title: Reading Excel file using node.js
body: <p>Okay so i am using the <code>FileUploader</code> module to upload my file from angular to my <code>REST API</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var uploader = $scope.uploader = new FileUploader({
      url: api.getUrl('uploadCompetence',null)
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is sent to the following <code>POST</code> function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        router.route('/api/uploadCompetence')
          .post(function (req, res) {
  
          // This is where i want to read the file
  
              var competence = Competence.build(req.body.location);
              competence.add(function (success) {
                      res.json({message: 'quote created!'});
                  },
                  function (err) {
                      res.status(err).send(err);
                  });
          })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now my goal is to read the <code>excel</code> file and then add each row to my database.</p>
  
  <p>However im not quite sure how i can read the file from <code>Node.js</code> i have debugged my server and couldnt find the file anywhere but the the api is being called from my <code>Angular</code> application</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone push me in the right direction? :)</p>
