EtherCalc

Installation

For global installation (may need root)

npm i -g ethercalc
ethercalc

For local non-root installation

npm i
make

Or install with our Docker image, which comes with a built-in Redis server and webworker-threads support:

# Runs at port 6967
sudo docker run -d -p 6967:6967 -v /var/lib/redis:/redis:rw audreyt/ethercalc

# Runs at another port, for example 8080
sudo docker run -d -p 8080:6967 -v /var/lib/redis:/redis:rw audreyt/ethercalc

Note the use of -v flag to store the Redis database in /var/lib/redis on the host server. In Docker versions 0.4.x, the flag was called -b instead.

REST API

Note that POST endpoints accept only application/json requests, and will reject regular form posts.

GET /_/page

Fetch the page as a serialization in SocialCalc save format.

PUT /_/page

Replaces the page with a serialization in SocialCalc save format.

Also takes a CSV structure that contains the new spreadsheet's content.

POST /_

Takes a JSON structure with room and snapshot fields.

Replaces the page with a serialization in Socialtext save format. If room is not specified, returns a new page.

Also takes a CSV structure that contains the new spreadsheet's content.

POST /_/page

Takes a JSON structure with a command field (either as a string or an array of strings), or a plain-text command string.

Runs one or more commands specified in the command field.

Also takes a CSV structure that contains fields to be appended to the first column after the last row. If the row query parameter is given, insert and paste on the specified row instead.

GET /_/page/cells

Returns a JSON representation of all defined cells in the page.

GET /_/page/cells/A1

Returns a JSON representation of a single cell in the page.

GET /_/page/html

Returns a HTML rendering of the page. (GET /page.html also works.)

GET /_/page/csv

Returns a CSV rendering of the page. (GET /page.csv also works.)

URL Prefix: --basepath /path/prefix

Access Control: --key secret
