RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader. It includes an in-browser loader as well as a static optimizer.
SheetJS is a JavaScript library for reading and writing data from spreadsheets.
This demo uses RequireJS and SheetJS to export data. We'll explore how to load
SheetJS in a site using RequireJS and how to use the r.js
optimizer to create
a bundled site.
The Live demo loads RequireJS from the
CDN, uses it to load the standalone script from the SheetJS CDN, and uses the
XLSX
variable to create a button click handler that creates a workbook.
:::note pass
This demo focuses on integration details with the RequireJS loader.
The demos follow the "Export Tutorial", which covers SheetJS library usage in more detail.

Integration Details
The SheetJS Standalone scripts
comply with AMD define
semantics. They support RequireJS and the r.js
optimizer out of the box.
Config
The RequireJS config should set the xlsx
alias in the paths
property.
SheetJS CDN
The SheetJS CDN URL can be directly referenced in a path alias:
{\ require.config({ baseUrl: ".", name: "app", paths: { // highlight-next-line xlsx: "https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/package/dist/xlsx.full.min" } });
}
Vendoring
After downloading the SheetJS standalone script, a relative path can be used in
the path alias. For example, if the standalone script was downloaded in the same
directory as the HTML page, the path should be ./xlsx.full.min
:
require.config({
baseUrl: ".",
name: "app",
paths: {
// highlight-next-line
xlsx: "./xlsx.full.min"
}
});
Usage
Once the alias is set, "xlsx"
can be required from app scripts:
// highlight-next-line
require(["xlsx"], function(XLSX) {
/* use XLSX here */
console.log(XLSX.version);
});
Within the callback, the XLSX
variable exposes the functions listed in the
"API Reference" section of the documentation.
Complete Example
This demo will explore the standalone RequireJS script and the r.js
optimizer.
Standalone RequireJS
- Download the SheetJS Standalone script and move to the project directory:
- xlsx.full.min.js
{\ curl -LO https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/package/dist/xlsx.full.min.js
}
- Save the following to
index.html
:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head></head>
<body>
<h1>SheetJS Presidents Demo</h1>
<button id="xport">Click here to export</button>
<!-- highlight-next-line -->
<script src="http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.3.6/comments/require.js"></script>
<script>
/* Wire up RequireJS */
require.config({
baseUrl: ".",
name: "SheetJSRequire",
paths: {
xlsx: "./xlsx.full.min"
}
});
</script>
<script src="SheetJSRequire.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
:::note pass
To change the RequireJS version, change the version in the highlighted line. For
example, the following script corresponds to RequireJS 2.1.22
:
<script src="http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.1.22/comments/require.js"></script>
:::
- Save the following to
SheetJSRequire.js
:
require(["xlsx"], function(XLSX) {
document.getElementById("xport").addEventListener("click", function() {
/* fetch JSON data and parse */
var url = "https://docs.sheetjs.com/executive.json";
fetch(url).then(function(res) { return res.json(); }).then(function(raw_data) {
/* filter for the Presidents */
var prez = raw_data.filter(function(row) { return row.terms.some(function(term) { return term.type === "prez"; }); });
/* sort by first presidential term */
prez.forEach(function(row) { row.start = row.terms.find(function(term) {return term.type === "prez"; }).start; });
prez.sort(function(l,r) { return l.start.localeCompare(r.start); });
/* flatten objects */
var rows = prez.map(function(row) { return {
name: row.name.first + " " + row.name.last,
birthday: row.bio.birthday
}; });
/* generate worksheet and workbook */
var worksheet = XLSX.utils.json_to_sheet(rows);
var workbook = XLSX.utils.book_new();
XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(workbook, worksheet, "Dates");
/* fix headers */
XLSX.utils.sheet_add_aoa(worksheet, [["Name", "Birthday"]], { origin: "A1" });
/* calculate column width */
var max_width = rows.reduce(function(w, r) { return Math.max(w, r.name.length); }, 10);
worksheet["!cols"] = [ { wch: max_width } ];
/* create an XLSX file and try to save to Presidents.xlsx */
XLSX.writeFileXLSX(workbook, "Presidents.xlsx");
});
});
});
:::info pass
The r.js
optimizer does not handle async
functions or ES6 arrow functions.
To demonstrate compatibility with older RequireJS releases, SheetJSRequire.js
uses normal functions and traditional Promise chains.

r.js Optimizer
- Create
build.js
configuration for the optimizer:
({
baseUrl: ".",
name: "SheetJSRequire",
paths: {
xlsx: "./xlsx.full.min"
},
out: "SheetJSRequire.min.js"
});
- Run the
r.js
optimizer to createSheetJSRequire.min.js
:
npx -p requirejs@2.3.6 r.js -o build.js
:::note pass
To change the RequireJS version, change the version in the command. For example,
the following command uses RequireJS 2.1.22
to generate an optimized script:
npx -p requirejs@2.1.22 r.js -o build.js
:::
- Save the following to
optimized.html
:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head></head>
<body>
<h1>SheetJS Presidents Demo</h1>
<button id="xport">Click here to export</button>
<!-- highlight-next-line -->
<script src="http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.3.6/comments/require.js"></script>
<script src="SheetJSRequire.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
:::note pass
To change the RequireJS version, change the version in the highlighted line. For
example, the following script corresponds to RequireJS 2.1.22
:
<script src="http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.1.22/comments/require.js"></script>
:::
- Open
optimized.html
in the browser (http://localhost:8080/optimized.html
)
