ParcelJS is a module bundler.
SheetJS is a JavaScript library for reading and writing data from spreadsheets.
This demo uses ParcelJS and SheetJS to export data. We'll explore how to bundle SheetJS in a site using ParcelJS and how to export data to spreadsheets.
:::note
This demo was last tested on 2023 October 21 against parcel 2.10.0
:::
Integration Details
The "Frameworks" section covers installation with Yarn and other package managers.
After installing the SheetJS module in a RollupJS project, import statements
can load relevant parts of the library:
import { read, utils, writeFileXLSX } from 'xlsx';
:::warning Parcel Bug
Errors of the form Could not statically evaluate fs call stem from a Parcel
bug1. Upgrade to Parcel version 1.5.0 or later.

Complete Example
This demo follows the Export Example.
- Initialize a new project:
mkdir sheetjs-parceljs
cd sheetjs-parceljs
npm init -y
- Save the following to index.html:
<body>
<h3>SheetJS <span id="vers"></span> export demo</h3>
<button id="xport">Click to Export!</button>
<!-- the script tag must be marked as `type="module"` -->
<!-- highlight-next-line -->
<script type="module">
// ESM-style import from "xlsx"
// highlight-next-line
import { utils, version, writeFileXLSX } from 'xlsx';
document.getElementById("vers").innerText = version;
document.getElementById("xport").onclick = async() => {
  /* fetch JSON data and parse */
  const url = "https://sheetjs.com/data/executive.json";
  const raw_data = await (await fetch(url)).json();
  /* filter for the Presidents */
  const prez = raw_data.filter(row => row.terms.some(term => term.type === "prez"));
  /* flatten objects */
  const rows = prez.map(row => ({
    name: row.name.first + " " + row.name.last,
    birthday: row.bio.birthday
  }));
  /* generate worksheet and workbook */
  const worksheet = utils.json_to_sheet(rows);
  const workbook = utils.book_new();
  utils.book_append_sheet(workbook, worksheet, "Dates");
  /* fix headers */
  utils.sheet_add_aoa(worksheet, [["Name", "Birthday"]], { origin: "A1" });
  /* calculate column width */
  const max_width = rows.reduce((w, r) => Math.max(w, r.name.length), 10);
  worksheet["!cols"] = [ { wch: max_width } ];
  /* create an XLSX file and try to save to Presidents.xlsx */
  writeFileXLSX(workbook, "Presidents.xlsx");
};
</script>
<body>
- Install the SheetJS NodeJS module:
Development
- Run the ParcelJS development server:
npx -y parcel@2.10.0 index.html
The process will print a URL:
Server running at http://localhost:1234
- Access the URL from the previous step (typically http://localhost:1234) in a web browser and click the "Click to Export!" button to generate a file.
Production
- Edit package.jsonand remove the following line:
   "main": "index.js"
- Build the production site:
npx -y parcel@2.10.0 build index.html
The production site will be stored in the dist folder
- Start a local web server and serve the distfolder:
npx http-server dist
Access the displayed URL (typically http://localhost:8080/) in a web browser.
Click on "Click here to export" to generate a file.
