Status

• Plugin target: wasm32-wasip1
• Working formats: CSV, Excel (.xlsx, .xls)
• Pending: Parquet preview

Docs

• API docs: https://docs.rs/zellij-sheets
• Repository: https://github.com/CromboJambo/zellij-sheets

Build

Build the native CLI:

cargo build

Build the Zellij plugin:

cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip1

The plugin artifact is:

target/wasm32-wasip1/release/zellij-sheets.wasm

Install In Zellij

Add the plugin to your Zellij config:

plugins {
    zellij-sheets location="file:/home/youruser/path/to/zellij-sheets/target/wasm32-wasip1/release/zellij-sheets.wasm"
}

Then use it in a layout and pass the file path through plugin configuration:

layout {
    pane {
        plugin location="zellij-sheets" {
            input "/absolute/path/to/data.csv"
        }
    }
}

An example layout is included at layouts/spreadsheet.kdl.

CLI Usage

The native binary renders a plain-text preview and is useful for quick local checks:

cargo run -- --input /absolute/path/to/data.csv

Keys

• Up / Down: move selection
• PageUp / PageDown: move by page
• Home / End: jump to start/end
• q or Ctrl-C: close the plugin

Notes

• The plugin requests hard-drive access and remaps the configured file path through /host/..., matching Zellij's host filesystem model.
• The shared data layer was rebuilt to be wasm-safe, so the plugin and CLI now use the same lightweight grid model.
