I want to use Excel Export Button with Web Framework (Django).
I tried to use Excel Export app, but this is only with Simple XML module.
Can I use Excel Export Button with my Django app ?
Hi,
Since this question was made 1yr ago and there is no answer yet, I will let you know my work-around... Just in case it can help others with our same problem (and don't want to use TableElement module and want to keep using the TableView from SplunkJS).
Define a function to convert splunk results to csv:
function arrayToCSVConvertor(arrData, ReportTitle, ShowLabel) {
//If JSONData is not an object then JSON.parse will parse the JSON string in an Object
var CSV = '';
//Set Report title in first row or line
CSV += ReportTitle + '\r\n\n';
//This condition will generate the Label/Header
if (ShowLabel) {
var row = "";
//This loop will extract the label from 1st index of on array
for (var index in arrData[0]) {
if ((index.indexOf("_") == 0 && index.indexOf("_time") != 0) || index.length == 0){
} else {
//Now convert each value to string and comma-seprated
row += index + ',';
}
}
row = row.slice(0, -1);
//append Label row with line break
CSV += row + '\r\n';
}
//1st loop is to extract each row
for (var i = 0; i < arrData.length; i++) {
var row = "";
//2nd loop will extract each column and convert it in string comma-seprated
$.each(arrData[i], function (k,v){
if ((k.indexOf("_") == 0 && k.indexOf("_time") != 0) || v.length == 0){
//nada
}else{
row += v + ","
}
})
row.slice(0, row.length - 1);
//add a line break after each row
CSV += row + '\r\n';
}
if (CSV == '') {
alert("Invalid data");
return;
}
//Generate a file name
var fileName = "";
//this will remove the blank-spaces from the title and replace it with an underscore
fileName += ReportTitle.replace(/ /g,"_");
//Initialize file format you want csv or xls
var uri = 'data:text/csv;charset=utf-8,' + escape(CSV);
// Now the little tricky part.
// you can use either>> window.open(uri);
// but this will not work in some browsers
// or you will not get the correct file extension
//this trick will generate a temp <a /> tag
var link = document.createElement("a");
link.href = uri;
//set the visibility hidden so it will not effect on your web-layout
link.style = "visibility:hidden";
link.download = fileName + ".csv";
//this part will append the anchor tag and remove it after automatic click
document.body.appendChild(link);
link.click();
document.body.removeChild(link);
}
Create a trigger to call the function at 3):
search.on("search:done", function(state, job) {
if (state.content.resultCount != 0) {
var results = search.data('results', {
output_mode: 'json',
count: 0
});
results .on("data", function() {
results_data = results.data()['results'];
arrayToCSVConvertor(results_data,"title1.csv",true);
});
}
});
This work-around creates and automatic export once the search has finished. Of course, create a function that gets called when a button is clicked if you want to create the export only under the users demand.
I hope this helps. And if someone finds a better way to solve this question please post it! 🙂
