Excel file parser/builder that relies on [js-xlsx](https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx).



## Usage

### Examples

1. Parsing a xlsx from file/buffer, outputs an array of worksheets

```js
import xlsx from 'node-xlsx';

// Parse a buffer
const workSheetsFromBuffer = xlsx.parse(fs.readFileSync(`${__dirname}/myFile.xlsx`));
// Parse a file
const workSheetsFromFile = xlsx.parse(`${__dirname}/myFile.xlsx`);
```

1. Building a xlsx

```js
import xlsx from 'node-xlsx';

const data = [[1, 2, 3], [true, false, null, 'sheetjs'], ['foo', 'bar', new Date('2014-02-19T14:30Z'), '0.3'], ['baz', null, 'qux']];
var buffer = xlsx.build([{name: "mySheetName", data: data}]); // Returns a buffer
```
