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 🙏

npm i noexcel

Basic Usage

A simple excel example like this

image

import {NoExcel, Cell} from "noexcel";
const path = require("path");

// Create a new Instance of NodeExcel class
const excel = new NoExcel();

// Add a worksheet
const sheetName1 = "sheet1";
excel.addWorkSheet(sheetName1);

// Set save file path if need
const exportPath = path.join(__dirname, "../tmp");
excel.setSavePath(exportPath);

// set file name
const fileName = 'test'
excel.setFileName(fileName)

// render simple data

const simpleData = [
    [{ text: "s/n" }, { text: "name" }, { text: "age" }, { text: "position" }],
    [{ text: "1" }, { text: "ming" }, { text: "15" }, { text: "monitor" }],
    [{ text: "2" }, { text: "hua" }, { text: "14" }, { text: "commissary" }],
    [{ text: "3" }, { text: "ai" }, { text: "14" }, { text: "supervisor" }],
  ] as Cell[][];

// render simpleData
await excel.render(simpleData);


// save file to exportPath
await excel.saveFile()

ColSpan

A colspan excel example like this

  const exportPath = path.join(__dirname, "../tmp");
  const fileName = "test";
  const sheetName = "student";

  const data = [
    [
      { text: "class", colSpan: 2 },
      { text: "name" },
      { text: "age" },
      { text: "position" },
    ],
    [
      {
        text: "class 1",
        colSpan: 2,
      },
      { text: "hua" },
      { text: "14" },
      { text: "commissary" },
    ],
    [
      { text: "class 2", colSpan: 2 },
      { text: "hua" },
      { text: "14" },
      { text: "commissary" },
    ],
    [
      {
        text: "class 3",
        colSpan: 2,
        rowSpan: 2,
        childCells: [
          [{ text: "ai" }, { text: "13" }, { text: "supervisor" }],
          [{ text: "ai" }, { text: "13" }, { text: "supervisor" }],
        ],
      },
    ],
  ] as Cell[][];

  const excel = new NoExcel();
  excel.addWorkSheet(sheetName).setSavePath(exportPath).setFileName(fileName);
  await excel.render(data);
  await excel.saveFile();

RowSpan

A rowspan excel example like this

  const exportPath = path.join(__dirname, "../tmp");
  const fileName = "test";
  const sheetName = "student";

  const data = [
    [
      { text: "class" },
      { text: "name" },
      { text: "age" },
      { text: "position" },
    ],
    [
      {
        text: "class one",
        rowSpan: 3,
        childCells: [
          [{ text: "ming" }, { text: "15" }, { text: "monitor" }],
          [{ text: "ai" }, { text: "15" }, { text: "commissary" }],

}

worksheet and filename

Add wordSheet with options and set sheet name

excel.addWorkSheet(sheetName, sheetOptions);

Set save file path and file name

excel.setFileName(fineName);
excel.setSuffix(suffix); // suffix should be .xlsx and .xls

Rows and Columns

Set custom widths and heights of columns/rows

excel.setRowHeight(5, 300).setColWidth(6, 70);

Set rows and/or columns to create a frozen pane with an optionall scrollTo

excel.setRowFreeze(1, 1);
excel.setColFreeze(1, 1);

Hide a row or column

excel.setRowHide(1, 1);
excel.setColHide(1, 1);

Save as file or read as buffer

It can be save as file or write to buffer

const filePath = await excel.saveFile(); // save file and return the file path
const buffer = await excel.writeToBuffer(); // you can return this buffer to http.response, some it can be export by browser

Parse excel file

It can also parse a excel file to array data

const data = await excel.readExcel(filePath, sheetIndex); // save file and return the file path
