Unlock the power of seamless data export in Blazor with IronXL by watching this tutorial, and master the step-by-step process to effortlessly create and download Excel files right from your app!
In this tutorial, we explore exporting data in Excel using Blazor and IronXL within Visual Studio 2022. The process begins with setting up a saveAsFile.js script to create a download link for files, using a base64 byte array as input. This script is linked to the Blazor app by referencing it in the host.cshtml file. We then delve into the ExportExcel.cs file, which houses the main procedure for data conversion to Excel. Here, we define a method GenerateExcel to create and populate an Excel workbook and worksheet with sample data, headers, product names, SKUs, and customer information. Using JS interop, we call the JavaScript function to download the Excel file. The ExportExcel.razor file creates a button to trigger the GenerateExcel method, facilitated by an instance of IJSRuntime for JavaScript function invocation. Finally, the NavMenu.razor file is updated to include a navigation link to the Excel export page. Running the project allows us to generate and download an Excel file, showcasing the defined data, headers, and demonstrating IronXL's capabilities in Blazor.
