How to Create a Xlsx or Xls Data into MySql Row Data with Node.js, Adonis.js, and Vue.js

RMAG news

Introduction
Uploading and processing Excel files is a common requirement for many applications, especially those dealing with bulk data entry. This blog post will guide you through creating a feature to upload Excel files, process their content, and display the data in a table format using Node.js, Adonis.js, and Vue.js. We will leverage the power of these frameworks to build a robust and efficient solution.

Prerequisites
Before we start, ensure you have the following installed:

Node.js
Adonis.js CLI
Vue.js CLI

Adonis API

const MarketingData = use(“App/Models/Admins/MarketingData”);
const Database = use(“Database”);
const xlsx = require(“xlsx”);
const Helpers = use(“Helpers”);
class MarketingDataController {
async uploadExcel({ request, response }) {
try {
const excelFile = request.file(“excelfile”, {
types: [“application”],
extnames: [“xls”, “xlsx”],
size: “2mb”,
});
if (!excelFile) {
return response.status(400).json({
success: false,
message: “Please upload an Excel file”,
});
}
const filePath = Helpers.tmpPath(uploads/${new Date().getTime()}_${excelFile.clientName});
await excelFile.move(Helpers.tmpPath(“uploads”), {
name: ${new Date().getTime()}_${excelFile.clientName},
});
if (!excelFile.moved()) {
return response.status(500).json({
success: false,
message: “Error moving the file”,
error: excelFile.error(),
});
}
const workbook = xlsx.readFile(filePath);
const sheetName = workbook.SheetNames[0];
const sheet = workbook.Sheets[sheetName];
const data = xlsx.utils.sheet_to_json(sheet);
await Database.transaction(async (trx) => {
for (const record of data) {
// Check if email or phone already exists in the database
const existingRecord = await MarketingData.query()
.where(’email’, record.email)
.orWhere(‘phone’, record.phone)
.first();
// If email or phone already exists, skip inserting this record
if (existingRecord) {
console.log(Skipping record with email ‘${record.email}’ or phone ‘${record.phone}’ as it already exists in the database.);
continue;
}
// Insert the record into the database
await MarketingData.create({
name: record.name,
email: record.email,
phone: record.phone,
remarks: record.remarks,
created_at: new Date(),
updated_at: new Date(),
}, trx);
}
});
return response.status(200).json({
success: true,
message: “Data uploaded and inserted successfully”,
});
} catch (error) {
console.log(“File Read/Parse Error:”, error);
return response.status(500).json({
success: false,
message: “Server error”,
});
}
}
}
module.exports = MarketingDataController;
