Json To Csv / Xls Does Not Save A File On Ie

I have the following service: angular.module('LBTable').service('exportTable', function () { function JSONToCSVConvertor(JSONData, ReportTitle, ShowLabel, fileName) { /

Solution 1:

the Reason is IE doesn't support the download attribute in a tag. The work around is you can Use blob

1. Convert the JSON to CSV

2. Check the current browser for that you can use the below code

getInternetExplorerVersion() {
            var rv = -1;
            if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer') {
                var ua = navigator.userAgent;
                var re = newRegExp("MSIE ([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})");
                if (re.exec(ua) != null)
                    rv = parseFloat(RegExp.$1);
            }
            elseif (navigator.appName == 'Netscape') {
                var ua = navigator.userAgent;
                var re = newRegExp("Trident/.*rv:([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})");
                if (re.exec(ua) != null)
                    rv = parseFloat(RegExp.$1);
            }
            return rv;
        }

3. if the browser is IE

var blob = new Blob([CSV], { type: "text/csv;charset=utf-8;" });
navigator.msSaveBlob(blob, fileName + ".csv")

This will work in IE
