Browser builds (click to show)
The complete single-file version is generated at dist/xlsx.full.min.js
A slimmer build is generated at dist/xlsx.mini.min.js. Compared to full build:
- codepage library skipped (no support for XLS encodings)
- XLSX compression option not currently available
- no support for XLSB / XLS / Lotus 1-2-3 / SpreadsheetML 2003
- node stream utils removed
Webpack and Browserify builds include optional modules by default. Webpack can
be configured to remove support with resolve.alias:
/* uncomment the lines below to remove support */
resolve: {
alias: { "./dist/cpexcel.js": "" } // <-- omit international support
}
With npm:
$ npm install xlsx
With bower:
$ bower install js-xlsx
dist/xlsx.extendscript.js is an ExtendScript build for Photoshop and InDesign
that is included in the npm package. It can be directly referenced with a
#include directive:
#include "xlsx.extendscript.js"
Internet Explorer and ECMAScript 3 Compatibility (click to show)
For broad compatibility with JavaScript engines, the library is written using
ECMAScript 3 language dialect as well as some ES5 features like Array#forEach.
Older browsers require shims to provide missing functions.
To use the shim, add the shim before the script tag that loads xlsx.js:
<!-- add the shim first -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="shim.min.js"></script>
<!-- after the shim is referenced, add the library -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="xlsx.full.min.js"></script>
The script also includes IE_LoadFile and IE_SaveFile for loading and saving
files in Internet Explorer versions 6-9. The xlsx.extendscript.js script
bundles the shim in a format suitable for Photoshop and other Adobe products.
