exactly
The format_json was missing, but is not needed, Below I am posting the fixed version.
function Json2CSV(objArray)
{
var
getKeys = function(obj){
var keys = [];
for(var key in obj){
keys.push(key);
}
return keys.join();
}, array = typeof objArray != 'object' ? JSON.parse(objArray) : objArray
, str = ''
;
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
var line = '';
for (var index in array[i]) {
if(line != '') line += ','
line += array[i][index];
}
str += line + '\r\n';
}
str = getKeys(objArray[0]) + '\r\n' + str;
var a = document.createElement('a');
var blob = new Blob([str], {'type':'application\/octet-stream'});
a.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
a.download = 'export.csv';
a.click();
return true;
}
// Usage
fake = [{'First Name':'Timothy', 'Last Name':'Johnson', 'Company':'Scitent'},{'First Name':'Eric', 'Last Name':'Glassman', 'Company':'Scitent'},{'First Name':'Mark', 'Last Name':'Cuban', 'Company':'SharkTank'},{'First Name':'Jeff', 'Last Name':'Bezos', 'Company':'Amazon'}];
Json2CSV(fake);
FYI, the serialization from JSON to CSV also includes the $$hashKey in the CSV. Was this intentional?
