Column width support

I've implemented a basic columns width feature that searches for columns config in data.sheet.cols and generates XML according to Microsoft documentation
const data = { filename: 'report', sheet: { data: [ [{ value: 'Test', type: 'string' }, { value: 1000, type: 'number' }] ], cols: [{ width: 150 }, { width: 60 }] } };
As a result this config returns XML as shown below:
<cols><col min="1" max="1" width="25" /><col min="2" max="2" width="10" /></cols>
Pull Request is coming..

@egeriis @Nopzen Hey all, any chance that we could get a timeline on @TrancePaul 's PR potentially being accepted and merged? This definitely would be a nice-to-have.

I would really like to see this merged.

The purpose of zipcelx is to create valid XLSX files in the browser, with minimal footprint.

There have been loads of feature requests, but each of those would add weight to said footprint. Considering the surprising amount of request for additional features. I've iterated many times that I find that the proper solution is something that enables more features, but does not add to the footprint of the basic zipcelx build. That may be a plug-in structure or something else, I'm open to suggestions.

Adding features one-by-one to the core of zipcelx will likely not be accepted. Unless that feature is so basic that it's likely to be used by the vast majority of the zipcelx consumers.

I truly appreciate all the effort you're all putting into these requests, even writing code to put up PRs, but it's clearly communicated in the README and in many other issues that the goal is minimal footprint.

@egeriis, how about a plugins support, at least? Just so the additional functionality can be added manually, without the unneeded forks and excessive functionality of js-xlsx, which you suggest to use.

[egeriis]

@Raiondesu That goes perfectly along with what I've been envisioning from all these requests. I haven't needed it though, so I haven't put in time myself to add that.

@TrancePaul Could you please tell me how to adjust column width for now?

@duola8789 look at pool request I created? #52

[duola8789]

@TrancePaul thanks

[ncabelin]

thanks for this package, but I don't understand how column width is not a basic feature though, strings and numbers get broken into new lines most of the time. At least having the ability to set widths should be something a majority would use imho.

I'll quote myself 🙂

No talk about basic features. Purpose is minimal footprint to create valid XLSX.

Again, some kind of plugin support to allow for opt-in features would be stellar. And I welcome community contribution and are willing to review any PR attempting to bring on a stable and scalable implementation.
