javascript - Export to CSV button in react table

Question

Looking for a way to add an "Export to CSV" button to a react-table which is an npmjs package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-table).

I need to add a custom button for exporting the table data to an excel sheet in the csv or xls format?

Answer 1

Take a look at this npm library - https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-csv

For example -

import {CSVLink, CSVDownload} from 'react-csv';

const csvData =[
  ['firstname', 'lastname', 'email'] ,
  ['John', 'Doe' , '[email protected]'] ,
  ['Jane', 'Doe' , '[email protected]']
];
<CSVLink data={csvData} >Download me</CSVLink>
// or
<CSVDownload data={csvData} target="_blank" />
