getTokensFromRange	Extract the tokens from a range. `jspreadsheet.helpers.getTokensFromRange(range: String) => Array`
getRangeFromTokens	Get the range from an array of tokens. `jspreadsheet.helpers.getRangeFromTokens(tokens: Array) => String`
getCoordsFromRange	Get the coordinates from a range string. `jspreadsheet.helpers.getCoordsFromRange(range: string, adjust?: boolean) => [number,number,number,number]`
getRangeFromCoords	Get the range string such as A1:A9 from an array of numbers `jspreadsheet.helpers.getRangeFromCoords(range: [number,number,number,number]) => String`
createFromTables	Extract the configuration to create a new spreadsheet from a static HTML element. `jspreadsheet.helpers.createFromTable(element: HTMLElement, options: Object) => Object`
parseCSV	Transform a CSV string into an array. `jspreadsheet.helpers.parseCSV(data: String, delimiter: String) => Array`

Data Grid Helpers Example

<div id="spreadsheet"></div>

<script>
let worksheets = jspreadsheet(document.getElementById('spreadsheet'), {
    worksheets: [{
        minDimensions: [6,6]
    }]
});

// Returns A1
jspreadsheet.helpers.getCellNameFromCoords(0,0);
// Returns (4) [1, 0, 2, 3]
jspreadsheet.helpers.getCoordsFromRange('B1:C4');
// Also works with the worksheet instance. Returns 1,1
let coords = worksheets[0].helpers.getCoordsFromCellName('B2');
</script>

    // Also works with the worksheet instance. Returns 1,1
