Data format for CSV

For CSV file type, the data field should be supplied with an array objects. ToolJet assumes that the keys of each of these objects are the same and that they represent the column headers of the csv file.

Example:

javascript

{{
  [
    { name: 'John', email: '[email protected]' },
    { name: 'Sarah', email: '[email protected]' },
  ]
}}

Supplying the above snippet will generate a csv file which looks like this:

csv

name,email
John,[email protected]
Sarah,[email protected]
