ViteJS is a modern build tool for generating static sites.

SheetJS is a JavaScript library for reading and writing data from spreadsheets.

This demo uses ViteJS and SheetJS to export data. We'll explore how to add SheetJS to a site using ViteJS and how to export data to spreadsheets.

:::info pass

The Vite section of the Content demo covers asset loaders. They are ideal for static sites pulling data from sheets at build time.

:::

:::note pass

This demo focuses on integration details with the ViteJS bundler.

The demos follow the "Export Tutorial", which covers SheetJS library usage in more detail.

:::note Tested Deployments

This demo was tested in the following environments:

ViteJS Date
5.2.8 2024-04-13
4.5.3 2024-04-13
3.2.10 2024-04-13

Integration Details

The "Frameworks" section covers installation with Yarn and other package managers.

After installing the SheetJS module in a ViteJS project, import statements can load relevant parts of the library.

import { read, utils, writeFileXLSX } from 'xlsx';

:::info pass

ViteJS requires third-party libraries to provide additional package.json metadata. SheetJS library version 0.18.10 added the required metadata.

It is strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest version

Complete Example

  1. Create a new ViteJS project:
npm create vite@latest sheetjs-vite -- --template vue-ts
cd sheetjs-vite
npm i
  1. Add the SheetJS dependency:

{\ npm i --save https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/xlsx-${current}.tgz}

  1. Replace src\components\HelloWorld.vue with:
<script setup lang="ts">
import { version, utils, writeFileXLSX } from 'xlsx';

interface President {
  terms: { "type": "prez" | "viceprez"; }[];
  name: { first: string; last: string; }
  bio: { birthday: string; }
}

async function xport() {
/* fetch JSON data and parse */
const url = "https://sheetjs.com/data/executive.json";
const raw_data: President[] = await (await fetch(url)).json();

/* filter for the Presidents */
const prez = raw_data.filter(row => row.terms.some(term => term.type === "prez"));

/* sort by first presidential term */
prez.forEach(row => row.start = row.terms.find(term => term.type === "prez").start);
prez.sort((l,r) => l.start.localeCompare(r.start));

/* flatten objects */
const rows = prez.map(row => ({
  name: row.name.first + " " + row.name.last,
  birthday: row.bio.birthday
}));

/* generate worksheet and workbook */
const worksheet = utils.json_to_sheet(rows);
const workbook = utils.book_new();
utils.book_append_sheet(workbook, worksheet, "Dates");

/* fix headers */
utils.sheet_add_aoa(worksheet, [["Name", "Birthday"]], { origin: "A1" });

/* calculate column width */
const max_width = rows.reduce((w, r) => Math.max(w, r.name.length), 10);
worksheet["!cols"] = [ { wch: max_width } ];

/* create an XLSX file and try to save to Presidents.xlsx */
writeFileXLSX(workbook, "Presidents.xlsx");
}

</script>

  1. Start the development server:
npm run dev
  1. Open a web browser to http://localhost:5173/ and click the export button.

  2. Build the production site:

npx vite build
  1. Verify the new site by running a local web server in the dist folder:
npx http-server dist
  1. Access the displayed URL (typically http://localhost:8080) in a web browser and click the export button.
