One of the options that is necessary when using xslx.write is the type option. According to the function write_zip_type, it must be set to base64, binary, buffer, or file, or else an error is thrown.

@tomkel you're right, it should be included in https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx/#writing-options. The possible values mirror the read functions and are listed in another issue: https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx/issues/337#issuecomment-281284479

`type`	expected input
`"base64"`	string: base64 encoding of the file
`"binary"`	string: binary encoded string (the `n`-th byte is `data.charCodeAt(n)`)
`"buffer"`	nodejs Buffer
`"file"`	string: filename that will be written and processed (nodejs only)

@SheetJSDev that table should be copied into the README
