Hello Developers 🙌

We will use xlsx package.

No more talking let's jump into the coding part.

Install xlsx package

Create a basic structure for file upload

<form>

  <input type="file" name="upload" id="upload" onChange="{readUploadFile}" />
</form>

Convert Excel file to JSON

const readUploadFile = (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  if (e.target.files) {
    const reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onload = (e) => {
      const data = e.target.result;
      const workbook = xlsx.read(data, { type: "array" });
      const sheetName = workbook.SheetNames[0];
      const worksheet = workbook.Sheets[sheetName];
      const json = xlsx.utils.sheet_to_json(worksheet);
      console.log(json);
    };
    reader.readAsArrayBuffer(e.target.files[0]);
  }
};
