Load the Workbook with specific System Culture Info via JavaScript and C++

Possible Usage Scenarios

Earlier, you had to change the culture info of the entire thread to deal with numbers and dates in a particular culture format, but now Aspose.Cells for JavaScript via C++ provides the LoadOptions.CultureInfo property which you can use to load your workbook with specific culture info without changing the culture info of the entire thread.

Load the Workbook with specific System Culture Info

The following sample code shows how to load the workbook with specific system culture info to deal with dates.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Aspose.Cells Example</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Example Title</h1>
        <input type="file" id="fileInput" accept=".xls,.xlsx,.csv,.html,.htm" />
        <button id="runExample">Run Example</button>
        <a id="downloadLink" style="display: none;">Download Result</a>
        <div id="result"></div>
    </body>

    <script src="aspose.cells.js.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        const { Workbook, SaveFormat } = AsposeCells;
        
        AsposeCells.onReady({
            license: "/lic/aspose.cells.enc",
            fontPath: "/fonts/",
            fontList: [
                "arial.ttf",
                "NotoSansSC-Regular.ttf"
            ]
        }).then(() => {
            console.log("Aspose.Cells initialized");
        });

        // Default HTML content (from the original JavaScript readable stream)
        const defaultHtmlContent = "<html><head><title>Test Culture</title></head><body><table><tr><td>10-01-2016</td></tr></table></body></html>";

        // Culture formatter as in the original code
        const culture = new Intl.NumberFormat("en-GB", {
            minimumFractionDigits: 2,
            maximumFractionDigits: 2
        });

        document.getElementById('runExample').addEventListener('click', async () => {
            const fileInput = document.getElementById('fileInput');
            let uint8Arr;

            if (fileInput.files.length) {
                const file = fileInput.files[0];
                const arrayBuffer = await file.arrayBuffer();
                uint8Arr = new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer);
            } else {
                const encoder = new TextEncoder();
                uint8Arr = encoder.encode(defaultHtmlContent);
            }

            // Instantiate Workbook from the HTML bytes (Aspose.Cells can load HTML content)
            const workbook = new Workbook(uint8Arr);

            // Save the workbook to XLSX format and provide a download link
            const outputData = workbook.save(SaveFormat.Xlsx);
            const blob = new Blob([outputData]);
            const downloadLink = document.getElementById('downloadLink');
            downloadLink.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
            downloadLink.download = 'output.xlsx';
            downloadLink.style.display = 'block';
            downloadLink.textContent = 'Download Excel File';

            document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = '<p style="color: green;">Workbook created from HTML content. Click the download link to get the generated Excel file.</p>';
        });
