Sheet API - rows and cells

[knownasilya]

Would be nice to have an API like:

wb.createSheet('Abutters', options) // default styles and other options
  .row(options) // default options for row, cells inherit these options unless overwritten
    .cell(value, options) 
    .cell(value, options)
  .row() // 1 empty row
  .rowOffset(2) // 2 empty rows
  .row(value, options) // merged
    .cellOffset(5) // 5 empty cells
    .cell(value)
  .row(options)
    .cells([1, 2, 3]) // 3 cells with values only, work well with default row options
  .finalize();

Or something similar. This could make it open to things like currencyCell(value, format) or other cell types.

Could also do:

var options = {
  cellTemplates: {
    warningCell: {
      style: {
        font: {
          bold: true
        },
        fill: {
          fgColor: { rgb: 'FFFF0000' }
        }
      }
    }
  }
};

wb.createSheet('Abutters', options)
  .row()
    .warningCell('Important: Do this!')
  .row()
    .cell('Eat your breakfast!')
  .finalize();

Agree, that's a great idea.

I made my own little wrapper for basic table like spreadsheets with multiple sheets and headers:
