Building a Custom Solution for Dynamic Excel Data Import

Integrating dynamic Excel files directly into our database, with data flowing seamlessly into our mobile app, posed a unique challenge. With no direct method available, we developed a custom Node.js (Express) plugin tailored to meet this specific need.

Here’s how we achieved it:

Flexible Field Mapping

Our solution allows dynamic mapping of database fields to the columns of any selected Excel file, giving us the versatility to handle varying file structures effortlessly.

Chunk-Based Data Processing :

Large datasets can often cause bottlenecks. To optimize performance, we implemented a chunk-based processing mechanism that allows data to be imported in segments, ensuring stability and efficiency without overloading the system.

Real-Time Database Sync

Once processed, the data is securely stored in our database and made instantly available in our app, giving users real-time access to the most updated information.

This custom plugin has allowed us to take control of large, dynamic data imports and provide a seamless, scalable experience for our users—ultimately raising the bar for data integration within our app.
