Export from db to CSV and download

[RyIot3329]

Description

I am not sure if this id possible already but I need to prepare a file for export to the browser using the browser download API. This would be a great feature or if it is already possible would love to see an example on how this could be done.

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

This may already exist

So, just to check here, you're creating a file in Node-RED, you want to send that to Dashboard for download by a user?

[RyIot3329]

Yeah, exactly. Ryan

Hi @RyIot3329

This is something you can already do yourself.

Here is a demo of serving files from your Node-RED to a user on a dashboard:

IMPORTANT: This is a Dashboard 1.0 example (not Dashboard 2.0) so the ui-template will need re-jigging but the important parts and the concept should set you off in the right direction.
