Need a export to excel,pdf etc button for ngx-datatable. Because it reduces lots of work in development with ngx-datatables.

I have a better PRACTICAL solution for this.

In most of the cases, the data is comming from API.

So, it would be great if we convert the data to csv directly. Yes, It is possible...

Step 1 : npm install @ctrl/ngx-csv

Step 2 : module.ts

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
   ...
   ...
   ...
  ],
  imports: [
    ...
    CsvModule,
    ...
  ]
})

Step 3 : component.html

<a csvLink [data]="yourDataObject">CSV</a>

Hope you find this solution helpfull :)
