how to export in flexmonster on mobile integrated in framework (Angular/Ionic)

Hello,
 
Thank you for posting on our forum.
 
By default, Flexmonster only supports a browser environment for saving files to the local system. If the used mobile framework seems to be incompatible with the browser environment in terms of saving, we suggest using the plain export provided by Flexmonster.
 
Set the destinationType parameter of the exportTo API call to plain in order to retrieve exported data but prevent the default saving process. The exported data will be passed to the callback where you can save it in a way native to your environment.
 
For example, HTML and CSV will be represented as a simple string that allows you to save these types of export as simple text files with corresponding extensions.
 
Excel export will be returned as Uint8Array. Use it to create Blob and save it as a binary file.

flexmonster.exportTo(type, params, (result) => {
  if(type === "excel") {
    result.data = Buffer.from(Array.from(result.data));
    result.type = "xlsx";
  }
  ...
  /* save to local system */
}

 
Images are represented as HTMLCanvasElement and can be converted using the toDataURL method. Next, it can be converted to Blob.

flexmonster.exportTo(type, params, (result) => {
  if(type === "image") {
    result.data = Buffer.from(result.data.toDataURL.replace(/^data:image\/\w+;base64,/, ""), 'base64');
    result.type = "png";
  }
  ...
  /* save to local system */
}

 
Finally, the PDF export is returned as a jsPDF object. You can retrieve the corresponding string using the output method of its object.

flexmonster.exportTo(type, params, (result) => {
  if(type === "pdf") {
    result.data = result.data.output();
  }
  ...
  /* save to local system */
}

 
Saving itself can be performed using any corresponding Ionic library allowing to operate with a local file system.
 
We hope it helps.
 
Kind regards,
Illia
