I did also try

rm -rf node-modules npm clean cache --force npm install

But none of them did not solve my problem

Node version : v10.8.0 npm version : 6.2.0

Answer 1

我使用yarn add xlsx --save下载了 xlsx 模块并解决了问题。

Answer 2

I've read tons of related topics and tried everything. But in my case this helped: In Webpack config in externals replace { "../xlsx.js": "var _XLSX" } with { "../xlsx": "var _XLSX" }

I was stuck in this issue like 1 week, The problem is when you want to use any package that are using export excel, they are using fs is short for file system. A browser doesn't have any.

Therefore, it is almost impossible export an excel file from reactboilerplate in front end, I did handle it by using node-excel-export then write an API for that like this:

 export const exportIssues = (req, res) => { const styles = { headerDark: { fill: { fgColor: { rgb: 'FF000000' } }, font: { color: { rgb: 'FFFFFFFF' }, sz: 14, bold: true, underline: true } } }; //Here you specify the export structure const issueSpecification = { HousingManager: { // <- the key should match the actual data key displayName: 'Housing manager', // <- Here you specify the column header headerStyle: styles.headerDark, // <- Header style width: 120 // <- width in pixels }, CompanyName: { // <- the key should match the actual data key displayName: 'Company name', // <- Here you specify the column header headerStyle: styles.headerDark, // <- Header style width: 120 // <- width in pixels }, HousingManagerEmail: { // <- the key should match the actual data key displayName: 'Housing manager email', // <- Here you specify the column header headerStyle: styles.headerDark, // <- Header style width: 120 // <- width in pixels } } const issueData = [ {HousingManager:'sss', CompanyName: 'xxx' , HousingManagerEmail:'xx@x.com'}, {HousingManager:'sss', CompanyName: 'xxx' , HousingManagerEmail:'xx@x.com'}, ] const report = excel.buildExport( [ // <- Notice that this is an array. Pass multiple sheets to create multi sheet report { name: 'Issues', // <- Specify sheet name (optional) specification: issueSpecification, // <- Report specification data: issueData // <-- Report data } ] ); // You can then return this straight res.set("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=report.xlsx"); res.set("Content-type", "application/vnd.ms-excel") res.attachment('report.xlsx'); // This is sails.js specific (in general you need to set headers) return res.send(report); };

Then call this function in frontend:

 exportIssues = (e) =>{

    axios.get('APIURL',{
      responseType: 'blob',
    })
    .then((response) => {
      download(response.data, "Issues.xlsx", "application/vnd.ms-excel");
    })
  };

I have found the solutions.

Please replace the following code in ods.js

if(typeof XLSX !== 'undefined') return XLSX.utils;
if(typeof module !== "undefined" && typeof require !== 'undefined') 
{
try 
{ 
    return require('./' + 'xlsx').utils; 
} 
catch(e) 
{ 
    try 
    { 
         return require('./' + 'xlsx').utils; 
    } 
    catch(ee) 
    { 
        return require('./xlsx').utils; 
    } 
 }
 throw new Error("Cannot find XLSX utils"); 
};
