[ESBuild](https://esbuild.github.io/) is a fast module bundler for JavaScript.
It combines scripts and libraries into simple scripts for browsers and NodeJS.
[SheetJS](https://sheetjs.com) is a JavaScript library for reading and writing
data from spreadsheets.
This demo uses ESBuild and SheetJS to export data. We'll explore two workflows:
- ["Browser"](#browser) explores how to import SheetJS libraries in a script and
bundle with ESBuild for browser use.
- ["NodeJS"](#nodejs) explores how to import SheetJS libraries in a script and
bundle with ESBuild for NodeJS use.

The [ESBuild section of the Content demo](/docs/demos/static/esbuild) covers
loaders. They are ideal for static sites pulling data from sheets at build time.

This demo focuses on integration details with the ESBuild bundler.
The demos follow the ["Export Tutorial"](/docs/getting-started/examples/export),
which covers SheetJS library usage in more detail.

## Integration Details
[The "Frameworks" section](/docs/getting-started/installation/frameworks) covers
installation with Yarn and other package managers.
## Browser
ESBuild will bundle the SheetJS ECMAScript Module build:
```js
import { read, utils, writeFileXLSX } from 'xlsx';
```
:::note pass
The `xlsx.mjs` source file uses a subset of ES6 that `esbuild` understands and
is able to transpile for older browsers.
:::
Assuming the primary source file is `in.js`, the following command will bundle
the script and generate `out.js`:
```bash
refresh
2023-12-05 03:46:54 +00:00
npx -y esbuild@0.19.8 in.js --bundle --outfile=out.js
chakra-hb
2023-10-20 09:35:44 +00:00
```
### Browser Demo
0) Prepare a blank project:
```bash
mkdir sheetjs-esbrowser
cd sheetjs-esbrowser
npm init -y
```
1) Install the tarball using a package manager:
<Tabs groupId="pm">
<TabItem value="npm" label="npm">
<CodeBlock language="bash">{`\
npm i --save https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz`}
</CodeBlock>
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="pnpm" label="pnpm">
<CodeBlock language="bash">{`\
pnpm install supports --save
2024-03-20 07:05:29 +00:00
pnpm install --save https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz`}
chakra-hb
2023-10-20 09:35:44 +00:00
</CodeBlock>
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="yarn" label="Yarn" default>
<CodeBlock language="bash">{`\
yarn add https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz`}
</CodeBlock>
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
2) Download [`esbrowser.js`](pathname:///esbuild/esbrowser.js) and move to the
project folder:
```bash
curl -LO https://docs.sheetjs.com/esbuild/esbrowser.js
```
3) Create a small HTML page that loads the script. Save to `index.html`:
```html title="index.html"
<body><script src="esb.browser.js"></script></body>
```
4) Create bundle:
```bash
refresh
2023-12-05 03:46:54 +00:00
npx -y esbuild@0.19.8 esbrowser.js --bundle --outfile=esb.browser.js
chakra-hb
2023-10-20 09:35:44 +00:00
```
5) Start a local HTTP server:
```bash
npx http-server .
```
Access the displayed URL (typically `http://localhost:8080`) with a web browser.
It should attempt to download `Presidents.xlsx`
## NodeJS
ESBuild will bundle the SheetJS ECMAScript Module build:
```js
import { read, utils, write } from 'xlsx';
```
:::caution pass
To read and write files on the local filesystem using the SheetJS `readFile` and
`writeFile` methods[^1], the `fs` module must be manually added:
```js
import { set_fs, readFile } from 'xlsx';
import * as fs from 'fs';
set_fs(fs);
/* read pres.numbers in the same directory as the script */
const wb = readFile("pres.numbers");
```
:::
Assuming the primary source file is `in.js`, the following command will bundle
the script for NodeJS and generate `out.js`:
```bash
refresh
2023-12-05 03:46:54 +00:00
npx -y esbuild@0.19.8 in.js --bundle --platform=node --outfile=out.js
chakra-hb
2023-10-20 09:35:44 +00:00
```
### NodeJS Demo
:::info pass
This demo script uses `fetch` and requires Node 18+.
:::
0) Prepare a blank project:
```bash
mkdir sheetjs-esbnode
cd sheetjs-esbnode
npm init -y
```
1) Install the tarball using a package manager:
<Tabs groupId="pm">
<TabItem value="npm" label="npm">
<CodeBlock language="bash">{`\
npm i --save https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz`}
</CodeBlock>
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="pnpm" label="pnpm">
<CodeBlock language="bash">{`\
pnpm install supports --save
2024-03-20 07:05:29 +00:00
pnpm install --save https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz`}

<TabItem value="yarn" label="Yarn" default>
<CodeBlock language="bash">{`\
yarn add https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz`}
</CodeBlock>
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
2) Download [`esbnode.js`](pathname:///esbuild/esbnode.js) and move to the
project folder:
```bash
curl -LO https://docs.sheetjs.com/esbuild/esbnode.js
```
3) Create bundle:
```bash
refresh
2023-12-05 03:46:54 +00:00
npx -y esbuild@0.19.8 esbnode.js --bundle --platform=node --outfile=esb.node.js
chakra-hb
2023-10-20 09:35:44 +00:00
```
4) Run the bundle:
```bash
node esb.node.js
```
The process will generate `Presidents.xlsx` in the project directory. Open the
file in a spreadsheet editor.
[^1]: The SheetJS [`readFile`](/docs/api/parse-options) and [`writeFile`](/docs/api/write-options) methods use the NodeJS `fs` module when available. It is not automatically loaded in the ECMAScript Module builds.
