## About this fork
2016-03-08 18:27:03 +00:00
[This project ](https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx/tree/beta ) is a fork of the original (and awesome) [SheetJS/xlsx ](https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx ) project.
2016-03-08 17:57:04 +00:00
It is extended to enable cell formats to be read from and written to .xlsx workbooks.
The intent is to provide a temporary means of using these features in practice, and ultimately to merge this into the primary project.
Report any issues to https://github.com/protobi/js-xlsx/issues.
For those contributing to this fork:
* `master` is the main branch, which follows the original repo to enable a future pull request.
* `beta` branch is published to npm and bower to make this fork available for use.

2012-12-04 19:27:20 +00:00
In the browser:
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```html
< script lang = "javascript" src = "dist/xlsx.core.min.js" > < / script >
```
2014-04-23 01:37:08 +00:00
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
With [bower ](http://bower.io/search/?q=js-xlsx ):

```
2014-04-23 01:37:08 +00:00
CDNjs automatically pulls the latest version and makes all versions available at
< http: / / cdnjs . com / libraries / xlsx >
## Optional Modules
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
The node version automatically requires modules for additional features. Some
2014-05-01 00:24:27 +00:00
of these modules are rather large in size and are only needed in special
circumstances, so they do not ship with the core. For browser use, they must
be included directly:
2014-04-23 01:37:08 +00:00
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```html
<!-- international support from https://github.com/sheetjs/js - codepage -->
< script src = "dist/cpexcel.js" > < / script >
<!-- ODS support -->
< script src = "dist/ods.js" > < / script >
```
2014-04-23 01:37:08 +00:00
An appropriate version for each dependency is included in the dist/ directory.
The complete single-file version is generated at `dist/xlsx.full.min.js`
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
## ECMAScript 5 Compatibility
2014-06-03 18:39:46 +00:00
Since xlsx.js uses ES5 functions like `Array#forEach` , older browsers require
[Polyfills ](http://git.io/QVh77g ). This repo and the gh-pages branch include
[a shim ](https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx/blob/master/shim.js )
To use the shim, add the shim before the script tag that loads xlsx.js:
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```html
< script type = "text/javascript" src = "/path/to/shim.js" > < / script >
```

## Parsing Workbooks
2012-12-04 19:27:20 +00:00
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
For parsing, the first step is to read the file. This involves acquiring the
data and feeding it into the library. Here are a few common scenarios:
2012-12-04 19:27:20 +00:00
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
- node readFile:
2012-12-04 19:27:20 +00:00
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```js
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
if(typeof require !== 'undefined') XLSX = require('xlsx');
var workbook = XLSX.readFile('test.xlsx');
/* DO SOMETHING WITH workbook HERE */
```
2014-05-22 12:16:51 +00:00
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
- ajax (for a more complete example that works in older browsers, check the demo
at < http: / / oss . sheetjs . com / js-xlsx / ajax . html > ):
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```js
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
/* set up XMLHttpRequest */
var url = "test_files/formula_stress_test_ajax.xlsx";
var oReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
oReq.open("GET", url, true);
oReq.responseType = "arraybuffer";
oReq.onload = function(e) {
var arraybuffer = oReq.response;
/* convert data to binary string */
var data = new Uint8Array(arraybuffer);
var arr = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i != data.length; ++i) arr[i] = String.fromCharCode(data[i]);
var bstr = arr.join("");
/* Call XLSX */
var workbook = XLSX.read(bstr, {type:"binary"});
/* DO SOMETHING WITH workbook HERE */
}
oReq.send();
```
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
- HTML5 drag-and-drop using readAsBinaryString:
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```js
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
/* set up drag-and-drop event */
function handleDrop(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
var files = e.dataTransfer.files;
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
var i, f;
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
for (i = 0, f = files[i]; i != files.length; ++i) {
var reader = new FileReader();
var name = f.name;
reader.onload = function(e) {
var data = e.target.result;
/* if binary string, read with type 'binary' */
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
var workbook = XLSX.read(data, {type: 'binary'});
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
/* DO SOMETHING WITH workbook HERE */
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(f);
}
}
drop_dom_element.addEventListener('drop', handleDrop, false);
```
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
- HTML5 input file element using readAsBinaryString:
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```js
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
function handleFile(e) {
var files = e.target.files;
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
var i, f;
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
for (i = 0, f = files[i]; i != files.length; ++i) {
var reader = new FileReader();
var name = f.name;
reader.onload = function(e) {
var data = e.target.result;
var workbook = XLSX.read(data, {type: 'binary'});
/* DO SOMETHING WITH workbook HERE */
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(f);
}
}
input_dom_element.addEventListener('change', handleFile, false);
```
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
## Working with the Workbook
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
The full object format is described later in this README.
