Gatsby is a framework for creating websites. It uses React components for page
templates and GraphQL for loading data.
[`gatsby-transformer-excel`](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-transformer-excel/)
is a transformer that generates GraphQL nodes for each row of each worksheet.
The plugin is officially supported by the Gatsby team. The plugin documentation
includes examples and more detailed usage instructions.
:::note
`gatsby-transformer-excel` is maintained by the Gatsby core team and all bugs
should be directed to the main Gatsby project. If it is determined to be a bug
in the parsing logic, issues should then be raised with the SheetJS project.
:::
:::caution
`gatsby-transformer-excel` uses an older version of the library. It can be
overridden through a `package.json` override in the latest versions of NodeJS:
<pre><code parentName="pre" {...{"className": "language-json"}}>{`\
{
"overrides": {
"xlsx": "https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz"
}
}`}
</code></pre>
:::
## GraphQL details
`gatsby-transformer-excel` generates nodes for each data row of each worksheet.
Under the hood, it uses [`sheet_to_json`](/docs/api/utilities#array-output)
to generate row objects using the headers in the first row as keys.
![pres.xlsx](pathname:///pres.png)
Assuming the file name is `pres.xlsx` and the data is stored in "Sheet1", the
following nodes will be created:
```js
[
{ Name: "Bill Clinton", Index: 42, type: "PresXlsxSheet1" },
{ Name: "GeorgeW Bush", Index: 43, type: "PresXlsxSheet1" },
{ Name: "Barack Obama", Index: 44, type: "PresXlsxSheet1" },
{ Name: "Donald Trump", Index: 45, type: "PresXlsxSheet1" },
{ Name: "Joseph Biden", Index: 46, type: "PresXlsxSheet1" },
]
```
The type is a proper casing of the file name concatenated with the sheet name.
The following query pulls the `Name` and `Index` fields from each row:
```graphql
{
allPresXlsxSheet1 { # "all" followed by type
edges {
node { # each line in this block should be a field in the data
Name
Index
}
}
}
}
```
## GatsbyJS Demo
:::note
2023-04-07 08:30:20 +00:00
This demo was tested on 2023 April 06 against `create-gatsby@3.8.0`. The
generated project used `gatsby@5.8.1` and `react@18.2.0`.

:::
### Project setup
1) Run `npm init gatsby -- -y sheetjs-gatsby` to create the template site.
2) Follow the on-screen instructions for starting the local development server:
```bash
cd sheetjs-gatsby
npm run develop
```
Open a web browser to the displayed URL (typically `http://localhost:8000/`)
3) Edit `package.json` and add the highlighted lines in the JSON object:
<pre><code parentName="pre" {...{"className": "language-json"}}>{`\
{
// highlight-start
"overrides": {
"xlsx": "https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz"
},
// highlight-end
"name": "sheetjs-gatsby",
"version": "1.0.0",
`}
</code></pre>
4) Install the library and plugins:
<pre><code parentName="pre" {...{"className": "language-bash"}}>{`\
npm i --save https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz
npm i --save gatsby-transformer-excel gatsby-source-filesystem
`}
</code></pre>
2023-04-07 08:30:20 +00:00
5) Make a `src/data` directory, download <https://sheetjs.com/pres.xlsx>, and
move the downloaded file into the new folder:
2023-01-15 03:36:13 +00:00
2023-04-07 08:30:20 +00:00
```bash
mkdir -p src/data
curl -L -o src/data/pres.xlsx https://sheetjs.com/pres.xlsx
```
6) Edit `gatsby-config.js` and add the following lines to the `plugins` array:
```js title="gatsby-config.js"
module.exports = {
siteMetadata: {
title: `sheetjs-gatsby`,
siteUrl: `https://www.yourdomain.tld`,
},
// highlight-start
2023-01-15 03:36:13 +00:00
plugins: [
{
resolve: `gatsby-source-filesystem`,
options: {
name: `data`,
path: `${__dirname}/src/data/`,
},
},
`gatsby-transformer-excel`,
],
2023-04-07 08:30:20 +00:00
// highlight-end
}
2023-01-15 03:36:13 +00:00
```
Stop and restart the development server process (`npm run develop`).
### GraphiQL test
7) Open the GraphiQL editor at `http://localhost:8000/___graphql`.
There is an editor in the left pane. Paste the following query into the editor:
```graphql
{
allPresXlsxSheet1 {
edges {
node {
Name
Index
}
}
}
}
```
Press the Execute Query button and data should show up in the right pane:
![GraphiQL Screenshot](pathname:///gatsby/graphiql.png)
### React page
8) Create a new file `src/pages/pres.js` that uses the query and displays the result:
```jsx title="src/pages/pres.js"
import { graphql } from "gatsby"
import * as React from "react"
export const query = graphql`query {
allPresXlsxSheet1 {
edges {
node {
Name
Index
}
}
}
}`;
const PageComponent = ({data}) => {
return ( <pre>{JSON.stringify(data, 2, 2)}</pre> );
};
export default PageComponent;
```
After saving the file, access `http://localhost:8000/pres`. The displayed JSON
is the data that the component receives:
```js
{
"allPresXlsxSheet1": {
"edges": [
{
"node": {
"Name": "Bill Clinton",
"Index": 42
}
},
// ....
```
9) Change `PageComponent` to display a table based on the data:
```jsx title="src/pages/pres.js"
import { graphql } from "gatsby"
import * as React from "react"
export const query = graphql`query {
allPresXlsxSheet1 {
edges {
node {
Name
Index
}
}
}
}`;
// highlight-start
const PageComponent = ({data}) => {
const rows = data.allPresXlsxSheet1.edges.map(r => r.node);
return ( <table>
<thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Index</th></tr></thead>
<tbody>{rows.map(row => ( <tr>
<td>{row.Name}</td>
<td>{row.Index}</td>
</tr> ))}</tbody>
</table> );
};
// highlight-end
export default PageComponent;
```
Going back to the browser, `http://localhost:8000/pres` will show a table:
![Data in Table](pathname:///gatsby/table1.png)
### Live refresh
10) Open the file `src/data/pres.xlsx` in Excel or LibreOffice or Numbers.
Add a new row at the end of the file:
![New Row in File](pathname:///gatsby/pres2.png)
Save the file and notice that the table has refreshed with the new data:
![Updated Table](pathname:///gatsby/table2.png)
### Static site
11) Stop the development server and run `npm run build`. Once the build is
finished, the display will confirm that the `/pres` route is static:
```
Pages
┌ src/pages/404.js
│ ├ /404/
│ └ /404.html
├ src/pages/index.js
│ └ /
└ src/pages/pres.js
└ /pres/
╭────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ │
│ (SSG) Generated at build time │
│ D (DSG) Deferred static generation - page generated at runtime │
│ ∞ (SSR) Server-side renders at runtime (uses getServerData) │
│ λ (Function) Gatsby function │
│ │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
```
The built page will be placed in `public/pres/index.html`. Open the page with a
text editor and search for "SheetJS" to verify raw HTML was generated:
```html
<tr><td>SheetJS Dev</td><td>47</td></tr>
```
