Using standard DOM operations, the file data can be pulled into an `ArrayBuffer`

the code is a "pyramid of doom", the error handlers are omitted:
Starting from an array of objects, the SheetJS `json_to_sheet` method[^5]
generates a SheetJS worksheet object. The `book_append_sheet` and `book_new`

```ts
```js
import { utils } from 'xlsx';

const ws = utils.json_to_sheet(todos.value);
const wb = utils.book_new();

## Initial Configuration
[Google Sheets](https://google.com/sheets/about/) is a collaborative spreadsheet
service with powerful external APIs for automation.
Install the dependencies:
[SheetJS](https://sheetjs.com) is a JavaScript library for reading and writing
data from spreadsheets.
<CodeBlock language="bash">{`\
npm i -S https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz google-spreadsheet@3.3.0`}
</CodeBlock>
This demo uses SheetJS to properly exchange data with spreadsheet files. We'll
explore how to use NodeJS integration libraries and SheetJS in three data flows:
The library README has a [guide](https://theoephraim.github.io/node-google-spreadsheet/#/getting-started/authentication)
for configuring a service worker with write access to the document. Following
the service worker guide, the JSON key should be saved to `key.json`.
- "Importing data": Data in a NUMBERS spreadsheet will be parsed using SheetJS
libraries and written to a Google Sheets Document
The following helper function attempts to authenticate and access the specified
sheet by ID. The code should be copied and saved to `common.js`:
- "Exporting data": Data in Google Sheets will be pulled into arrays of objects.
A workbook will be assembled and exported to Excel Binary workbooks (XLSB).
<details><summary><b>Code</b> (click to show)</summary>
- "Exporting files": SheetJS libraries will read XLSX and ODS files exported by
Google Sheets and generate CSV rows from every worksheet.
```js title=common.js
const fs = require("fs");
const { GoogleSpreadsheet } = require('google-spreadsheet');
:::warning pass
module.exports = async(ID) => {
/* get credentials */

It is strongly recommended to create a new Google account for testing.
/* initialize sheet and authenticate */

await doc.useServiceAccountAuth(creds);
await doc.loadInfo();
return doc;
}
**One small mistake could result in a block or ban from Google services.**
:::
:::caution pass
Google Sheets deprecates APIs quickly and there is no guarantee that the

:::
## Integration Details
This demo uses the following NodeJS modules:
- `google-auth-library`[^1] to authenticate with Google APIs
- `node-google-spreadsheet`[^2] to interact with Google Sheets v4 API
:::info Initial Setup
There are a number of steps to enable the Google Sheets API and Google Drive API
for an account. The [Complete Example](#complete-example) covers the process.
:::
### Authentication
It is strongly recommended to use a service account for Google API operations.
The ["Service Account Setup" section](#service-account-setup) covers how to
create a service account and generate a JSON key file.
```js title="Authenticate using a JSON key file"
import { JWT } from 'google-auth-library'
import { GoogleSpreadsheet } from 'google-spreadsheet';
// adjust the path to the actual key file.
// highlight-next-line
import creds from './sheetjs-test-726272627262.json' assert { type: "json" };
const jwt = new JWT({
email: creds.client_email,
key: creds.private_key,
scopes: [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file',
]
});
```
</details>
### Connecting to Documents
To connect to existing documents, the document ID must be specified. This ID can
be found from the edit URL.
The edit URL starts with `https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/` and includes
`/edit`. The ID is the string of characters between the slashes. For example:
```
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/a_long_string_of_characters/edit#gid=0
---------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^--- ID
```
The `GoogleSpreadsheet` constructor accepts a document ID and auth object:
```js title="Connect to a document"
const doc = new GoogleSpreadsheet('DOCUMENT_ID', jwt);
await doc.loadInfo();
```
### Creating New Documents
The `createNewSpreadsheetDocument` makes a request to create a new document. It
is strongly recommended to create a blank sheet.
```js title="Create a new document with blank sheet"
const doc = await GoogleSpreadsheet.createNewSpreadsheetDocument(jwt, { title: 'Document Title' });
const newSheet = await doc.addSheet({ title: 'Sheet Title' });
```
### Array of Arrays
["Arrays of Arrays"](/docs/api/utilities/array#array-of-arrays) are the main
data format for interchange with Google Sheets. The outer array object includes
row arrays, and each row array includes data.
SheetJS provides methods for working with Arrays of Arrays:
- `aoa_to_sheet`[^3] creates SheetJS worksheet objects from arrays of arrays
- `sheet_to_json`[^4] can generate arrays of arrays from SheetJS worksheets
## Export Document Data
The goal is to create an XLSB export from a Google Sheet. Google Sheets does
not natively support the XLSB format. SheetJS fills the gap.

The functions return NodeJS `Buffer` data that can be parsed using SheetJS.
In the web interface, Google Sheets can export documents to `XLSX` or `ODS`. The
NodeJS library includes similar methods to perform the download[^5]:

/* Parse with SheetJS */
const wb = read(buf);
/* Loop over the worksheet names */
wb.SheetNames.forEach(name => {
/* Print the name to the console */
console.log(name);
/* Get the corresponding worksheet object */
const sheet = wb.Sheets[name];
/* Print a CSV export of the worksheet */
console.log(utils.sheet_to_csv(sheet));
});
```
Edit the highlighted lines as follows:
- `'./sheetjs-test-726272627262.json'` should be replaced with the name of the
