How to convert CSV to Excel XLSX Spreadsheet in Node.JS
Today’s tutorial will cover how to convert a CSV file into an Excel spreadsheet. No, this won’t be a time-consuming slog through the lovely affair that is file format conversion coding. Instead it will be a lightning-fast sprint through an API.
Our first task is that of client installation using npm install. This command will take care of that.
npm install cloudmersive-convert-api-client --saveAfter installation has finished, call this function.
var CloudmersiveConvertApiClient = require('cloudmersive-convert-api-client');var defaultClient = CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ApiClient.instance;// Configure API key authorization: Apikeyvar Apikey = defaultClient.authentications['Apikey'];Apikey.apiKey = 'YOUR API KEY';// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)//Apikey.apiKeyPrefix = 'Token';var apiInstance = new CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ConvertDocumentApi();var inputFile = "/path/to/file"; // File | Input file to perform the operation on.var callback = function(error, data, response) {if (error) {console.error(error);} else {console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);}};apiInstance.convertDocumentCsvToXlsx(inputFile, callback);
Done! Yup, pretty easy. This same API offers an absolute plethora of useful functions, allowing you to speed through everything from document editing to merging files.
