HyperFormula is an open source, spreadsheet-like calculation engine ⚡

Description

HyperFormula allows you to perform spreadsheet-like calculations in your
web applications. It is written in TypeScript and supports all major
JavaScript frameworks. You can use it in a browser or as a service with
Node.js as your back-end technology.

The engine comes with a built-in, localized
library of functions
grouped into different categories, and covers most user-triggered actions
such as CRUD operations,
undo/redo,
and clipboard operations.
It also supports the use of cross-sheet references,
named expressions,
different data types,
and custom functions.

Getting started

Install the library from npm:

 npm install hyperformula

Once properly installed, you can use it like this:

 import { HyperFormula } from 'hyperformula';

// define the options
const options = {
  licenseKey: 'gpl-v3',
};

// define the data
const data = [['10', '20', '30', '=SUM(A1:C1)']];

// build an instance with defined options and data 
const hfInstance = HyperFormula.buildFromArray(data, options);

// call getCellValue to get the calculation results
const mySum = hfInstance.getCellValue({ col: 3, row: 0, sheet: 0 });

// print the result in the browser's console
console.log(mySum);

• Computation notebooks
• Data grid components
• Business logic builders
• Forms and form builders
• Spreadsheets
• Online calculators
