how to use node modules ?

[vmcopm]

Hello

I am trying to use excel4node but no success
https://www.npmjs.com/package/excel4node

in a .vue file, before export default, adding the require

const xl = require('excel4node');

on a method, the following code lines:

var wb = new xl.Workbook();
      wb.write('ExcelFile.xlsx');

the error:
workbook.js?cb67:230 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Right-hand side of ‘instanceof’ is not an object

can someone help me how to use a node module in a .vue file?

[dobbel]

import { Workbook } from 'excel4node'

let wb = new Workbook()
console.log("wb", wb)

[vmcopm]

hello @dobbel … still same error. try

wb.write(‘ExcelFile.xlsx’);

please.

@vmcopm said in how to use node modules ?:

wb.write(‘ExcelFile.xlsx’);

I suspect(from looking at the source code) that exel4node is solely a nodejs server library. So it will only run on a node js backend, like for example Express and not inside a web browser. Makes sense looking at the name of the library.
