ExcelService.export(data);

The excel file that will be downloaded looks like - alt text

Excel with headings If you want to control the excel headings you can do it easily by sending list of headings to the function:

import ExcelService from 'export-to-excel.js';
const data = [{ "id": 5, "name": "John", "grade": 90, "age": 15 }, { "id": 7, "name": "Nick", "grade": 70, "age": 17 }];
const headings = ["Student ID", "Student Name", "Test Grade", "Student Age"];
ExcelService.export(data, { headings });

The excel file that will be downloaded looks like - alt text

Name the file Currently the excel file name is 'excel'. You can override it:

const data = [{ "id": 5, "name": "John", "grade": 90, "age": 15 }, { "id": 7, "name": "Nick", "grade": 70, "age": 17 }];
const headings = ["Student ID", "Student Name", "Test Grade", "Student Age"];
const fileName = 'StudentsGrades';
ExcelService.export(data, { headings, fileName });

Async/Await

The method 'export' is promise based, so you can use it with async/await syntax:

const onExport = async () => {
    await ExcelService.export(this.data, { fileName: this.excelName });
    alert('Your excel file has been exported!'); // or some nicer ui indication...
}
