Node.js: create an excel file with multiple tabs.



This article is a sample code to generate an excel file with multiple tabs using excel4node module.

Install: npm i excel4node

Let's see the sample code,

var excel = require('excel4node');

// Create a new instance of a Workbook class
var workbook = new excel.Workbook();

// Add Worksheets to the workbook
var worksheet = workbook.addWorksheet('Buy order types');
var worksheet1 = workbook.addWorksheet('Sell order types');

// Style for headers
var style = workbook.createStyle({
  font: {
    color: '#EA3A14',
    size: 18
  },
  numberFormat: '$#,##0.00; ($#,##0.00); -'
});

var styleForData = workbook.createStyle({
  font: {
    color: '#47180E',
    size: 12
  },
  alignment: {
    wrapText: true,
    horizontal: 'center',
  },
  numberFormat: '$#,##0.00; ($#,##0.00); -'
});

let buyOrderTypes=[
{name:"buy",id:"1",comment:"Normal Buy Order"},

{name:"sip",id:"2",comment:"Sip Buy Order"},

{name:"buy",id:"3",comment:"ETF Buy Order"},
]

let sellOrderTypes=[
  {name:"sell",id:"1",comment:"Normal Sell Order"},

  {name:"emergencysell",id:"2",comment:"Emergency sell order"},
  
  {name:"coin",id:"3",comment:"Coin orders"},
  {name:"jewellery",id:"4",comment:"Jewellery orders"},

]


//Tab 1 headers
worksheet.cell(1,1).string('Type').style(style);
worksheet.cell(1,2).string('Id').style(style);
worksheet.cell(1,3).string('Description').style(style);


//Tab 2 headers
worksheet1.cell(1,1).string('Type').style(style);
worksheet1.cell(1,2).string('Id').style(style);
worksheet1.cell(1,3).string('Description').style(style);

//Some logic
function generateExcelSheet(array,worksheet){
  let row=2;//Row starts from 2 as 1st row is for headers.
  for(let i in array){
    let o=1;
    //This depends on numbers of columns to fill.
    worksheet.cell(row,o).string(array[i].name).style(styleForData);
    worksheet.cell(row,o+1).string(array[i].id).style(styleForData);
    worksheet.cell(row,o+2).string(array[i].comment).style(styleForData);

    row=row+1;
  }
}

generateExcelSheet(buyOrderTypes,worksheet);

generateExcelSheet(sellOrderTypes,worksheet1)
workbook.write('Excel.xlsx');

So let's start with this use-case, Suppose you have 300 screenshot images in your mobile which has an email attribute that you need for some reason like growing your network or for email marketing. To get an email from all these images manually into CSV or excel will take a lot of time. So now we will check how to automate this thing.

Now the client wanted it to install the program on 25 windows machine and his budget was really low. So it was also not possible for me to install node.js for 25 machines and then install the required dependency for each one. One of the solution: While I was searching for an easy solution I found this amazing npm module pkg . This module can make your node.js app work like plug and play type.
