> **node.js html to xlsx transformation**

Transformation only supports html table and several basic style properties. No images or charts are currently supported.

## Usage

```js
const util = require('util')
const fs = require('fs')
const conversionFactory = require('html-to-xlsx')
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer')
const chromeEval = require('chrome-page-eval')({ puppeteer })
const writeFileAsync = util.promisify(fs.writeFile)

const conversion = conversionFactory({
  extract: async ({ html, ...restOptions }) => {
    const tmpHtmlPath = path.join('/path/to/temp', 'input.html')

await writeFileAsync(tmpHtmlPath, html)

const result = await chromeEval({
      ...restOptions,
      html: tmpHtmlPath,
      scriptFn: conversionFactory.getScriptFn()
    })

const tables = Array.isArray(result) ? result : [result]

return tables.map((table) => ({
      name: table.name,
      getRows: async (rowCb) => {
        table.rows.forEach((row) => {
          rowCb(row)
        })
      },
      rowsCount: table.rows.length
    }))
  }
})

async function run () {
  const stream = await conversion(`<table><tr><td>cell value</td></tr></table>`)

stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('/path/to/output.xlsx'))
}

run()
```

## Supported properties
- `background-color` - cell background color
- `color` - cell foreground color
- `border-left-style` - as well as positions will be transformed into excel cells borders
- `text-align` - text horizontal align in the excel cell
- `vertical-align` - vertical align in the excel cell
- `width` - the excel column will get the highest width, it can be little bit inaccurate because of pixel to excel points conversion
- `height` - the excel row will get the highest height
- `font-size` - font size
- `colspan` - numeric value that merges current column with columns to the right
- `rowspan` - numeric value that merges current row with rows below.
- `overflow` - the excel cell will have text wrap enabled if this is set to `scroll` or `auto`.

## Constructor options

```js
const conversionFactory = require('html-to-xlsx')
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer')
const chromeEval = require('chrome-page-eval')({ puppeteer })
const conversion = conversionFactory({ /*[constructor options here]*/})
```

- `extract` **function** **[required]** - a function that receives some input (an html file path and a script) and should return some data after been evaluated the html passed. the input that the function receives is:
  ```js
  {
    html: <file path to a html file>,
    scriptFn: <string that contains a javascript function to evaluate in the html>,
    timeout: <time in ms to wait for the function to complete, the function should use this value to abort any execution when the time has passed>,
    /*options passed to `conversion` will be propagated to the input of this function too*/
  }
  ```
- `tmpDir` **string** - the directory path that the module is going to use to save temporary files needed during the conversion. defaults to [`require('os').tmpdir()`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v8.x/docs/api/os.html#os_os_tmpdir)
- `timeout` **number** - time in ms to wait for the conversion to complete, when the timeout is reached the conversion is cancelled. defaults to `10000`

## Conversion options

```js
const fs = require('fs')
const conversionFactory = require('html-to-xlsx')
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer')
const chromeEval = require('chrome-page-eval')({ puppeteer })
const conversion = conversionFactory({
  extract: async ({ html, ...restOptions }) => {
    const tmpHtmlPath = path.join('/path/to/temp', 'input.html')

await writeFileAsync(tmpHtmlPath, html)

const result = await chromeEval({
      ...restOptions,
      html: tmpHtmlPath,
      scriptFn: conversionFactory.getScriptFn()
    })

const tables = Array.isArray(result) ? result : [result]

return tables.map((table) => ({
      name: table.name,
      getRows: async (rowCb) => {
        table.rows.forEach((row) => {
          rowCb(row)
        })
      },
      rowsCount: table.rows.length
    }))
  }
})

async function main () {
  const stream = await conversion(/* html */, /* extract options */)
}

main()
```

- `html` **string** - the html source that will be transformed to an xlsx, the html should contain a table element
- `extractOptions` **object** - additional options to pass to the specified `extract` function
