JSON to Excel for VUE 2

Download your JSON data as an excel file directly from the browser. This component it's based on the solution proposed on this thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17142427/javascript-to-export-html-table-to-excel

Important! Extra prompt in Microsoft Excel

The method implemented in this component use HTML tables to draw the .xls files, Microsoft Excel no longer recognize HTML as native content so will prompt a warning message before open the file. The content will be rendered perfectly but the message can't be avoid.

Example

import Vue from 'vue'
import excel from 'vue-excel-export'

Vue.use(excel)

const app = new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    data: {
        json_fields: {
            'Complete name': 'name',
            'City': 'city',
            'Telephone': 'phone.mobile',
            'Telephone 2' : {
                field: 'phone.landline',
                callback: (value) => {
                    return `Landline Phone - ${value}`;
                }
            },
        },
        json_data: [
            {
                'name': 'Tony Peña',
                'city': 'New York',
                'country': 'United States',
                'birthdate': '1978-03-15',
                'phone': {
                    'mobile': '1-541-754-3010',
                    'landline': '(541) 754-3010'
                }
            },
            {
                'name': 'Thessaloniki',
                'city': 'Athens',
                'country': 'Greece',
                'birthdate': '1987-11-23',
                'phone': {
                    'mobile': '+1 855 275 5071',
                    'landline': '(2741) 2621-244'
                }
            }
        ],
        json_meta: [
            [
                {
                    'key': 'charset',
                    'value': 'utf-8'
                }
            ]
        ],
    }
})

In your HTML call it like

<export-excel
	class   = "btn btn-default"
	:data   = "json_data"
	:fields = "json_fields"
	worksheet = "My Worksheet"
	name    = "filename.xls">

	Download Excel (you can customize this with html code!)

</export-excel>

REQUIRED

• json_data: Contains the data you want to export,
• json_fields: You can select what fields to export, especify nested data and assign labels to the fields the key is the label, the value is the JSON field. This will export the field data 'as is'. If you need to customize the the exported data you can define a callback function. Thanks to @gucastiliao.

let json_fields = {
    // regular field (exported data 'as is')
    fieldLabel: attributeName, // nested attribute supported
    // callback function for data formatting
    anotherFieldLabel: {
        field: anotherAttributeName, // nested attribute supported
        callback: (value) => {
            return `formatted value ${value}`
        }
    },
}

Export CSV

To export JSON to CSV file just add the prop type with value "csv":

<export-excel
	class   = "btn btn-default"
	:data   = "json_data"
	:fields = "json_fields"
	type    = "csv"
	name    = "filename.xls">

	Download Excel (you can customize this with html code!)

</export-excel>