This example extracts the value stored in cell A1 from the first worksheet:
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```js
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
var first_sheet_name = workbook.SheetNames[0];
var address_of_cell = 'A1';
/* Get worksheet */
var worksheet = workbook.Sheets[first_sheet_name];
/* Find desired cell */
var desired_cell = worksheet[address_of_cell];
/* Get the value */
var desired_value = desired_cell.v;
```
This example iterates through every nonempty of every sheet and dumps values:
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```js
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
var sheet_name_list = workbook.SheetNames;
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
sheet_name_list.forEach(function(y) { /* iterate through sheets */
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
var worksheet = workbook.Sheets[y];
for (z in worksheet) {
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
/* all keys that do not begin with "!" correspond to cell addresses */
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
if(z[0] === '!') continue;
console.log(y + "!" + z + "=" + JSON.stringify(worksheet[z].v));
}
});
```

2014-02-12 06:09:42 +00:00
2014-05-01 00:24:27 +00:00
Note that older versions of IE does not support HTML5 File API, so the base64
mode is provided for testing. On OSX you can get the base64 encoding with:
2014-02-12 06:09:42 +00:00
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```sh
$ < target_file.xlsx base64 | pbcopy

- < https: // github . com / SheetJS / js-xlsx / blob / master / bin / xlsx . njs > node
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
The node version installs a command line tool `xlsx` which can read spreadsheet
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
files and output the contents in various formats. The source is available at
`xlsx.njs` in the bin directory.
2014-02-12 06:09:42 +00:00
2014-01-27 09:38:50 +00:00
Some helper functions in `XLSX.utils` generate different views of the sheets:
2014-02-04 00:00:44 +00:00
- `XLSX.utils.sheet_to_csv` generates CSV
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
- `XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json` generates an array of objects
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
- `XLSX.utils.sheet_to_formulae` generates a list of formulae
2014-01-27 09:38:50 +00:00
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
## Writing Workbooks
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
For writing, the first step is to generate output data. The helper functions
`write` and `writeFile` will produce the data in various formats suitable for
dissemination. The second step is to actual share the data with the end point.
Assuming `workbook` is a workbook object:
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
- nodejs write to file:
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```js
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
/* output format determined by filename */
XLSX.writeFile(workbook, 'out.xlsx');
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
/* at this point, out.xlsx is a file that you can distribute */
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
```
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
- write to binary string (using FileSaver.js):
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```js
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
/* bookType can be 'xlsx' or 'xlsm' or 'xlsb' */
2016-03-08 18:26:42 +00:00
var wopts = {
bookType:'xlsx',
bookSST:false,
type:'binary',
showGridLines: false,
defaultCellStyle: { font: { name: "Verdana", sz: 11, color: "FF00FF88"}, fill: {fgColor: {rgb: "FFFFAA00"}}},
Props: {
title: "Goldilocks",
description: "Girl discovers mysterious cottage in forest ",
creator:"Traditional folk tale",
keywords: "Bears; porridge; property rights; iterative optimization",
subject: "subject"
}
};
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
var wbout = XLSX.write(workbook,wopts);
function s2ab(s) {
var buf = new ArrayBuffer(s.length);
var view = new Uint8Array(buf);
for (var i=0; i!=s.length; ++i) view[i] = s.charCodeAt(i) & 0xFF;
return buf;
}
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
/* the saveAs call downloads a file on the local machine */
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
saveAs(new Blob([s2ab(wbout)],{type:""}), "test.xlsx")
```

## Interface
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
`XLSX` is the exposed variable in the browser and the exported node variable
2014-05-16 00:33:34 +00:00
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
`XLSX.version` is the version of the library (added by the build script).
