## README

# XLSX writer

  Simple XLSX writer. Reverse-engineered from sample XLSX files.
  
  [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/rubenv/node-xlsx-writer.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/rubenv/node-xlsx-writer)

## Dependency
  xlsx-writer is dependent libzip-devel (Fedora etc.) or libzip-dev (Ubuntu etc.).
  If you got any error when you try npm install, try the following:

```bash
# Ubuntu/Debian:
apt-get install libzip-dev

# Fedora/CentOS/RHEL:
yum install libzip-devel
```


## Usage
  
  You can install the latest version via npm:
  
    $ npm install --save xlsx-writer

  Require the module:

    var xlsx = require('xlsx-writer');

  Write a spreadsheet:

    var data = [
        {
            "Name": "Bob",
            "Location": "Sweden"
        },
        {
            "Name": "Alice",
            "Location": "France"
        }
    ];

    xlsx.write('mySpreadsheet.xlsx', data, function (err) {
        // Error handling here
    });

  This will write a spreadsheet like this:

    Name    | Location
    --------+---------
    Bob     | Sweden
    Alice   | France

  In other words: The key names are used for the first row (headers),
  The values are used for the columns. All field names should be present
  in the first row.

## Advanced usage

  You can also use the full API manually. This allows you to build the
  spreadsheet incrementally:

    var XlsxWriter = require('xlsx-writer');

    var writer = new XlsxWriter('mySpreadsheet.xlsx');

    // Pass the number of rows and columns:
    writer.prepare(2, 2, function (err) {
        if (err) {
            throw err;
        }

        // Add some rows
        writer.addRow({
            "Name": "Bob",
            "Location": "Sweden"
        });
        writer.addRow({
            "Name": "Alice",
            "Location": "France"
        });

        // Finalize the spreadsheet
        writer.pack(function (err) {
            if (err) {
                console.log('Something went wrong!');
            } else {
                console.log('All done!');
            }
        });
    });

## Contributing

  In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding
  style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality.

  All source-code is written in CoffeeScript and is located in the `src`
  folder. Do not edit the generated files in `lib`, they will get overwritten
  (and aren't included in git anyway).

  You can build and test your code using [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/). The
  default task will clean the source, compiled it and run the tests.
