Im trying to convert .xlsx file to .csv file before i send it to the API (because it accepts only .csv files) ;
I am using package xlsx and i got this function that converts it for me but problem is that this function will make the user download the file, and i don't want that i just want that it saves it kinda in like a object so i can use it only for the api (and don't let know the user that its converted ).
Here is code:
file.arrayBuffer().then(res => {
let data = new Uint8Array(res)
let workbook = XLSX.read(data, {type: "array"})
let first_sheet_name = workbook.SheetNames[0]
let worksheet = workbook.Sheets[first_sheet_name]
let jsonData = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(worksheet, {raw: false, defval: null})
let fileName;
if (file) {
fileName = file?.name.substring(0, file?.name?.indexOf("."))
}
let new_worksheet = XLSX.utils.json_to_sheet(jsonData);
let new_workbook = XLSX.utils.book_new();
XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(new_workbook, new_worksheet, "csv_sheet")
getRandomRows(jsonData)
XLSX.writeFile(new_workbook, fileName + ".csv")
})
Was wondering if there are other options too.
I fixed it this way :
let dataToSheet = XLSX.utils.json_to_sheet(data)
const dataFileCSV = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_csv(dataToSheet, {raw: false, defval: null});
let blob = new Blob(["\ufeff", dataFileCSV]);
let fileBlob = new File([blob], "name");
Based on Readme from xlsx try to use writeFileAsync or just write instead of writeFile as it force browser to start download
