@particle-academy/holy-sheet

Node/TS port of holy-sheet — xlsx writer/reader + formula linter, isomorphic. Headless Agent API; no UI.

TSHeadless · no UI

$npm install @particle-academy/holy-sheet

Why

Agents and humans need to generate Excel workbooks programmatically without heavy dependencies, licensing friction, or opaque serialization. Libraries like ExcelJS are large; generating .xlsx from scratch is arcane. Teams rebuild validation, repair logic, and formula linting in every integration. The PHP holy-sheet solved this for server apps — now its Node/TypeScript mirror brings zero-dependency, isomorphic (browser & Node) .xlsx authoring to JavaScript, with feature parity and formula intelligence built in.

What

Agent is the structured entry point, mirroring the PHP surface: validate() for schema checking, toBytes() for universal Uint8Array generation, write() for Node file I/O, lint() for formula diagnostics, and read() / describe() for round-trip parsing. Builders like fromArray() and fromCsv() infer schemas from tabular input; validateAndRepair() fixes common errors. Exports also include lower-level primitives (Validator, Normalizer, XlsxWriter, XlsxReader, FormulaLinter) for teams needing finer control. Schema-first design ensures LLM agents author workbooks via toolDefinition() — the same JSON Schema surface the PHP version exposes.

How

Install npm install @particle-academy/holy-sheet. Then import and call: import { Agent } from "@particle-academy/holy-sheet". Pass a schema object to Agent.toBytes(schema) (browsers), await Agent.write(schema, "file.xlsx") (Node), or Agent.validate(schema) to check without writing. Schemas describe sheets, columns (with types like currency & date), rows, and aggregates — all documented in docs/ and queryable via Agent.toolDefinition() for LLM integration.

API surface

This package renders no UI surface — it is the hooks / APIs / server-side tooling described above.

@particle-academy/holy-sheet

Zero-dependency, isomorphic (browser + Node) .xlsx writer + reader + formula linter for agentic document creation. The Node/TypeScript mirror of the PHP particle-academy/holy-sheet — same schema in, same .xlsx out (feature-parity with PHP 1.2.0; the PHP package has since shipped 1.3.0, whose additions are not yet mirrored here).

import { Agent } from "@particle-academy/holy-sheet";

const schema = {
  sheets: [
    {
      name: "Sales",
      columns: [
        { header: "Region", type: "string" },
        { header: "Revenue", type: "currency", currency: "USD" },
      ],
      rows: [
        ["North", 12000],
        ["South", 9800],
      ],
      totals: { Revenue: "sum" },
    },
  ],
};

// Universal — works in the browser and Node
const bytes: Uint8Array = Agent.toBytes(schema);

// Node only
await Agent.write(schema, "sales.xlsx");

API

Agent (static) mirrors the PHP surface:

validate(schema) → structured errors {path, expected, got, value, hint}[]
toBytes(schema) → Uint8Array (universal)
write(schema, path) → {path, bytes, sheets} (Node only)
validateAndRepair(schema) → {schema, errors, repairs}
lint(schema) → formula problems {sheet, address, formula, error, hint}[]
fromArray(rows, headers?, sheetName?, options?) → schema
fromCsv(csvOrPath, options?) → schema
describe(pathOrBytes) → schema (round-trip reader)
toolDefinition() → JSON Schema for LLM tool-use
version() → string
