gulp-spreadsheet2json

Export Excel (XLSX/XLS/ODS) with headers to json (only first spreadsheet in file).

ATTENTION!

I found a small bug with OpenOffice ODT files. If table has many columns, XLSX.js doesn't read all columns, but same table in XLS format work stabil!

Usage

First, install gulp-spreadsheet2json as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev gulp-spreadsheet2json

Then, add it to your gulpfile.js:

(function() {
    'use strict';
 
    var gulp = require('gulp'),
        rename = require("gulp-rename"),
        xls2json = require('gulp-spreadsheet2json');
 
    var spreadsheets = [
            'config/**.xlsx',
            'config/**.xls',
            'config/**.ods'
        ];
 
    gulp.task('parse:spreadsheet', function() {
        gulp.src(spreadsheets)
            .pipe(xls2json({
                headRow: 1,
                valueRowStart: 2,
                trace: false
            }))
            .pipe(rename(function(path) {
                path.extname = ".json";
            }))
            .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
    });
 
    gulp.task('default', ['parse:spreadsheet']);
 
}());
