I have some data in csv format and I want to send it as a file attachment (example.csv) to an http response without saving it as a temp file on the fs. Can this be done in express/koa?
If you have constructed a string of comma-separated values organized into lines separated by "\n", you can send it as an attachment with express middleware like the following:
app.get("/csvdownload", function(req, res) {
var csv = "A,B\n1,2\n";
res.set("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=whatever.csv");
res.type("csv");
res.end(csv);
});
