How to set custom header names with ALASQL and XLSX

I'm exporting some tables to excel, using angular, alasql and xlsx. I'm using it as follows:

var options = {
    headers: true,
    sheetid: 'users',
    columns: [{
      columnid: 'a',
      title: 'Username'
    }, {
      columnid: 'b',
      title: 'First name'
    }, {
      columnid: 'c',
      title: 'Last name'
    }]
  };

alasql('SELECT * INTO XLSX("test.xlsx", ?) FROM ?', [options, $scope.users]);

I was expecting the columnns option to customize my table headers. But it ain't doing it.

Any clue why?

Solution

  • I managed to customize the headers by using plain SQL:

    alasql('SELECT firstName AS FirstName INTO XLSX("test.xlsx", ?) FROM ?', [options, $scope.users]);

    That worked, the header for the firstName would be FirstName.
