## Writing Workbooks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For writing, the first step is to generate output data. The helper functions
|
||
|
|
`write` and `writeFile` will produce the data in various formats suitable for
|
||
|
|
dissemination. The second step is to actual share the data with the end point.
|
||
|
|
Assuming `workbook` is a workbook object:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- nodejs write to file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
/* output format determined by filename */
|
||
|
|
XLSX.writeFile(workbook, 'out.xlsx');
|
||
|
|
/* at this point, out.xlsx is a file that you can distribute */
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- browser generate binary blob and "download" to client
|
||
|
|
(using [FileSaver.js](https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js/) for download):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
/* bookType can be 'xlsx' or 'xlsm' or 'xlsb' or 'ods' */
|
||
|
|
var wopts = { bookType:'xlsx', bookSST:false, type:'binary' };
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var wbout = XLSX.write(workbook,wopts);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
function s2ab(s) {
|
||
|
|
var buf = new ArrayBuffer(s.length);
|
||
|
|
var view = new Uint8Array(buf);
|
||
|
|
for (var i=0; i!=s.length; ++i) view[i] = s.charCodeAt(i) & 0xFF;
|
||
|
|
return buf;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* the saveAs call downloads a file on the local machine */
|
||
|
|
saveAs(new Blob([s2ab(wbout)],{type:"application/octet-stream"}), "test.xlsx");
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
