Download Csv May 31, 2013
Morning
I started working on a story to allow users to download their search results as a csv file. In the morning I dealt with emailing the owners of the database that we would be querying to get the csv file from.
Standup
I shared my progress with the csv story, but nothing else really happened.
Afterwords
I added some more of the features that were needed for the csv story. Now users have to be logged in to see the download link, I added the route in the node app so that the download could be initiated. And started working on the pagination of results would return a different csv file.
What I learned
- Making new features can be more engaging than fixing bugs
What I still need to learn
- What the offset and count variables are for the server
What I wish I had already learned
- How to name generated files and how to trigger the download as dialog box
