External download button for filtered table #8

Hi, I am curious: Is there a way to put a download button externally to the table, such that the result of any filtering and selection can be stored in a csv/text/xls file? Dylan

Hi Dylan, HTFG does not come with a built-in export functionality, but it could be comfortably implemented by using the public API to get the filtered data (GetFilteredData method) and pass it to one of the many js libraries specialising in exporting data to csv/text/xls.

Thanks, this is a bit beyond immediate ability. I will look into it.

No worries. If you are thinking about using this widget I advise you to switch to https://github.com/koalyptus/TableFilter. Cheers
