async-xlsx
=================

Adds async support to node-xlsx.

Quick start
-----------

Parsing a xlsx from file/buffer
``javascript
var xlsx = require('async-xlsx');

// ------------------ Synchronous ----------------------------
// Covert excel file to JSON object
var obj = xlsx.parse(__dirname + '/myFile.xlsx');
// Convert excel file to buffer
var buffer = xlsx.parse(fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/myFile.xlsx'));
// Returns a buffer
var data = [[1,2,3],[true, false, null, 'sheetjs'],['foo','bar',new Date('2014-02-19T14:30Z'), '0.3']];
var buffer = xlsx.build([{name: "mySheetName", data: data}]);

// ------------------ Asynchronous ----------------------------
// Transform an Excel file to JSON or an 2D array (async)
xlsx.parseFileAsync(__dirname + '/myFile.xlsx', {options}, function(parsedObject){
// Callbacks happens when the Excel data is fully loaded and ready for use
});

// ------------------ Asynchronous ----------------------------
// Easily build an Excel document from a 2D array (async)
xlsx.buildAsync( [{name: "SheetName", data: [[2D][array]] }], {options}, function(error, xlsBuffer) {
if(!error){
// Buffer is ready.
}
});

`

Building a plist from an object
`javascript
var xlsx = require('async-xlsx');

var data = [[1,2,3],[true, false, null, 'sheetjs'],['foo','bar',new Date('2014-02-19T14:30Z'), '0.3']];
var buffer = xlsx.build([{name: "mySheetName", data: data}]); // returns a buffer

`
