Title: Import Multiple sheets from xls
Post by: bigyin on August 18, 2021, 11:52:41 AM
Want to load in default properties/metadata for selected elements and views from a .xlsx (allows no technical admin)

These arrays will contain the property names and default values for elements, so there will be a number of sheets.

Not being a developer, would be grateful for the best approach and libraries to use within Jarchi

Hi,

For this you'll need some javascript library to read XLSX files. One common lib for that is https://sheetjs.com.

I did test it some years ago and I was not able to use it with jArchi and thus switched to a lib able to only create XLSX (that was my use-case). But now that jArch comes with GraalVM, I think most compatibility issues should be solved and you should be able to use it now.

But, this obviously requires some javascript development skills to make it work :-(
