Is there a way to manually call the export function?

Is there a way to manually call the export function on the button, so you can do some stuff before the export starts? Something like this:

<button mat-button (click)="myExportFunction()">EXPORT</button>

myExportFunction() {
    doSomething();
    matTableExporterFunction();
}

Great extension!

Many thanks for the feedback. Yes, actually the exportStarted event is emitted just before the real exporting happens. You can listen to that event.

component template <mat-table ......... (exportStarted)="onExportStarted()">

component.ts

   onExportStarted() {
     doSomething();
   }

Oh excellent! I did not read the documentation thoroughly enough. Thank you!
