Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Container File Blobs

Pure JS implementation of various container file formats, including ZIP and CFB.

Build Status Coverage Status Dependencies Status NPM Downloads Analytics

Installation

In the browser:

<script src="dist/cfb.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

With npm:

$ npm install cfb

The xlscfb.js file is designed to be embedded in js-xlsx

Library Usage

In node:

var CFB = require('cfb');

For example, to get the Workbook content from an Excel 2003 XLS file:

var cfb = CFB.read(filename, {type: 'file'});
var workbook = CFB.find(cfb, 'Workbook');
var data = workbook.content;

Command-Line Utility Usage

The cfb-cli module ships with a CLI tool for manipulating and inspecting supported files.

JS API

TypeScript definitions are maintained in types/index.d.ts.

The CFB object exposes the following methods and properties:

CFB.parse(blob) takes a nodejs Buffer or an array of bytes and returns an parsed representation of the data.

CFB.read(blob, opts) wraps parse.

CFB.find(cfb, path) performs a case-insensitive match for the path (or file name, if there are no slashes) and returns an entry object or null if not found.

CFB.write(cfb, opts) generates a file based on the container.

CFB.writeFile(cfb, filename, opts) creates a file with the specified name.

Parse Options

CFB.read takes an options argument. opts.type controls the behavior:

| type | expected input | |------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------| | "base64" | string: Base64 encoding of the file | | "binary" | string: binary string (byte n is data.charCodeAt(n)) | | "buffer" | nodejs Buffer | | "file" | string: path of file that will be read (nodejs only) | | (default) | buffer or array of 8-bit unsigned int (byte n is data[n]) |

Write Options

CFB.write and CFB.writeFile take options argument.

opts.type controls the behavior:

| type | output | |------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------| | "base64" | string: Base64 encoding of the file | | "binary" | string: binary string (byte n is data.charCodeAt(n)) | | "buffer" | nodejs Buffer | | "file" | string: path of file that will be created (nodejs only) | | (default) | buffer if available, array of 8-bit unsigned int otherwise |

opts.fileType controls the output file type:

| fileType | output | |:-------------------|:------------------------| | 'cfb' (default) | CFB container | | 'zip' | ZIP file | | 'mad' | MIME aggregate document |

opts.compression enables DEFLATE compression for ZIP file type.

Utility Functions

The utility functions are available in the CFB.utils object. Functions that accept a name argument strictly deal with absolute file names:

  • .cfb_new(?opts) creates a new container object.
  • .cfb_add(cfb, name, ?content, ?opts) adds a new file to the cfb. Set the option {unsafe:true} to skip existence checks (for bulk additions)
  • .cfb_del(cfb, name) deletes the specified file
  • .cfb_mov(cfb, old_name, new_name) moves the old file to new path and name
  • .use_zlib(require("zlib")) loads a nodejs zlib instance.

By default, the library uses a pure JS inflate/deflate implementation. NodeJS zlib.InflateRaw exposes the number of bytes read in versions after 8.11.0. If a supplied zlib does not support the required features, a warning will be displayed in the console and the pure JS fallback will be used.

Container Object Description

The objects returned by parse and read have the following properties:

  • .FullPaths is an array of the names of all of the streams (files) and storages (directories) in the container. The paths are properly prefixed from the root entry (so the entries are unique)

  • .FileIndex is an array, in the same order as .FullPaths, whose values are objects following the schema:

interface CFBEntry {
  name: string; /** Case-sensitive internal name */
  type: number; /** 1 = dir, 2 = file, 5 = root ; see [MS-CFB] 2.6.1 */
  content: Buffer | number[] | Uint8Array; /** Raw Content */
  ct?: Date; /** Creation Time */
  mt?: Date; /** Modification Time */
  ctype?: String; /** Content-Type (for MAD) */
}
