exporting data in the format of csv in lighting component

Requirement: There is a button "Export Today "  which is used to export account records in the form of csv in lightning component(Account_Detail_Component).In the helper ,we have "convertArrayOfObjectsToCSV" function which is used to convert object records into csv. I am able to display account fields values i.e 'Name','AccountNumber','Id'  in csv.But I am not able to display parent account field values.
For example below query return account field values and parent field value 
Select id,name,accountnumber,parent.accountnumber from Account where parent.id!=null and parent.accountnumber!=null.Could any one please post javascript code which needs to be used in helper fucntion for displaying parent  account records.

Hi kishore,

Below code can fullfill your requirements. Hope this will work for you.

Download Data as CSV File With JavaScript In Salesforce Lightning Component :

Sample Code : 

apex Controller [csvDownloadCtrl.apxc] :

public class csvDownloadCtrl {
@AuraEnabled
   public static list <contact> fetchContact(){
      
      List <contact> returnConList = new List < contact > ();
        
      for(contact con: [SELECT firstName, LastName, Department, MobilePhone From contact LIMIT 1000]) {
             returnConList.add(con);
          }
         return returnConList;
   }
}
 
Above apex class is just return the List of Contact Records.
Lightning Component [csvSample.cmp] :


<aura:component controller="csvDownloadCtrl">          
    <!--aura init handler , call js "loadContactList" function on component load, and display contact data on table-->   
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.loadContactList}"/> 
    
    <!--Declare Attribute for store Contact Records List-->  
    <aura:attribute name="ListOfContact" type="contact[]"/> 
    
 <!--Use "slds-m-around- -xx-large" class to add standard Large padding to the component--> 
  <div class="slds-m-around--xx-large">   
    <button class="slds-button slds-button--brand" onclick="{!c.downloadCsv}">Download As CSV</button> <br/><br/>
 
<!--HTML tabel for display Contact Records-->

If You want add another column to CSV file from object, add Field API name to Line number 33 on JS helper controller. such as -:

keys = ['FirstName','LastName','Department','MobilePhone','Id','CustomFieldApiName__c' ];

Hi, Kishore,

As I also face the same problem but when I used the below code, it solves my problem.

keys = ['Name',AccountNumber,Parent];
if(skey == 'Parent'){
    objectRecords[i][skey] = objectRecords[i].Parent.AccountNumber;
    console.log(objectRecords[i][skey]);
 }    
 csvStringResult += '"'+ objectRecords[i][skey]+'"';
 
I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
Thanks.

Hi Guru Dev 6,
you can change column names in the CSV file by using wrapper class and return wrapper in js.
I have used this and it solved my problem.

 

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark it as Best Answer to help others too.
Thanks.
