excel-upload

A node.js module for uploading and converting excel files into JSON.

Installing

npm install excel-upload

Requirements

• node.js -- v4.5.0 or newer

Usage

Uploading, storing and parsing files is done asynchronous and the result is returned as a Promise.

Don't forget the enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form.

Browser:

<form action="/upload-documents" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="file" name="document" />
</form>

Controller:

import uploadFile from 'excel-upload';
  
static async post(req, res, next) {
 
    const upload = await uploadFile(req, "document-name", "./uploaded", "document");
 
      res.json(upload);
  }

NOTE: Before using excel-upload, make sure you create a corresponding folder in the root where uploaded files will be stored ("./uploaded").
