While working with this lovely repository, I came across a special use-case. I needed to create multiple Excel Spreadsheets and bundle them to one zip file to be downloaded by the user on the client side. This created an obvious issue since the sheets get downloaded automatically, so I created this pull request.
This pull request adds the ability to decide whether to download the Excel file or emit a blob. If the prop
emitBlobis set to true, then the code will emit a blob, rather than download when the generate method is fired. This gives the ability to create multiple components and loop through them to generate the blobs and then bundle them to one file.But going beyond my use-case, it will also give the users the ability to process the blob or do something else with it, for instance resend the blob to another API or other processing feature on the blob.
