🤖 Usage

Now, you can use it in your project:

ts
import { createSpreadsheet, spreadsheet } from 'ts-spreadsheets'

// Create a spreadsheet
const data = {
  headings: ['Name', 'Age', 'City'],
  data: [
    ['John Doe', 30, 'Los Angeles'],
    ['Jana Schmidt', 25, 'Berlin'],
    ['Bob Johnson', 35, 'London']
  ]
}

// Generate and manipulate spreadsheets

// 1. Using createSpreadsheet function
const spreadsheet = createSpreadsheet(data) // defaults to csv
const csvSpreadsheet = createSpreadsheet(data, { type: 'csv' })
const excelSpreadsheet = createSpreadsheet(data, { type: 'excel' })

// Store the spreadsheet to disk
await spreadsheet.store('output.csv')

// Create a download response
const response1 = excelSpreadsheet.download('data.xlsx') // downloads and stores as data.xlsx on your filesystem

// 2. Using spreadsheet object directly, and chain if desired
const csvContent = spreadsheet(data).generateCSV().store('output2.csv')
const csvContent2 = spreadsheet(data).csv().store('output3.csv') // same as above

const excelContent = spreadsheet(data).generateExcel()
await excelContent.store('output3.xlsx')
const response2 = await excelContent.download('output3.xlsx') // downloads and stores as output3.xlsx

// 3. Accessing raw content
const rawCsvContent = spreadsheet(data).csv().getContent()
const rawCsvContent2 = spreadsheet(data).generateCSV().getContent()
const rawExcelContent = spreadsheet(data).excel().getContent()
const rawExcelContent2 = spreadsheet(data).generateExcel().getContent()

console.log('CSV Content:', rawCsvContent)
console.log('Excel Content:', rawExcelContent)
