Frameworks and Bundlers

Each standalone release package is available at https://cdn.sheetjs.com/. The NodeJS package is designed to be used with frameworks and bundlers. It is a proper ECMAScript Module release which can be optimized with developer tools.

yarn add https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-0.19.3/xlsx-0.19.3.tgz

Once installed, the library can be imported under the name xlsx:

import { read, writeFileXLSX } from "xlsx";

The "Bundlers" demo includes examples for specific bundler tools.

info

Watch the repo or subscribe to the RSS feed to be notified when new versions are released!

danger

Older releases are technically available on the public npm registry as xlsx, but the registry is out of date. The latest version on that registry is 0.18.5

This is a known registry bug

https://cdn.sheetjs.com/ is the authoritative source for SheetJS scripts.

For existing projects, the easiest approach is to uninstall and reinstall:

yarn remove xlsx
yarn add https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-0.19.3/xlsx-0.19.3.tgz

When the xlsx library is a dependency of a dependency, the overrides field in package.json can control module resolution:

package.json
{
  "overrides": {
    "xlsx": "https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-0.19.3/xlsx-0.19.3.tgz"
  }
}

Encoding support​

If Encoding support is required, cpexcel.full.mjs must be manually imported:

/* load the codepage support library for extended support with older formats  */
import { set_cptable } from "xlsx";
import * as cptable from 'xlsx/dist/cpexcel.full.mjs';
set_cptable(cptable);
