The simple, easy-to-implement plugin to export HTML tables to
xlsx, xls, csv, and txt files.To use this plugin, include the jQuery library, FileSaver.js script, and TableExport.js plugin before the closing
<body> tag of your HTML document:<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="FileSaver.js"></script>
...
<script src="tableexport.js"></script>
$ bower install tableexport.js
$ npm install tableexport
Required:
Optional / Theming:
Add-Ons:
In order to provide Office Open XML SpreadsheetML Format ( .xlsx ) support, you must include the following third-party script to your project before FileSaver.js and TableExport.js.
<script src="xlsx.core.js"></script>
<script src="FileSaver.js"></script>
...
<script src="tableexport.js"></script>
Older Browsers:
To support older browsers ( Chrome < 20, Firefox < 13, Opera < 12.10, IE < 10, Safari < 6 ) include the Blob.js polyfill before the FileSaver.js script.
Until Safari provides native support for either the HTML5 download attribute or service workers, limited
xlx and xlsx support is provided by including the Blob.js polyfill, albeit the filename will always be labeled Unknown.<script src="xlsx.core.js"></script>
<script src="Blob.js"></script>
<script src="FileSaver.js"></script>
...
<script src="tableexport.js"></script>
By default, TableExport.js utilizes the Bootstrap CSS framework to deliver enhanced table and button styling. For non-Bootstrap projects, initialize with the
bootstrap property set to false.$("table").tableExport({
bootstrap: false
});
When used along with Bootstrap, there are four custom classes .xlsx, .xls, .csv, .txt providing button styling for each of the exportable filetypes.
To use the export plugin, just call:
$("table").tableExport();
Additional properties can be passed in to customize the look and feel of your tables, buttons, and exported data.
Notice that by default, TableExport will create export buttons for three different filetypes xls, csv, txt. You can choose which buttons to generate by setting the
formats property to the filetypes of your choice./* Defaults */
$("table").tableExport({
headings: true, // (Boolean), display table headings (th/td elements) in the <thead>
footers: true, // (Boolean), display table footers (th/td elements) in the <tfoot>
formats: ["xls", "csv", "txt"], // (String[]), filetype(s) for the export
fileName: "id", // (id, String), filename for the downloaded file
bootstrap: true, // (Boolean), style buttons using bootstrap
position: "bottom", // (top, bottom), position of the caption element relative to table
ignoreRows: null, // (Number, Number[]), row indices to exclude from the exported file(s)
ignoreCols: null, // (Number, Number[]), column indices to exclude from the exported file(s)
ignoreCSS: ".tableexport-ignore", // (selector, selector[]), selector(s) to exclude cells from the exported file(s)
emptyCSS: ".tableexport-empty", // (selector, selector[]), selector(s) to replace cells with an empty string in the exported file(s)
trimWhitespace: false // (Boolean), remove all leading/trailing newlines, spaces, and tabs from cell text in the exported file(s)
});
Note: to use the xlsx filetype, you must include the third-party scripts listed in the Dependencies section.
TableExport supports additional methods (update, reset and remove) to control it after creation.
/* Run plugin and save it to a variable */
var tables = $("table").tableExport();
/* update */
tables.update({
fileName: "newFile" // pass in a new set of properties
});
/* reset */
tables.reset(); // useful for a dynamically altered table
/* remove */
tables.remove(); // removes caption and buttons
Each button is assigned a default class and default content based on its respective filetype and corresponding css styles.
/* default class, content, and separator for each export type */
/* Excel Open XML spreadsheet (.xlsx) */
$.fn.tableExport.xlsx = {
defaultClass: "xlsx",
buttonContent: "Export to xlsx",
mimeType: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",
fileExtension: ".xlsx"
};
/* Excel Binary spreadsheet (.xls) */
$.fn.tableExport.xls = {
defaultClass: "xls",
buttonContent: "Export to xls",
separator: "\t",
mimeType: "application/vnd.ms-excel",
fileExtension: ".xls"
};
/* Comma Separated Values (.csv) */
$.fn.tableExport.csv = {
defaultClass: "csv",
buttonContent: "Export to csv",
separator: ",",
mimeType: "application/csv",
fileExtension: ".csv"
};
/* Plain Text (.txt) */
$.fn.tableExport.txt = {
defaultClass: "txt",
buttonContent: "Export to txt",
separator: " ",
mimeType: "text/plain",
fileExtension: ".txt"
};
Below are additional defaults to support the functionality of the plugin that.
/* default charset encoding (UTF-8) */
$.fn.tableExport.charset = "charset=utf-8";
/* default filename if "id" attribute is set and undefined */
$.fn.tableExport.defaultFileName = "myDownload";
/* default class to style buttons when not using bootstrap */
$.fn.tableExport.defaultButton = "button-default";
/* bootstrap classes used to style and position the export buttons */
$.fn.tableExport.bootstrap = ["btn", "btn-default", "btn-toolbar"];
/* row delimeter used in all filetypes */
$.fn.tableExport.rowDel = "\r\n";
