You can do this in native JavaScript. You’ll have to parse your data into correct CSV format as so (assuming you are using an array of arrays for your data as you have described in the question):
const rows = [ ["name1", "city1", "some other info"], ["name2", "city2", "more info"] ]; let csvContent = "data:text/csv;charset=utf-8,"; rows.forEach(function(rowArray) { let row = rowArray.join(","); csvContent += row + "\r\n"; });
or the shorter way (using arrow functions):
const rows = [ ["name1", "city1", "some other info"], ["name2", "city2", "more info"] ]; let csvContent = "data:text/csv;charset=utf-8," + rows.map(e => e.join(",")).join("\n");
Then you can use JavaScript’s window.open
and encodeURI
functions to download the CSV file like so:
var encodedUri = encodeURI(csvContent); window.open(encodedUri);
Edit:
If you want to give your file a specific name, you have to do things a little differently since this is not supported accessing a data URI using the window.open
method. In order to achieve this, you can create a hidden <a>
DOM node and set its download
attribute as follows:
var encodedUri = encodeURI(csvContent); var link = document.createElement("a"); link.setAttribute("href", encodedUri); link.setAttribute("download", "my_data.csv"); document.body.appendChild(link); // Required for FF link.click(); // This will download the data file named "my_data.csv".
