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 🙏

excel-export

A simple node.js module for exporting data set to Excel xlsx file.

Using excel-export

Setup configuration object before passing it into the execute method. cols is an array for column definition. Column definition should have caption and type properties while width property is not required. The unit for width property is character. beforeCellWrite callback is optional. beforeCellWrite is invoked with row, cell data and option object (eOpt detail later) parameters. The return value from beforeCellWrite is what get written into the cell. Supported valid types are string, date, bool and number. rows is the data to be exported. It is an Array of Array (row). Each row should be the same length as cols. Styling is optional. However, if you want to style your spreadsheet, a valid excel styles xml file is needed. An easy way to get a styles xml file is to unzip an existing xlsx file which has the desired styles and copy out the styles.xml file. Use stylesXmlFile property of configuartion object to specify the relative path and file name of the xml file. Google for "spreadsheetml style" to learn more detail on styling spreadsheet. eOpt in beforeCellWrite callback contains rowNum for current row number. eOpt.styleIndex should be a valid zero based index from cellXfs tag of the selected styles xml file. eOpt.cellType is default to the type value specified in column definition. However, in some scenario you might want to change it for different format.

var express = require('express');
var nodeExcel = require('excel-export');
var app = express();

app.get('/Excel', function(req, res){
  	var conf ={};
	conf.stylesXmlFile = "styles.xml";
  	conf.cols = [{
		caption:'string',
        type:'string',
        beforeCellWrite:function(row, cellData){
			 return cellData.toUpperCase();
		},
        width:28.7109375
	},{
		caption:'date',
		type:'date',
		beforeCellWrite:function(){
			var originDate = new Date(Date.UTC(1899,11,30));
			return function(row, cellData, eOpt){
          		if (eOpt.rowNum%2){
            		eOpt.styleIndex = 1;
          		}  
          		else{
            		eOpt.styleIndex = 2;
          		}
                if (cellData === null){
                  eOpt.cellType = 'string';
                  return 'N/A';
                } else
                  return (cellData - originDate) / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
			} 
		}()
	},{
		caption:'bool',
		type:'bool'
	},{
		caption:'number',
		 type:'number'				
  	}];
  	conf.rows = [
 		['pi', new Date(Date.UTC(2013, 4, 1)), true, 3.14],
 		["e", new Date(2012, 4, 1), false, 2.7182],
        ["M&M<>'", new Date(Date.UTC(2013, 6, 9)), false, 1.61803],
        ["null date", null, true, 1.414]  
  	];
  	var result = nodeExcel.execute(conf);
  	res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/vnd.openxmlformats');
  	res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + "Report.xlsx");
  	res.end(result, 'binary');
});

app.listen(3000);
console.log('Listening on port 3000');
