Flat Data Demo: XLSX to CSV

This demo is part of a larger Flat Data project created by GitHub OCTO. Read more about the project here.

What this demo does

This repository uses a Flat Data Action to fetch a XLSX file from an http endpoint every 15 minutes. Using a postprocessing script, Flat converts the XLSX file to a CSV file.

Inside .github/workflows/flat.yaml:

- name: Fetch data
        uses: githubocto/flat@v3
        with:
          http_url: https://www.mobileconnectivityindex.com/widgets/connectivityIndex/excel/MCI_Data_2020.xlsx
          downloaded_filename: mobile-connectivity.xlsx # The http_url gets saved and renamed in our repository as this file
          postprocess: ./postprocess.ts # A postprocessing javascript or typescript file written in Deno

Postprocessing

Refer to the Flat postprocessing library for more helper functions and examples for writing postprocessing scripts.
