Browsers and other platforms offer solutions for uploading files to servers and
|
||
|
|
cloud storage solutions. Spreadsheets can be written using SheetJS and uploaded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This demo explores file uploads using a number of browser APIs and wrapper
|
||
|
|
libraries. The upload process will generate a sample XLSX workbook, upload the
|
||
|
|
file to [a test server](#test-server), and display the response.

:::caution Third-Party Hosts and Binary Data
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Third-party cloud platforms such as AWS may corrupt raw binary uploads by
|
||
|
|
encoding requests and responses in UTF-8 strings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For AWS, in the "Binary Media Types" section of the API Gateway console, the
|
||
|
|
`"multipart/form-data"` type should be added to ensure that AWS Lambda functions
|
||
|
|
can receive uploads from clients.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Uploading Binary Data
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The SheetJS `write` method[^1] generates file data stored in `ArrayBuffer`
|
||
|
|
objects. The `ArrayBuffer` can be added to a `FormData` object. The `FormData`
|
||
|
|
object can be passed along to POST requests.

|
|

|

|

var ws = XLSX.utils.aoa_to_sheet(aoa);
|
||
|
|
var wb = XLSX.utils.book_new();
|
||
|
|
XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(wb, ws, "Sheet1");
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* export SheetJS workbook object to XLSX file bytes */
|
||
|
|
var data = XLSX.write(wb, {bookType: 'xlsx', type: 'array'});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* build FormData with the generated file */
|
||
|
|
var fdata = new FormData();
|
||
|
|
fdata.append('file', new File([data], 'sheetjs.xlsx'));
|
||
|
|
// field name ^^^^ file name ^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* send data using XMLHttpRequest */
|
||
|
|
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
|
||
|
|
req.open("POST", "https://s2c.sheetjs.com", true);
|
||
|
|
req.send(fdata);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Test Server
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The <https://s2c.sheetjs.com> service is currently hosted on Deno Deploy. The
|
||
|
|
["Deno Deploy" demo](/docs/demos/cloud/deno#demo) covers the exact steps for
|
||
|
|
deploying the service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The CORS-enabled service handles POST requests by looking for uploaded files in
|
||
|
|
the `"file"` key. If a file is found, the file will be parsed using the SheetJS
|
||
|
|
`read` method[^2] and the first worksheet will be converted to HTML using the
|
||
|
|
`sheet_to_html` method[^3].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Browser Demos
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When the upload button is clicked, the browser will build up a new workbook,
|
||
|
|
generate a XLSX file, upload it to <https://s2c.sheetjs.com> and show the
|
||
|
|
response. If the process was successful, a HTML table will be displayed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### XMLHttpRequest

### fetch
|
||
|
|

|
`fetch` takes a second parameter which allows for setting POST request body:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
/* create sample SheetJS workbook object */
|
||
|
|
var aoa = [
|
||
|
|
["S", "h", "e", "e", "t", "J", "S"],
|
||
|
|
[ 5, 4, 3, 3, 7, 9, 5]
|
||
|
|
];
|
||
|
|
const ws = XLSX.utils.aoa_to_sheet(aoa);
|
||
|
|
const wb = XLSX.utils.book_new();
|
||
|
|
XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(wb, ws, "Sheet1");
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* export SheetJS workbook object to XLSX file bytes */
|
||
|
|
var data = XLSX.write(wb, {bookType: 'xlsx', type: 'array'});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* build FormData with the generated file */
|
||
|
|
var fdata = new FormData();
|
||
|
|
fdata.append('file', new File([data], 'sheetjs.xlsx'));
|
||
|
|
// field name ^^^^ file name ^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* send data using fetch */
|

|
fetch("https://s2c.sheetjs.com", { method: "POST", body: fdata });

