FIX

[11-18-2017] Thanks to @msonowal now you can export to CSV, just add the prop: type="csv" [03-08-2017] downloaded file works with Microsoft Office

✔ Getting started

Get the package:

npm i vue-json-to-excel

Register JsonExcel in your app entrypoint:

import Vue from 'vue'
import JsonExcel from 'json-to-excel';

Vue.component('downloadExcel', JsonExcel);

const app = new Vue({
	el: '#app',
	data: {
		json_fields : {
		    "name"      : "String",
		    "city"      : "String",
		    "country"   : "String",
		    "birthdate" : "String",
		    "amount"    : "Number"
		},
		json_data : [
		    {
		        "name"      : "Tony Peña",
		        "city"      : "New York",
		        "country"   : "United States",
		        "birthdate" : "1978-03-15",
		        "amount"    : 42
		    },
		    {
		        "name"      : "Thessaloniki",
		        "city"      : "Athens",
		        "country"   : "Greece",
		        "birthdate" : "1987-11-23",
		        "amount"    : 42
		    }
		],
		json_meta: [
			[{
				"key": "charset",
				"value": "utf-8"
			}]
		],

In your HTML call it like

<download-excel
	class   = "btn btn-default"
	:data   = "json_data"
	:fields = "json_fields"
	name    = "filename.xls">

	Download Excel (you can customize this with html code!)

</download-excel>

json_data contains the data you want to export, json_fields is a type mapping for the fields in the json, name is the file name.

Export CSV

To export JSON to CSV file just add the prop type with value "csv":

<download-excel
	class   = "btn btn-default"
	:data   = "json_data"
	:fields = "json_fields"
	type    = "csv"
	name    = "filename.xls">

	Download Excel (you can customize this with html code!)

</download-excel>
