[SheetJS ](https://sheetjs.com ) is a JavaScript library for reading and writing
data from spreadsheets.
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
2023-11-19 05:23:07 +00:00
This demo uses Angular and SheetJS to process and generate spreadsheets. We'll
explore how to load SheetJS in Angular projects and compare common state models
and data flow strategies.

Angular tooling uses native NodeJS modules. There are a number of issues when
trying to run Angular projects with different NodeJS versions. These issues
should be directed to the Angular project.

[The "Frameworks" section ](/docs/getting-started/installation/frameworks ) covers
2022-08-24 00:51:18 +00:00
installation with `pnpm` and other package managers.
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
The library can be imported directly from JS or TS code with:
```js
import { read, utils, writeFile } from 'xlsx';
```
## Internal State
The various SheetJS APIs work with various data shapes. The preferred state
depends on the application.

Angular 17 broke backwards compatibility with projects using Angular 2 - 16.
**Despite the Angular turmoil, SheetJS plays nice with each version of Angular**.
When relevant, code snippets for Angular 17 and Angular 2 - 16 are included. The

### Array of Objects
Typically, some users will create a spreadsheet with source data that should be
2023-11-19 05:23:07 +00:00
loaded into the site. This sheet will have known columns.
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
2023-11-19 05:23:07 +00:00
#### State
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
2024-04-26 04:16:13 +00:00
The example [presidents sheet ](https://docs.sheetjs.com/pres.xlsx ) has one
header row with "Name" and "Index" columns. The natural JS representation is an
object for each row, using the values in the first rows as keys:
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
2024-04-12 01:04:37 +00:00
< table >
< thead > < tr > < th > Spreadsheet< / th > < th > State< / th > < / tr > < / thead >
< tbody > < tr > < td >
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
2023-11-19 05:23:07 +00:00
![`pres.xlsx` data ](pathname:///pres.png )
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
2023-11-19 05:23:07 +00:00
< / td > < td >
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
```js
[
{ Name: "Bill Clinton", Index: 42 },
{ Name: "GeorgeW Bush", Index: 43 },
{ Name: "Barack Obama", Index: 44 },
{ Name: "Donald Trump", Index: 45 },
{ Name: "Joseph Biden", Index: 46 }
]
```
2023-11-19 05:23:07 +00:00
< / td > < / tr > < / tbody > < / table >
This data is typically stored as an array of objects in the component class:
```ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component ({ /* ... component configuration options ... */ })
export class AppComponent {
/* the component state is an array of objects */
// highlight-next-line
rows: any[] = [ { Name: "SheetJS", Index: 0 }];
}
```
When the spreadsheet header row is known ahead of time, row typing is possible:
```ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
interface President {
Name: string;
Index: number;
}
@Component ({ /* ... component configuration options ... */ })
export class AppComponent {
/* the component state is an array of presidents */
// highlight-next-line
rows: President[] = [ { Name: "SheetJS", Index: 0 }];
}
```
:::caution pass
The types are informative. They do not enforce that worksheets include the named
columns. A runtime data validation library should be used to verify the dataset.
When the file header is not known in advance, `any` should be used.
:::
#### Updating State
The SheetJS [`read` ](/docs/api/parse-options ) and [`sheet_to_json` ](/docs/api/utilities/array#array-output )
functions simplify state updates. They are best used in the function bodies of
`ngOnInit` [^2] and event handlers.
A `ngOnInit` method can download and update state when a person loads the site:
