This is a Worpress plugin that adds a spreadsheets block from a spreadsheet file. For installation and usage see the README.txt from the plugin folder.

This plugin consists of a vanilla part and a React part. The latter from the @wordpress/* packages for building a Gutenberg block. The vanilla part is the responsible for parsing the spreadsheet and drawing the table(s).

With Yarn installed run yarn (optionally add --ignore-engines).

Running yarn start will run both the vanilla Webpack as well as the @wordpress build with watchers. ... The vanilla version will run on localhost:9000

The main dependencies are two spreadsheet parsers: xlsx and hyperformula. The former parses the spreadsheet binary, the latter is responsible for recalculating formula values.

Initialisation of a spreadheet component is done by checking for parent elements matching [data-spreadsheet-block]. The attribute value should be a JSON configuration of the type SpreadsheetData (see type definition in source).

Wordpress still uses SVN for their plugin directory. For deployment to that directory some helper scripts are created. With yarn distribute you copy the current state of the plugin to trunk. With yarn distribute --tag you copy the current version to tag. Note that keeping SVN trunk and tags up to date with GIT tags is a manual process.
