Question

I am a nodejs programmer . Now I have a table of data that I want to save in Excel File format . How do I go about doing this ?

I found a few Node libraries . But m

Answer 1

install exceljs

npm i exceljs --save

import exceljs

var Excel = require('exceljs');
var workbook = new Excel.Workbook();

create workbook

var options = {
                filename: __dirname+'/Reports/'+reportName,
                useStyles: true,
                useSharedStrings: true
            };

            var workbook = new Excel.stream.xlsx.WorkbookWriter(options);

after create worksheet

var worksheet = workbook.addWorksheet('Rate Sheet',{properties:{tabColor:{argb:'FFC0000'}}});

in worksheet.column array you pass column name in header and array key pass in key

worksheet.columns = [
            { header: 'column name', key: 'array key', width: 35},
            { header: 'column name', key: 'array key', width: 35},
            { header: 'column name', key: 'array key', width: 20},

            ];

after using forEach loop append row one by one in exel file

array.forEach(function(row){ worksheet.addRow(row); })

you can also perfome loop on each exel row and cell

worksheet.eachRow(function(row, rowNumber) {
    console.log('Row ' + rowNumber + ' = ' + JSON.stringify(row.values));
});
row.eachCell(function(cell, colNumber) {
    console.log('Cell ' + colNumber + ' = ' + cell.value);
});