`XLSX.SSF` is an embedded version of the [format library ](http://git.io/ssf ).
### Parsing functions
2014-05-16 00:33:34 +00:00
`XLSX.read(data, read_opts)` attempts to parse `data` .
`XLSX.readFile(filename, read_opts)` attempts to read `filename` and parse.
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
### Writing functions
2014-05-16 00:33:34 +00:00
`XLSX.write(wb, write_opts)` attempts to write the workbook `wb`
`XLSX.writeFile(wb, filename, write_opts)` attempts to write `wb` to `filename`
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
### Utilities
Utilities are available in the `XLSX.utils` object:
Exporting:
- `sheet_to_json` converts a workbook object to an array of JSON objects.
- `sheet_to_csv` generates delimiter-separated-values output
- `sheet_to_formulae` generates a list of the formulae (with value fallbacks)
Cell and cell address manipulation:
- `format_cell` generates the text value for a cell (using number formats)
- `{en,de}code_{row,col}` convert between 0-indexed rows/cols and A1 forms.
- `{en,de}code_cell` converts cell addresses
- `{en,de}code_range` converts cell ranges
## Workbook / Worksheet / Cell Object Description
2014-01-27 09:38:50 +00:00
2014-05-16 00:33:34 +00:00
js-xlsx conforms to the Common Spreadsheet Format (CSF):
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
### General Structures
Cell address objects are stored as `{c:C, r:R}` where `C` and `R` are 0-indexed
column and row numbers, respectively. For example, the cell address `B5` is
represented by the object `{c:1, r:4}` .
Cell range objects are stored as `{s:S, e:E}` where `S` is the first cell and
`E` is the last cell in the range. The ranges are inclusive. For example, the
range `A3:B7` is represented by the object `{s:{c:0, r:2}, e:{c:1, r:6}}` . Utils
use the following pattern to walk each of the cells in a range:
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```js
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
for(var R = range.s.r; R < = range.e.r; ++R) {
for(var C = range.s.c; C < = range.e.c; ++C) {
var cell_address = {c:C, r:R};
}
}
```
### Cell Object
| Key | Description |
| --- | ----------- |
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
| `v` | raw value (see Data Types section for more info) |
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
| `w` | formatted text (if applicable) |
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
| `t` | cell type: `b` Boolean, `n` Number, `e` error, `s` String, `d` Date |
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
| `f` | cell formula (if applicable) |
| `r` | rich text encoding (if applicable) |
| `h` | HTML rendering of the rich text (if applicable) |
| `c` | comments associated with the cell ** |
| `z` | number format string associated with the cell (if requested) |
| `l` | cell hyperlink object (.Target holds link, .tooltip is tooltip) |
| `s` | the style/theme of the cell (if applicable) |
Built-in export utilities (such as the CSV exporter) will use the `w` text if it
is available. To change a value, be sure to delete `cell.w` (or set it to
`undefined` ) before attempting to export. The utilities will regenerate the `w`
text from the number format (`cell.z`) and the raw value if possible.
2015-05-21 19:52:24 +00:00
**Note**: The .z attribute is now deprecated. Use the `.s` attribute to specify cell styles including number formats.
To specify a number format, use `s.numFmt` , e.g. `{v: 42145.822, s: { numFmt: "m/dd/yy"}}` described below.
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
### Data Types
The raw value is stored in the `v` field, interpreted based on the `t` field.
Type `b` is the Boolean type. `v` is interpreted according to JS truth tables
Type `e` is the Error type. `v` holds the number and `w` holds the common name:
| Value | Error Meaning |
| ----: | :------------ |
| 0x00 | #NULL ! |
| 0x07 | #DIV/0 ! |
| 0x0F | #VALUE ! |
| 0x17 | #REF ! |
| 0x1D | #NAME ? |
| 0x24 | #NUM ! |
| 0x2A | #N/A |
| 0x2B | #GETTING_DATA |
Type `n` is the Number type. This includes all forms of data that Excel stores
as numbers, such as dates/times and Boolean fields. Excel exclusively uses data
that can be fit in an IEEE754 floating point number, just like JS Number, so the
`v` field holds the raw number. The `w` field holds formatted text.