```mermaid
flowchart LR
url[(Remote\nFile)]
ab[(Data\nArrayBuffer)]
wb(SheetJS\nWorkbook)
ws(SheetJS\nWorksheet)
aoo(array of\nobjects)
state((component\nstate))
url --> |fetch\n\n| ab
ab --> |read\n\n| wb
wb --> |wb.Sheets\nselect sheet| ws
ws --> |sheet_to_json\n\n| aoo
aoo --> |setPres\nfrom `setState` | state
```
```ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { read, utils } from 'xlsx';
interface President { Name: string; Index: number };
@Component ({ /* ... component configuration options ... */ })
export class AppComponent {
rows: President[] = [ { Name: "SheetJS", Index: 0 }];
ngOnInit(): void { (async() => {
2024-04-26 04:16:13 +00:00
/* Download from https://docs.sheetjs.com/pres.numbers */
const f = await fetch("https://docs.sheetjs.com/pres.numbers");
2023-11-19 05:23:07 +00:00
const ab = await f.arrayBuffer();
// highlight-start
/* parse workbook */
const wb = read(ab);
/* generate array of objects from first worksheet */
const ws = wb.Sheets[wb.SheetNames[0]]; // get the first worksheet
const data = utils.sheet_to_json< President > (ws); // generate objects
/* update data */
this.rows = data;
// highlight-end
})(); }
}
```
#### Rendering Data
Components typically render HTML tables from arrays of objects. The `<tr>` table
row elements are typically generated by mapping over the state array, as shown
in the example template.
:::caution pass
Angular 2 - 16 recommended using `ngFor` [^3]. Angular 17 no longer supports the
storied syntax, instead opting for a `@for` block reminiscent of JavaScript[^4].
:::
< Tabs groupId = "ngVer" >
< TabItem value = "2" label = "Angular 2-16" >
```html title="Example Template for displaying arrays of objects (Angular 2-16)"
< div class = "content" role = "main" > < table >
2023-12-05 03:46:54 +00:00

// highlight-start
< tr * ngFor = "let row of rows" >
< td > {{row.Name}}< / td >
< td > {{row.Index}}< / td >
< / tr >
// highlight-end
< / tbody >
< / table > < / div >
```
< / TabItem >
< TabItem value = "17" label = "Angular 17+" >
```html title="Example Template for displaying arrays of objects (Angular 17+)"
< div class = "content" role = "main" > < table >
2023-12-05 03:46:54 +00:00
< thead > < tr > < th > Name< / th > < th > Index< / th > < / tr > < / thead >
2023-11-19 05:23:07 +00:00
< tbody >
// highlight-start
@for (row of rows; track $index) { < tr >
< td > {{row.Name}}< / td >
< td > {{row.Index}}< / td >
< / tr > }
// highlight-end
< / tbody >
< / table > < / div >
```
< / TabItem >
< / Tabs >
#### Exporting Data
The [`writeFile` ](/docs/api/write-options ) and [`json_to_sheet` ](/docs/api/utilities/array#array-of-objects-input )
functions simplify exporting data. They are best used in the function bodies of
event handlers attached to button or other elements.
A callback can generate a local file when a user clicks a button:
```mermaid
flowchart LR
state((component\nstate))
ws(SheetJS\nWorksheet)
wb(SheetJS\nWorkbook)
file[(XLSX\nexport)]
state --> |json_to_sheet\n\n| ws
ws --> |book_new\nbook_append_sheet| wb
wb --> |writeFile\n\n| file
```
```ts title="src/app/app.component.ts"
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { utils, writeFileXLSX } from 'xlsx';
interface President { Name: string; Index: number };
@Component ({ /* ... component configuration options ... */ })
export class AppComponent {
rows: President[] = [ { Name: "SheetJS", Index: 0 }];
/* get state data and export to XLSX */
onSave(): void {
/* generate worksheet from state */
// highlight-next-line
const ws = utils.json_to_sheet(this.rows);
/* create workbook and append worksheet */
const wb = utils.book_new();
utils.book_append_sheet(wb, ws, "Data");
/* export to XLSX */
writeFileXLSX(wb, "SheetJSAngularAoO.xlsx");
}
}
```
#### Complete Component
This complete component example fetches a test file and displays the contents in
a HTML table. When the export button is clicked, a callback will export a file:

