table2csv live example

Star Fork Issue

A simple jQuery plugin to convert HTML tables to CSV. It allows you to download or display the content of a regular HTML table as a CSV file.

It is useful if you want to quickly build a downloadable report from a web based tool.

Check out the repository or the npm page of the package

I wrote this plugin in my spare time. Feel free to file an issue or create a pull request if you think I missed something!

Installation

You can install this plugin from npm

    
$ npm install table2csv
    

Usage

Import jQuery and this script

    
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/table2csv.min.js"></script>
    

then invoke the table2csv() function on the jQuery object of the table

$("table").first().table2csv(); // default action is 'download'

The plugin currently convert just one table at a time and must be called directly on the table you want to convert.

table2csv() accepts 2 arguments, both optional: action and options. Click here for full documentation or just try the live example below.