Type `d` is the Date type, generated only when the option `cellDates` is passed.
Since JSON does not have a natural Date type, parsers are generally expected to
store ISO 8601 Date strings like you would get from `date.toISOString()` . On
the other hand, writers and exporters should be able to handle date strings and
JS Date objects. Note that Excel disregards the timezone modifier and treats all
dates in the local timezone. js-xlsx does not correct for this error.
Type `s` is the String type. `v` should be explicitly stored as a string to
avoid possible confusion.
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
### Worksheet Object
2014-01-27 09:38:50 +00:00
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
Each key that does not start with `!` maps to a cell (using `A-1` notation)
2014-01-27 09:38:50 +00:00
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
`worksheet[address]` returns the cell object for the specified address.
2014-02-04 00:00:44 +00:00
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
Special worksheet keys (accessible as `worksheet[key]` , each starting with `!` ):
- `ws['!ref']` : A-1 based range representing the worksheet range. Functions that
work with sheets should use this parameter to determine the range. Cells that
are assigned outside of the range are not processed. In particular, when
writing a worksheet by hand, be sure to update the range. For a longer
discussion, see < http: / / git . io / KIaNKQ >
2014-08-26 17:40:04 +00:00
Functions that handle worksheets should test for the presence of `!ref` field.
If the `!ref` is omitted or is not a valid range, functions are free to treat
the sheet as empty or attempt to guess the range. The standard utilities that
ship with this library treat sheets as empty (for example, the CSV output is an
empty string).
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
When reading a worksheet with the `sheetRows` property set, the ref parameter
will use the restricted range. The original range is set at `ws['!fullref']`
- `ws['!cols']` : array of column properties objects. Column widths are actually
stored in files in a normalized manner, measured in terms of the "Maximum
Digit Width" (the largest width of the rendered digits 0-9, in pixels). When
parsed, the column objects store the pixel width in the `wpx` field, character
width in the `wch` field, and the maximum digit width in the `MDW` field.
- `ws['!merges']` : array of range objects corresponding to the merged cells in
the worksheet. Plaintext utilities are unaware of merge cells. CSV export
will write all cells in the merge range if they exist, so be sure that only
the first cell (upper-left) in the range is set.

The following properties are currently used when generating an XLSX file, but not yet parsed:
- `ws['!rowBreaks']` : array of row break points, e.g. `[16,32]`
- `ws['!colBreaks']` : array of col break points, e.g. `[8,16]`
2015-12-05 02:53:47 +00:00
- `ws['!pageSetup']` : `{scale: '100', orientation: 'portrait'||'landscape'}

### Workbook Object
`workbook.SheetNames` is an ordered list of the sheets in the workbook
`wb.Sheets[sheetname]` returns an object representing the worksheet.
2016-03-08 17:57:04 +00:00
`wb.Props` is an object storing the standard properties. The following properties are currently used when
generating an XLSX file, but not yet parsed:
2015-12-05 04:15:03 +00:00
- `title`
- `subject`
- `description`
- `keywords`
- `creator`
`wb.Custprops` stores custom properties. Since the XLS standard properties deviate from the XLSX
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
standard, XLS parsing stores core properties in both places. .

## Parsing Options
2013-04-20 16:22:32 +00:00
2014-02-07 10:53:40 +00:00
The exported `read` and `readFile` functions accept an options argument:

2014-02-12 06:09:42 +00:00
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
- `cellFormula` option only applies to formats that require extra processing to
parse formulae (XLS/XLSB).
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
- Even if `cellNF` is false, formatted text will be generated and saved to `.w`
2014-02-13 06:22:42 +00:00
- In some cases, sheets may be parsed even if `bookSheets` is false.
