@xlcalc/vue
A Vue 3 spreadsheet component for xlcalc workbooks: Excel in the browser, with the workbook's styles, formulas, editing, context menus, Find and Replace, data validation and outline. Wherever the component could behave differently from Excel, it follows Excel's behavior as measured by xlcalc.
The component accesses its data only through a SheetSource. Two sources are included: memorySource, an in-memory workbook for examples and tests, and localSource from @xlcalc/vue/local, which calculates an xlcalc workbook in a Web Worker and reads and writes xlsx files. A server-side source implements the same interface. MIT license.
Install
npm install @xlcalc/vue vue
npm install xlcalc # for @xlcalc/vue/local, 0.46.0 or later
At runtime the main entry point depends only on vue and does not include the calculation engine. Its types use xlcalc/contract, so a TypeScript project that uses only the main entry point installs xlcalc as a dev dependency: npm install -D xlcalc.
Quick start
<script setup lang="ts">
import { SheetView, memorySource } from '@xlcalc/vue'
import '@xlcalc/vue/style.css'
const source = memorySource({ sheets: [{ name: 'Sheet1', cells: { A1: 'Hello', B1: 42 } }] })
</script>
<template>
<SheetView :source="source" style="height: 480px" />
</template>
A workbook from an xlsx file, calculated in the browser:
import { localSource, openXlsx, saveXlsx } from '@xlcalc/vue/local'
const { book, cached } = await openXlsx(file, { locale: 'ru-RU' }) // a File from a file input or a drop
const source = localSource(book, { session: { cached } }) // <SheetView :source="source" :locale="source.locale" />
const { data } = await saveXlsx(source) // the xlsx bytes: formulas along with their values
Excel's formatting toolbar (SheetToolbar) and Format Cells dialog (FormatDialog) work with the same source; see toolbar.md.
Apart from the two required methods that read sheets and cells, every feature is an optional method of the source: without edit the sheet is read-only, without find there is no search, and so on. The interface is in English by default and in Russian with ruMessages. Colors and sizes are set by --xs-* CSS variables.
More of these, from a table the page already has to a workbook on your server, are in the quick start.
