Generate CSV file in Appcelerator

// In app.js file just write this code

Part i -

var csv = require('exportCsvData');

 

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({

    backgroundColor:'#ccc',

    title:'CSV Import Module'

})

 

var createCsv = Titanium.UI.createButton({

    title:'CSV',

    top:'140',

    left:'110',

    height:'40',

    width:'115',

    color:'black'

});

win.add(createCsv);

 

createCsv.addEventListener('click', function(e){

   var input = [

     [" data 0", " place 1", " address 2", " name 3"],

     [" data 0", " place 1", " address 2", " name 3"],

     [" data 0", " place 1", " address 2", " name 3"],

     [" data 0", " place 1", " address 2", " name 3"]

   ];

   

   var op = csv.exportCsvData(input);

   alert("Output file path = "+ op);

});

 

 

win.open();

 

 

 

// Create on exportCsvData.js file 

Part ii -

exports.exportCsvData = function(input)

{

 

    var rowTxt = "";

    for(var i=0;i < input.length; i++){ // row iteration

        for(var j = 0; j < input[i].length; j++){ // column iteration

            rowTxt += '"' + input[i][j] + '"';

  

            if(j < (input[i].length-1))

            {

                rowTxt += ',';

            }

        }

        rowTxt += '\n';// adding new line at end of row

    }

 

    // creating output file in application data directory

    var outputFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,'output.csv');

    // writing data in output file

        outputFile.write(rowTxt);

 

 

    if(outputFile.exists){

        alert("CSV generated!!!");

    }

     

    // return output file path

    return outputFile.nativePath;   

}