2014-02-14 06:25:46 +00:00
- `bookSheets` and `bookProps` combine to give both sets of information
2014-02-15 05:08:18 +00:00
- `Deps` will be an empty object if `bookDeps` is falsy
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
- `bookFiles` behavior depends on file type:
* `keys` array (paths in the ZIP) for ZIP-based formats
* `files` hash (mapping paths to objects representing the files) for ZIP
* `cfb` object for formats using CFB containers
2014-02-19 03:03:28 +00:00
- `sheetRows-1` rows will be generated when looking at the JSON object output
(since the header row is counted as a row when parsing the data)
2014-04-03 22:51:54 +00:00
- `bookVBA` merely exposes the raw vba object. It does not parse the data.
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
- `cellDates` currently does not convert numerical dates to JS dates.
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
- Currently only XOR encryption is supported. Unsupported error will be thrown
for files employing other encryption methods.
2014-02-07 10:53:40 +00:00
2014-02-13 06:22:42 +00:00
The defaults are enumerated in bits/84_defaults.js
2013-04-20 16:22:32 +00:00
2014-05-16 00:33:34 +00:00
## Writing Options
The exported `write` and `writeFile` functions accept an options argument:
| Option Name | Default | Description |
| :---------- | ------: | :---------- |
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
| cellDates | false | Store dates as type `d` (default is `n` ) |
2014-05-16 00:33:34 +00:00
| bookSST | false | Generate Shared String Table ** |
| bookType | 'xlsx' | Type of Workbook ("xlsx" or "xlsm" or "xlsb") |
2016-03-08 18:26:42 +00:00
| showGridLines | true | Show grid lines on all pages (note capital L) |
2015-12-04 14:53:43 +00:00
| tabSelected | '1' | Initial tab selected |
2014-05-16 00:33:34 +00:00
- `bookSST` is slower and more memory intensive, but has better compatibility
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
with older versions of iOS Numbers
2014-05-16 00:50:55 +00:00
- `bookType = 'xlsb'` is stubbed and far from complete
2014-05-16 00:33:34 +00:00
- The raw data is the only thing guaranteed to be saved. Formulae, formatting,
2014-05-28 18:31:33 +00:00
and other niceties may not be serialized (pending CSF standardization)
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
- `cellDates` only applies to XLSX output and is not guaranteed to work with
third-party readers. Excel itself does not usually write cells with type `d`
so non-Excel tools may ignore the data or blow up in the presence of dates.
2016-03-08 17:57:04 +00:00
- showGridLines and tabSelected are currently used when generating an XLSX file but not yet parse.
2014-05-16 00:33:34 +00:00
2015-03-09 13:59:31 +00:00
## Cell Styles
Cell styles are specified by a style object that roughly parallels the OpenXML structure. The style object has five
top-level attributes: `fill` , `font` , `numFmt` , `alignment` , and `border` .
| Style Attribute | Sub Attributes | Values |
| :-------------- | :------------- | :------------- | :----- |
2015-03-09 14:04:34 +00:00
| fill | patternType | `"solid"` or `"none"` |
2015-03-09 14:05:20 +00:00
| | fgColor | `COLOR_SPEC`
| | bgColor | `COLOR_SPEC`
2015-03-09 14:04:34 +00:00
| font | name | `"Calibri"` // default
| | sz | `"11"` // font size in points
2015-03-09 14:05:20 +00:00
| | color | `COLOR_SPEC`
2015-03-28 17:12:54 +00:00

| | | `"0.00%"` // string matching a built-in format, see StyleBuilder.SSF
| | | `"0.0%"` // string specifying a custom format
| | | `"0.00%;\\(0.00%\\);\\-;@"` // string specifying a custom format, escaping special characters
2015-05-21 19:52:24 +00:00
| | | `"m/dd/yy"` // string a date format using Excel's format notation
2015-03-09 14:04:34 +00:00
| alignment | vertical | `"bottom"||"center"||"top"`
2016-03-08 17:57:04 +00:00
| | horizontal | `"left"||"center"||"right"`
2015-05-08 13:09:20 +00:00
