I'm trying to download a csv file received from the server using FileSaver on React:
import FileSaver from 'file-saver';
const getFile = async (url) => {
const response = await fetch(url);
const data = await response.blob();
return FileSaver.saveAs(data, 'file.csv');
}
The file is downloaded but the problem is not formatted well as csv file. I got this schema when I opened it:
col_header1;col_header1;col_header1
EQUAL t1;EQUAL v1;EQUAL R1
EQUAL t1;EQUAL v2;EQUAL R2
EQUAL t1;EQUAL v1;EQUAL R3
all the data are in a single column not in different ones. Is there anything to add to format it automatically before opening it ?
I resolved the issue by adding a separator to the date at the beginning:
import FileSaver from 'file-saver';
const getFile = async (url) => {
const response = await fetch(url);
const data = await response.text();
const csvData = 'sep=;\n' + data;
const blob = new Blob([csvData], {type: 'text/csv;charset=utf-8;'});
return FileSaver.saveAs(data, 'file.csv');
}
