sheet_to_json skips empty rows

When calling xlsx.utils.sheet_to_json(sheet, {header: 1}) I would expect to receive an array of arrays including empty rows. However the function explicitly skips out empty rows which makes it impossible to select a particular row in the results. It would be good to make this behaviour configurable.

As a workaround, I have used sheet_to_csv, which doesn’t skip rows, followed by csv-parse.

It was also not working for me until I added the ‘defval’ param: var roa = XLS.utils.sheet_to_row_object_array(workbook.Sheets[sheetName], {defval: ‘’})

I am using angular 6 and it will work on angular 5… package.json "xlsx": "^0.12.13" in File import * as XLSX from 'xlsx';

This will work on xlsx, Only one I used it on. XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(workbook.Sheets[sheetName], {header: 1, defval: null});

defval does the magic here, ‘null’ is what I want in place if I wanted empty string in place of empty cell XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(workbook.Sheets[sheetName], {header: 1, defval: ''});

defval can be any value you set.
