Inputs

Name	Type	Default	Description
delimiter	string	","	Sets the character used to separate values in a row. Must be a single character.
fetchData	CSVFetchDataCallback		Provides a function to get the exported data. By default, uses the data displayed in the Grid in accordance with the currently applied State. Supply a custom function to export a different data set. Typically used to export all data, not just the current page.
fileName	string	"Export.csv"	Sets the file name for the exported CSV file.
forceProxy	boolean		Forwards the content to proxyURL even if the browser supports local file saving when set to true.
groupHeaderFormatter	(displayNames: string[]) => string		Provides a custom formatter for group headers in grouped data exports. Receives the display names of grouped fields and returns the formatted header.
groupValueFormatter	(values: any[], groupNames: string[]) => string		Provides a custom formatter for group value rows in grouped data exports. Receives the values and field names, and returns the formatted group value.
includeUTF8BOM	boolean	false	When true, adds a UTF-8 Byte Order Mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file. Helps applications like Microsoft Excel correctly recognize UTF-8 encoding.
keys	string[]		Sets property names to extract from object or Map rows, in order. By default, these are the properties used as field binding values in the Grid's column definitions.
lineSeparator	string	"\r\n"	Sets the string used to terminate each line.
maxCellLength	number	32767	Sets the maximum number of characters allowed per cell. Values exceeding this limit are truncated.
maxColumns	number	1000	Maximum number of columns to export. Keys/columns exceeding this limit are automatically truncated. Default: 1000 (prevents memory exhaustion and DoS attacks).
maxRows	number	1000000	Maximum number of rows to export. Data exceeding this limit is automatically truncated. Default: 1000000 (prevents memory exhaustion and DoS attacks).
names	string[]		Sets optional column headers to render on the first line. By default, column names are extracted from each column's title or field properties.
preventFormulaInjection	boolean	true	When true, prefixes potentially dangerous formula characters (=, +, -, @, tab, \r) with a single quote (') to prevent formula injection attacks in spreadsheet applications.
proxyURL	string		Sets the URL of the server-side proxy that streams the file to the user. Use a proxy if the browser cannot save files locally. Set forceProxy to true to skip client-side saving. The proxy receives a POST request with specific parameters and returns the decoded file with the "Content-Disposition" header set to attachment; filename="<fileName.csv>".