### HTML
The main disadvantage of the Array of Objects approach is the specific nature
of the columns. For more general use, passing around an Array of Arrays works.
2024-07-16 01:40:51 +00:00
However, this does not handle merge cells[^5] well!
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
The `sheet_to_html` function generates HTML that is aware of merges and other
worksheet features. The generated HTML does not contain any `<script>` tags,
and should therefore be safe to pass to an `innerHTML` -bound variable, but the
2024-07-16 01:40:51 +00:00
`DomSanitizer` approach[^6] is strongly recommended:

### Rows and Columns
Some data grids and UI components split worksheet state in two parts: an array
of column attribute objects and an array of row objects. The former is used to
generate column headings and for indexing into the row objects.
The safest approach is to use an array of arrays for state and to generate
2022-08-23 03:20:02 +00:00
column objects that map to A1-Style column headers.
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
`ngx-datatable` uses `prop` as the key and `name` for the column label:
```js
/* rows are generated with a simple array of arrays */
this.rows = utils.sheet_to_json(worksheet, { header: 1 });
/* column objects are generated based on the worksheet range */
const range = utils.decode_range(ws["!ref"]||"A1");
this.columns = Array.from({ length: range.e.c + 1 }, (_, i) => ({
/* for an array of arrays, the keys are "0", "1", "2", ... */
prop: String(i),
/* column labels: encode_col translates 0 -> "A", 1 -> "B", 2 -> "C", ... */
name: XLSX.utils.encode_col(i)
}));
```

2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
2022-10-19 10:05:59 +00:00
This is a known Angular problem.
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
To work around this, [`SheetJSAngular.zip` ](pathname:///angular/SheetJSAngular.zip )
is a skeleton project designed to play nice with each Angular version.
:::
### Strategies
#### Internal State
This demo uses an array of arrays as the internal state:
```ts
export class SheetJSComponent {
data: any[][] = [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ];
// ...
}
```
Nested `ngFor` in a template can loop across the rows and cells:
```html
< table class = "sjs-table" >
< tr * ngFor = "let row of data" >
< td * ngFor = "let val of row" > {{val}}< / td >
< / tr >
< / table >
```
#### Reading Data
For legacy deployments, the best ingress is a standard HTML INPUT file element:
```html
< input type = "file" ( change ) = " onFileChange ( $ event ) " multiple = "false" / >
```
In the component, the event is a standard file event. Using a `FileReader` has
broad support compared to the modern `Blob#arrayBuffer` approach:
```ts
onFileChange(evt: any) {
/* wire up file reader */
const target: DataTransfer = < DataTransfer > (evt.target);
if (target.files.length !== 1) throw new Error('Cannot use multiple files');
const reader: FileReader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = (e: any) => {
/* read workbook */
const ab: ArrayBuffer = e.target.result;
// highlight-next-line
const wb: WorkBook = read(ab);
/* grab first sheet */
const wsname: string = wb.SheetNames[0];
const ws: WorkSheet = wb.Sheets[wsname];
/* save data */
// highlight-next-line
this.data = < AOA > (utils.sheet_to_json(ws, {header: 1}));
};
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(target.files[0]);
}
```
#### Writing Data
The demo uses an HTML5 button in the template:
```html
< button ( click ) = " export ( ) " > Export!< / button >
```
In the component, `aoa_to_sheet` is used to generate the worksheet:
```ts
export(): void {
/* generate worksheet */
const ws: WorkSheet = utils.aoa_to_sheet(this.data);
/* generate workbook and add the worksheet */
const wb: WorkBook = utils.book_new();
utils.book_append_sheet(wb, ws, 'Sheet1');
/* save to file */
writeFile(wb, "SheetJS.xlsx");
}
```
### SystemJS
2024-03-14 08:25:08 +00:00
The default `angular-cli` configuration requires no additional configuration.
2022-08-19 02:26:17 +00:00
Some deployments use the SystemJS loader, which does require configuration.
2023-10-19 05:23:55 +00:00
[The SystemJS demo ](/docs/demos/frontend/bundler/systemjs ) includes the
required settings.
