simplegdocserver
Simple REST Server that emulates Google Docs interface using your Excel files. (currently read-only)
Installation
(requires node + npm)
npm install -g simplegdocserver
Usage
To host files from the current directory, on port 7263:
$ simplegdocserver
To use a different port, either set the PORT environment variable or pass it as an argument:
$ simplegdocserver 8000
To host from a different directory, pass a third argument or set the BASE_DIR environment variable:
$ simplegdocserver 8000 ./test_files
Interaction with Client Libraries
Using tabletop, just set the endpoint:
Tabletop.init( {
endpoint:"http://localhost:7263", // <-- adjust based on server settings
key: "myfile.xls", // <-- the actual filename
...
});
The demo directory includes a demo using mapsheet to annotate a map.
Notes
there is no caching. This is intentional: you can quickly change your data in Excel and simplegdocserver will immediately see the change.