### Wrapper Libraries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before `fetch` shipped with browsers, there were various wrapper libraries to
|
||
|
|
simplify `XMLHttpRequest`. Due to limitations with `fetch`, these libraries
|
||
|
|
are still relevant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### axios
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[`axios`](https://axios-http.com/) presents a Promise based interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Uploading form data is nearly identical to the `fetch` example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
/* create sample SheetJS workbook object */
|
||
|
|
var aoa = [
|
||
|
|
["S", "h", "e", "e", "t", "J", "S"],
|
||
|
|
[ 5, 4, 3, 3, 7, 9, 5]
|
||
|
|
];
|
||
|
|
const ws = XLSX.utils.aoa_to_sheet(aoa);
|
||
|
|
const wb = XLSX.utils.book_new();
|
||
|
|
XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(wb, ws, "Sheet1");
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* export SheetJS workbook object to XLSX file bytes */
|
||
|
|
var data = XLSX.write(wb, {bookType: 'xlsx', type: 'array'});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* build FormData with the generated file */
|
||
|
|
var fdata = new FormData();
|
||
|
|
fdata.append('file', new File([data], 'sheetjs.xlsx'));
|
||
|
|
// field name ^^^^ file name ^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* send data using axios */
|
||
|
|
axios("https://s2c.sheetjs.com", { method: "POST", data: fdata });
|
||
|
|
```

#### superagent
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[`superagent`](https://github.com/visionmedia/superagent) is a network request
|
||
|
|
library with a "Fluent Interface".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `send` method accepts a `FormData` object as the first argument:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
/* create sample SheetJS workbook object */
|
||
|
|
var aoa = [
|
||
|
|
["S", "h", "e", "e", "t", "J", "S"],
|
||
|
|
[ 5, 4, 3, 3, 7, 9, 5]
|
||
|
|
];
|
||
|
|
const ws = XLSX.utils.aoa_to_sheet(aoa);
|
||
|
|
const wb = XLSX.utils.book_new();
|
||
|
|
XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(wb, ws, "Sheet1");
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* export SheetJS workbook object to XLSX file bytes */
|
||
|
|
var data = XLSX.write(wb, {bookType: 'xlsx', type: 'array'});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* build FormData with the generated file */
|
||
|
|
var fdata = new FormData();
|
||
|
|
fdata.append('file', new File([data], 'sheetjs.xlsx'));
|
||
|
|
// field name ^^^^ file name ^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* send data (fd is the FormData object) */
|
||
|
|
superagent.post("https://s2c.sheetjs.com").send(fd);
|
||
|
|
```

## NodeJS Demos
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These examples show how to upload data in NodeJS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### fetch
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `fetch` implementation mirrors the [browser `fetch`](#fetch).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:::note Tested Deployments

This demo was last tested on 2023 November 19 against NodeJS `20.9.0`
|

|
|
<details><summary><b>Complete Example</b> (click to show)</summary>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This demo uses `fetch` to upload data to <https://s2c.sheetjs.com>. It will parse
|
||
|
|
the workbook and return data in CSV rows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Install the [SheetJS NodeJS module](/docs/getting-started/installation/nodejs):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<CodeBlock language="bash">{`\
|
||
|
|
npm i --save https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz`}
|
||
|
|
</CodeBlock>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) Save the following to `SheetJSFetch.js`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js title="SheetJSFetch.js"
|
||
|
|
const XLSX = require("xlsx");
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* create sample SheetJS workbook object */
|
||
|
|
var aoa = [
|
||
|
|
["S", "h", "e", "e", "t", "J", "S"],
|
||
|
|
[ 5, 4, 3, 3, 7, 9, 5]
|
||
|
|
];
|
||
|
|
const ws = XLSX.utils.aoa_to_sheet(aoa);
|
||
|
|
const wb = XLSX.utils.book_new();
|
||
|
|
XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(wb, ws, "Sheet1");
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* export SheetJS workbook object to XLSX file bytes */
|
||
|
|
var data = XLSX.write(wb, {bookType: 'xlsx', type: 'array'});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* build FormData with the generated file */
|
||
|
|
var fdata = new FormData();
|
||
|
|
fdata.append('file', new File([data], 'sheetjs.xlsx'));
|
||
|
|
// field name ^^^^ file name ^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
fdata.append('type', 'csv');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(async() => {
|
||
|
|
/* send data using fetch */
|
||
|
|
const res = await fetch("https://s2c.sheetjs.com", { method: "POST", body: fdata });
|
||
|
|
const txt = await res.text();
|
||
|
|
console.log(txt);
|
||
|
|
})();
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) Run the script:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
node SheetJSFetch.js
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It will print CSV contents of the test file.

## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some SheetJS users have reported corrupted files. To diagnose the error, it is
|
||
|
|
strongly recommended to write local files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, using `fetch` in the browser, the bytes can be downloaded using the
|
||
|
|
[HTML5 Download Attribute](/docs/demos/local/file#html5-download-attribute). The
|
||
|
|
highlighted lines should be added immediately after `write`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js title="Diagnosing issues in a fetch upload"
|
||
|
|
/* Generate XLSX file */
|
||
|
|
const data = XLSX.write(wb, {bookType: 'xlsx', type: 'array'});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// highlight-start
|
||
|
|
/* Write to Local File */
|
||
|
|
const blob = new Blob([data]);
|
||
|
|
const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
|
||
|
|
const a = document.createElement("a");
|
||
|
|
a.download = "SheetJS.xlsx";
|
||
|
|
a.href = url;
|
||
|
|
document.body.appendChild(a);
|
||
|
|
a.click();
|
||
|
|
document.body.removeChild(a);
|
||
|
|
// highlight-end
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* Make FormData */
|
||
|
|
const fdata = new FormData();
|
||
|
|
fdata.append('file', new File([data], 'sheetjs.xlsx'));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* Upload */
|
||
|
|
const url = "https://s2c.sheetjs.com";
|
||
|
|
const res = await fetch(url, {method:"POST", body: fdata});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the generated file is valid, then the issue is in the server infrastructure.
