Populate field use as a column key in exceljs - node.js

I am using exceljs to prepare an Excel file. This works fine when the first-level properties of a model are used as column keys. But when the second-level property of a Model is used as a column key, the column appears blank when the excel file gets downloaded.
worksheet.columns = [
{ header: "ID", key: "_id", width: 30 }, // work
{ header: "Survey Name", key: "name", width: 30 }, // work
{ header: "Status", key: "status", width: 15 }, // work
{ header: "Survey Type", key: "survey_type.name", width: 50 } // not work
]
How can I solve this issue?

Update
I could not find any solution within exceljs. First create a copy of the array such that I bring the required sub-properties as the first-level property, and then use the new array to generate an excel sheet.

Vertical lines in pdfkit-tables in node.js

I have API that generate pdf file after saving values into database. My customer needed to generate this pdf and then send it by mail. He sended my photo of how should that pdf look like. I recreated it, it looks same as in that picture but it is hard to read because there are missing vertical lines. I looked trought docs and also tried to google, bud I did not found anyithing.
Here is how my PDF looks like:
As you can see, vertical lines are missing and because of that is harder to read.
Is there any possibility to add vertical lines?
Here is my code:
let doc = new PDFDocument({ margin: 30, size: "A4" });
doc.pipe(
fs.createWriteStream(`${problemName}_${creationDate}` + ".pdf")
);
const table = {
title:
"Zápis koordinátora " +
koordinatorName +
" zo dna " +
creationDate +
".",
divider: {
header: { disabled: true },
horizontal: { disabled: false, width: 1, opacity: 1 },
padding: 5,
columnSpacing: 10,
},
headers: [
{ width: 130, renderer: null },
{ width: 130, renderer: null },
{ width: 130, renderer: null },
{ width: 130, renderer: null },
],
rows: [
["Nazov", problemName, "", ""],
[
"Nazov staveniska (Projekt)",
constructionName,
"Na vedomie komu",
"mailing list 1",
],
[
"Vytvoril koordinator BOZP",
koordinatorName,

problemPriority,
],

["Popis", problemText],
[

],
],
};
doc.table(table, {
prepareHeader: () => doc.font("Helvetica-Bold").fontSize(8),
prepareRow: (row, indexColumn, indexRow, rectRow, rectCell) => {
doc.font("Helvetica").fontSize(8);
indexColumn === 0;
},
});
doc.end();
I am using pdfkit-table package.
Thank you all
By definition simple PDF structure is not tabular there is one cell (the page) and that one column can be subdivide into two or more rows with null spaces between the text sub columns.
That is why tables are difficult to sub[ex]tract
So adding coloured rows in one area is fairly simple to make like a table, thus to make vertical sub dividers is more difficult, However that feature was added in January 2022 https://github.com/natancabral/pdfkit-table/files/7865078/document-5.pdf
For exsample see https://github.com/natancabral/pdfkit-table/issues/16#issuecomment-1012389097

Tabulator and send data to C#

When using tabulator-tables#4.9.3
Created 2 drop down list columns with editor: "select"
Used Code:
{title: "ProductID", field: "productID", sorter: "string", minWidth: 100, width: 150, sorter: "number", editable: Editable, editor: "number", validator: "required", hozAlign: "left", editor: "select", editorParams: { values: ProductIDSelect }, formatter: "lookup" , formatterParams: ProductIDSelect },
For Example: Products and Units. This type of drop down contain Name, ID.
After choose the name and press on save button will send the data from tabulator to C# to check all data type and Inserted to the table in database Image below.
enter image description here
Before sanded data I check data array with press right click on the page choose "Inspect" getting the below image
enter image description here
Shares indicate the number between "4" and "5" string type
When matching data by C# and finds that the Integer field type and string data are incorrect

Tabulator - rowContextMenu - HowTo get which cell the mouse-rightclick is performed