| | wrapText | `true || false`
2015-05-21 19:52:24 +00:00
| | readingOrder | `2` // for right-to-left
2015-03-12 13:54:59 +00:00
| | textRotation | Number from `0` to `180` or `255` (default is `0` )
| | | `90` is rotated up 90 degrees
| | | `45` is rotated up 45 degrees
| | | `135` is rotated down 45 degrees
| | | `180` is rotated down 180 degrees
| | | `255` is special, aligned vertically
2015-03-09 14:04:34 +00:00
| border | top | `{ style: BORDER_STYLE, color: COLOR_SPEC }`
| | bottom | `{ style: BORDER_STYLE, color: COLOR_SPEC }`
| | left | `{ style: BORDER_STYLE, color: COLOR_SPEC }`
| | right | `{ style: BORDER_STYLE, color: COLOR_SPEC }`
| | diagonal | `{ style: BORDER_STYLE, color: COLOR_SPEC }`
| | diagonalUp | `true||false`
| | diagonalDown | `true||false`
2015-03-09 13:59:31 +00:00
2015-03-13 03:47:02 +00:00
**COLOR_SPEC**: Colors for `fill` , `font` , and `border` are specified as objects, either:
2015-03-12 13:52:30 +00:00
* `{ auto: 1}` specifying automatic values
2015-03-09 13:59:31 +00:00
* `{ rgb: "FFFFAA00" }` specifying a hex ARGB value
* `{ theme: "1", tint: "-0.25"}` specifying an integer index to a theme color and a tint value (default 0)
2015-03-12 13:52:30 +00:00
* `{ indexed: 64}` default value for `fill.bgColor`
2015-03-09 13:59:31 +00:00
2015-03-13 03:47:02 +00:00
**BORDER_STYLE**: Border style is a string value which may take on one of the following values:
2015-03-09 13:59:31 +00:00
* `thin`
2015-03-09 14:04:34 +00:00
* `medium`
* `thick`
* `dotted`
2015-03-09 13:59:31 +00:00
* `hair`
* `dashed`
* `mediumDashed`
* `dashDot`
* `mediumDashDot`
* `dashDotDot`
* `mediumDashDotDot`
* `slantDashDot`
2015-03-13 03:47:02 +00:00
Borders for merged areas are specified for each cell within the merged area. So to apply a box border to a merged area of 3x3 cells, border styles would need to be specified for eight different cells:
* left borders for the three cells on the left,
* right borders for the cells on the right
* top borders for the cells on the top
* bottom borders for the cells on the left
2014-01-27 09:38:50 +00:00

## Test Files
2013-11-13 23:28:11 +00:00
Test files are housed in [another repo ](https://github.com/SheetJS/test_files ).
2013-10-30 19:26:07 +00:00
2014-05-01 00:24:27 +00:00
Running `make init` will refresh the `test_files` submodule and get the files.
2014-02-04 00:00:44 +00:00
## Testing
2015-04-02 20:32:22 +00:00
`make test` will run the node-based tests. To run the in-browser tests, clone
2014-02-04 00:00:44 +00:00
[the oss.sheetjs.com repo ](https://github.com/SheetJS/SheetJS.github.io ) and
replace the xlsx.js file (then fire up the browser and go to `stress.html` ):
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```sh
2014-02-04 00:00:44 +00:00
$ cp xlsx.js ../SheetJS.github.io
$ cd ../SheetJS.github.io
$ simplehttpserver # or "python -mSimpleHTTPServer" or "serve"
$ open -a Chromium.app http://localhost:8000/stress.html
```
2014-05-16 00:33:34 +00:00
For a much smaller test, run `make test_misc` .
2014-02-07 10:53:40 +00:00
## Contributing
2014-05-01 00:24:27 +00:00
Due to the precarious nature of the Open Specifications Promise, it is very
important to ensure code is cleanroom. Consult CONTRIBUTING.md
2014-02-07 10:53:40 +00:00
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
The xlsx.js file is constructed from the files in the `bits` subdirectory. The
build script (run `make` ) will concatenate the individual bits to produce the
script. Before submitting a contribution, ensure that running make will produce
the xlsx.js file exactly. The simplest way to test is to move the script:
2015-04-20 19:25:10 +00:00
```sh
2014-07-28 13:22:32 +00:00
$ mv xlsx.js xlsx.new.js
$ make
$ diff xlsx.js xlsx.new.js
```
2014-10-26 05:26:18 +00:00
To produce the dist files, run `make dist` . The dist files are updated in each
version release and should not be committed between versions.
