does inserting images work ?

[craig-harbottle]

Hi, thanks for the nice tool 🙂. Having an issue with inserting images though. Can someone confirm if inserting pictures is currently working ? Have tried the example code here : https://ghiscoding.gitbook.io/excel-builder-vanilla/cookbook/inserting-pictures (assuming the last param requires a base64 string) . And a bit suspicious that there's no example for this in the demos page here : https://ghiscoding.github.io/excel-builder-vanilla/#/getting-started 😅 Cheers

To be frank, I actually have no ideas if it works or not and there's no example because I'm not sure how I would do that in a local Vite demo. I never really tried that feature because I have no actual use for it (my typical usage is to export data from a grid).

What I did was to simply copy over the old docs that you can find here which he used RequireJS to import the images (I wrote my docs with a guess of what that would look like in Vite with import but I could be wrong) and the code all came from the original excel-builder project which like I said above, I haven't really tried myself. If you find that there's issues with the docs and/or the lib code, then feel free to contribute to the project, otherwise I'm afraid I can't help much more. There wasn't much more info on the original project either

Thanks for getting back to me and for the info. See you got another related question! 😅 Will take a look at the original and if I can get it working or contribute, I'll report back. Cheers

provided a possible solution, I wrote it here first but I think it's better to write it up in the opened issue, so I moved it as this issue comment. I have a good feeling that you'll get somewhere closer with this approach. Cheers
