, you must provide an object containing:

• id string: The spreadsheet's ID.
• include string[]: Optional, a list of tab names to only convert.
• exclude string[]: Optional, a list of tab names to ignore and not convert.
• dir string: Optional, sheets will save this spreadsheet's JSON file in this specific directory. If this value isn't provided, sheets will default to the dir directory in the options object, and if that value isn't provided, sheets will default to the sub-directory data in the project's root directory.

To convert multiple spreadsheets, you can provide an array of objects:

sheets([{ /** spreadsheet */ }, { /** spreadsheet */ }], { /** options */ })

Examples

// Node.js
const { sheets } = require('@norviah/sheets');

// Typescript
import { sheets } from '@norviah/sheets';

// To continue off of the example above, if you want to convert the AC: NH
// Spreadsheet, or any other spreadsheet, we'll do:
sheets({ id: '13d_LAJPlxMa_DubPTuirkIV4DERBMXbrWQsmSh8ReK4' });

// You can also convert multiple spreadsheets, pass in an array containing
// objects representing the IDs of each spreadsheet:
sheets({ id: '13d_LAJPlxMa_DubPTuirkIV4DERBMXbrWQsmSh8ReK4' }, { id:  '1BjqVeqIrfEezvyrWLUrwMjmK_UbY2LXkZ12mttamTtk' });

// To change the directory that converted JSON files will be stored, pass in
// a value for 'dir' in the 'options' object:
sheets({ id: '13d_LAJPlxMa_DubPTuirkIV4DERBMXbrWQsmSh8ReK4' }, { id:  '1BjqVeqIrfEezvyrWLUrwMjmK_UbY2LXkZ12mttamTtk' }, { dir: '/User/norviah/Desktop' });

// If wanted, you can provide a 'dir' value in each spreadsheet, and the JSON
// files for that specific spreadsheet, will be saved in that directory.
sheets({ id: '13d_LAJPlxMa_DubPTuirkIV4DERBMXbrWQsmSh8ReK4', dir: '/Users/norviah/Documents' }, { id:  '1BjqVeqIrfEezvyrWLUrwMjmK_UbY2LXkZ12mttamTtk' }, { dir: '/User/norviah/Desktop' });

// Note that if a directory does not exist, it will be created recursively.
