import { ExcelExportService } from '@slickgrid-universal/excel-export';

export class MyExample {
  initializeGrid {
    this.gridOptions = {
      enableExcelExport: true,
      excelExportOptions: {
        sanitizeDataExport: true
      },
      externalResources: [new ExcelExportService()],
    }

import { ExcelExportService } from '@slickgrid-universal/excel-export';

export class MyExample {
  excelExportService: ExcelExportService;

  constructor() {
    this.excelExportService = new ExcelExportService();
  }

  initializeGrid {
    this.gridOptions = {
      enableExcelExport: true,
      excelExportOptions: {
        sanitizeDataExport: true
      },
      externalResources: [this.excelExportService],
    }
  }

  exportToExcel() {
    this.excelExportService.exportToExcel({ filename: 'export', format: FileType.xlsx });
  }
}

CSP (Content Security Policy)

Please note that this Excel Export service is using fflate (it compresses the data before sending it to the browser) and for better performance it uses Web Workers and for that reason you might need to adjust your CSP rules. You simply need to add a CSP rule to avoid the error worker-src 'self' blob:;

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"
  content="default-src 'self'; ...other rules...  worker-src 'self' blob:;" />
