:::note
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NeutralinoJS currently does not provide the equivalent of NodeJS `fs` module.
|
|
|
|
|
The raw `Neutralino.filesystem` and `Neutralino.os` methods are used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `os` and `filesystem` modules must be enabled in `neutralino.conf.json`.
|
|
|
|
|
The starter already enables `os` so typically one line must be added:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```json title="neutralino.config.json"
|
|
|
|
|
"nativeAllowList": [
|
|
|
|
|
"app.*",
|
|
|
|
|
"os.*",
|
|
|
|
|
// highlight-next-line
|
|
|
|
|
"filesystem.*",
|
|
|
|
|
"debug.log"
|
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:::caution
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the time of writing, `filters` did not work as expected on MacOS. They have
|
|
|
|
|
been omitted in the example and commented in the code snippets

### Reading Files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two steps to reading files: obtaining a path and reading binary data:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
|
|
|
const filters = [
|
|
|
|
|
{name: "Excel Binary Workbook", extensions: ["xlsb"]},
|
|
|
|
|
{name: "Excel Workbook", extensions: ["xlsx"]},
|
|
|
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
async function openFile() {
|
|
|
|
|
/* show open file dialog */
|
|
|
|
|
const [filename] = await Neutralino.os.showOpenDialog(
|
|
|
|
|
'Open a spreadsheet',
|
|
|
|
|
{ /* filters, */ multiSelections: false }
|
|
|
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* read data into an ArrayBuffer */
|
|
|
|
|
const ab = await Neutralino.filesystem.readBinaryFile(filename);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* parse with SheetJS */
|
|
|
|
|
const wb = XLSX.read(ab);
|
|
|
|
|
return wb;
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This method can be called from a button click or other event.
|
|
|

### Writing Files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two steps to writing files: obtaining a path and writing binary data:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
|
|
|
const filters = [
|
|
|
|
|
{name: "Excel Binary Workbook", extensions: ["xlsb"]},
|
|
|
|
|
{name: "Excel Workbook", extensions: ["xlsx"]},
|
|
|
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
async function saveFile(wb) {
|
|
|
|
|
/* show save file dialog */
|
|
|
|
|
const filename = await Neutralino.os.showSaveDialog(
|
|
|
|
|
'Save to file',
|
|
|
|
|
{ /* filters */ }
|
|
|
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* Generate workbook */
|
|
|
|
|
const bookType = filename.slice(filename.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
|
|
|
|
|
const data = XLSX.write(wb, { bookType, type: "buffer" });
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* save data to file */
|
|
|
|
|
await Neutralino.filesystem.writeBinaryFile(filename, data);
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This demo was tested on 2023 February 12 with "binaries" `4.7.0` and "client" `3.6.0`

The app core state will be the HTML table. Reading files will add the table to
|
|
|
|
|
the window. Writing files will parse the table into a spreadsheet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Create a new NeutralinoJS app:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
npx @neutralinojs/neu create sheetjs-neu
|
|
|
|
|
cd sheetjs-neu
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Download the standalone script and place in `resources/js/main.js`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
curl -L -o resources/js/xlsx.full.min.js https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-latest/package/dist/xlsx.full.min.js
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-02-13 04:07:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
3) Add the highlighted line to `neutralino.conf.json` in `nativeAllowList`:
|
2023-01-05 03:57:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```json title="neutralino.config.json"
|
|
|
|
|
"nativeAllowList": [
|
|
|
|
|
"app.*",
|
|
|
|
|
"os.*",
|
2023-02-13 04:07:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
// highlight-start
|
2023-01-05 03:57:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
"filesystem.*",
|
|
|
|
|
// highlight-end
|
|
|
|
|
"debug.log"
|
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Set up skeleton app and print version info:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Edit `resources/index.html` and replace the `<body>` with the code below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```html title="resources/index.html"
|
|
|
|
|
<body>
|
|
|
|
|
<div id="neutralinoapp">
|
|
|
|
|
<h1>SheetJS × NeutralinoJS</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<button onclick="importData()">Import Data</button>
|
|
|
|
|
<button onclick="exportData()">Export Data</button>
|
|
|
|
|
<div id="info"></div>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
<script src="js/neutralino.js"></script>
|
|
|
|
|
<!-- Load the browser build and make XLSX available to main.js -->
|
|
|
|
|
<script src="js/xlsx.full.min.js"></script>
|
|
|
|
|
<script src="js/main.js"></script>
|
|
|
|
|
</body>
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Append the following code to `resources/styles.css` to center the table:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```css title="resources/styles.css"
|
|
|
|
|
#info {
|
|
|
|
|
width:100%;
|
|
|
|
|
text-align: unset;
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
table {
|
|
|
|
|
margin: 0 auto;
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Print the version number in the `showInfo` method of `resources/js/main.js`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js title="resources/js/main.js"
|
|
|
|
|
${NL_APPID} is running on port ${NL_PORT} inside ${NL_OS}
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<span>server: v${NL_VERSION} . client: v${NL_CVERSION}</span>
|
|
|
|
|
// highlight-start
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<span>SheetJS version ${XLSX.version}</span>
|
|
|
|
|
// highlight-end
|
|
|
|
|
`;
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) Run the app:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
npx @neutralinojs/neu run
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should see `SheetJS Version ` followed by the library version number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6) Add the following code to the bottom of `resources/js/main.js`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
|
|
|
(async() => {
|
|
|
|
|
const ab = await (await fetch("https://sheetjs.com/pres.numbers")).arrayBuffer();
|
|
|
|
|
const wb = XLSX.read(ab);
|
|
|
|
|
const ws = wb.Sheets[wb.SheetNames[0]];
|
|
|
|
|
document.getElementById('info').innerHTML = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_html(ws);
|
|
|
|
|
})();
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Save the source file, close the app and re-run the command from step 5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the app loads, a table should show in the main screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7) Add `importFile` and `exportFile` to the bottom of `resources/js/main.js`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
|
|
|
async function importData() {
|
|
|
|
|
/* show open dialog */
|
|
|
|
|
const [filename] = await Neutralino.os.showOpenDialog('Open a spreadsheet');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* read data */
|
|
|
|
|
const ab = await Neutralino.filesystem.readBinaryFile(filename);
|
|
|
|
|
const wb = XLSX.read(ab);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* make table */
|
|
|
|
|
const ws = wb.Sheets[wb.SheetNames[0]];
|
|
|
|
|
document.getElementById('info').innerHTML = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_html(ws);
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
async function exportData() {
|
|
|
|
|
/* show save dialog */
|
|
|
|
|
const filename = await Neutralino.os.showSaveDialog('Save to file');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* make workbook */
|
|
|
|
|
const tbl = document.getElementById('info').querySelector("table");
|
|
|
|
|
const wb = XLSX.utils.table_to_book(tbl);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* make file */
|
|
|
|
|
const bookType = filename.slice(filename.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
|
|
|
|
|
const data = XLSX.write(wb, { bookType, type: "buffer" });
|
|
|
|
|
await Neutralino.filesystem.writeBinaryFile(filename, data);
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Save the source file, close the app and re-run the command from step 5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the app loads, click the "Import File" button and select a spreadsheet to
|
|
|
|
|
see the contents. Click "Export File" and enter `SheetJSNeu.xlsx` to write.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8) Build production apps:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
npx @neutralinojs/neu run
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Platform-specific programs will be created in the `dist` folder.
|