Is it possible to get which cell the right-click context menu is performed with rowContextMenu?
rowContextMenu gives the data for all cells in the row, but I have not found how to get which cell the action happens.
Using contextMenu could be an option, but I want to build the columns-setup serverside as json and load the columns with
table.setColumns(columnsJson)
Setting columns contextmenu as a function is not a valid json,
columns": [
{ "title": "", "field": "age", "sorter": "string", "headerSort": false, "contextMenu": cellContextMenu}
]
And setting the "contextMenu" as a "string" fails with: error: "Uncaught TypeError: o.forEach is not a function"
columns": [
{ "title": "", "field": "age", "sorter": "string", "headerSort": false, "contextMenu": "cellContextMenu"}
]
Any tips on getting which cell the menu is trigged with rowContextMenu?
Or is there maybe a different/better solution builtin in Tabulator?
Reason for building the column setup serverside is that I want to have different context menu based on type of cell-data, and it will vary based on selection by user.

If you want to get the cell that is being clicked on then you need to use the Cell Context Menu instead as this is passed the cell component that has been clicked.
You would then need to assign the menu per cell but this is easy if you define it as an array outside the table and then reference it on each column definition using the contextMenu property:
//define cell context menu
var cellContextMenu = [
{
label:"Reset Value",
action:function(e, cell){
cell.setValue("");
}
},
]
//add header menu in column definition
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
columns:[
{title:"Name", field:"name",contextMenu:cellContextMenu},
{title:"Age", field:"age",contextMenu:cellContextMenu},
{title:"Address", field:"address",contextMenu:cellContextMenu},
]
});

Why is Tabulator textarea losing focus on every key press?

I have a simple Tablulator JS Fiddle at the link below that has 3 columns. The last column (TA Test) has both the formatter and editor set to 'textarea'. Any attempt to enter values into that field result in the cell immediately losing focus on any key press (at least I think that is what is happening). There are no console or other errors and from what I can tell all the Tabulator options are correct.
What am I missing here to make this cell editable as a textarea?
https://jsfiddle.net/gbvam5ck/2
var data = [
{
pid: 1001,
title: "Test One",
Q1: {qid: 1, value: 1},
Q2: {qid: 2, value: null},
},
{
pid: 1002,
title: "Test Two",
Q1: {qid: 1, value: 0},
Q2: {qid: 2, value: "Hello"},
},
];
var columns = [
{title: "PID", field: "pid"},
{title: "Title", field: "title"},
{title: "TA Test", field: "Q2.value",
formatter:"textarea",
editor: "textarea",
editorParams:{
elementAttributes:{
maxlength:"500",
}
},
}
];
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
index:"pid",
height: "100%",
layout: "fitData",
columns,
data: data,
});
It looks to be a bug using the textarea with the table height option set to a percentage. If you use a pixel value, then it works as expected.
I would recommend you fill out a bug report against the github project. https://github.com/olifolkerd/tabulator/issues/new?assignees=&labels=Possible+Bug&template=bug_report.md&title=
The bug report template shows you what information is needed for the bug to be easy to replicate and fix.
(If you don't have a Github account, then I can create the bug report.)

Is this consistent behavior between "select" and "autocomplete" options of Tabulator?

to replace raw values I use "lookup" feature of Tabulator.
But "select" and "autocomplete" behaves differently
var country_list = {
1: "Germany",
2: "Ukraine",
3: "Canada",
};
//Build Tabulator
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
height:"311px",
data: tabledata,
columns:[
{title:"ID", field:"id", width:40 },
{title:"Country", field:"country_id", width:130,
editor:"select",
editorParams:{values: country_list, },
formatter : "lookup",
formatterParams : country_list,
},
{title:"Country2", field:"country_id", width:130,
editor:"autocomplete",
editorParams:{values: country_list, },
formatter : "lookup",
formatterParams : country_list,
},
],
});
Try to edit Country and Country2 fields:
JSFiddle
"select" displays label, but "autocomplete" displays raw value.
Is this behavior consistent?
If yes, how to force Tabulator to hide raw value?
This is a bug, a fi has been pushed to the 4.2 branch which should be released shortly
