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

excel-stream

A stream that converts excel spreadsheets into JSON object arrays.

Examples

// stream rows from the first sheet on the file
var excel = require('excel-stream')
var fs = require('fs')

fs.createReadStream('accounts.xlsx')
  .pipe(excel())  // same as excel({sheetIndex: 0})
  .on('data', console.log)
// stream rows from the sheet named 'Your sheet name'
var excel = require('excel-stream')
var fs = require('fs')

fs.createReadStream('accounts.xlsx')
  .pipe(excel({
     sheet: 'Your sheet name'
  }))
  .on('data', console.log)

stream options

The options object may have the same properties as csv-stream and these two additional properties:

  • sheet: the name of the sheet you want to stream. Case sensitive.
  • sheetIndex: the sheet number you want to stream (0-based).

Usage

npm install -g excel-stream
excel-stream < accounts.xlsx > account.json

options

newline delimited json:

excel-stream --newlines

formats

each row becomes a javascript object, so input like

foo, bar, baz
  1,   2,   3
  4,   5,   6

will become

[{
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2,
  baz: 3
}, {
  foo: 4,
  bar: 5,
  baz: 6
}]

Don't Look Now

So, excel isn't really a streamable format. But it's easy to work with streams because everything is a stream. This writes to a tmp file, then pipes it through the unfortunately named j then into csv-stream
