Export To Excel - Change Default "Save as type" to Microsoft Office Excel Workbook(*xls)
I am Doing an Export to Excel with my Ruby on Ralis application.I have not used any gem or Plugin (since our requirement was something different, we couldn't use them). We used the inbuilt "format.xls" support that comes with Ruby on Rails.
The problem is that, when we get our Excel, Save as Type
appears on the webpage. I want to change this to Microsoft Office Excel Workbook (*xls)
. How to do it?
Below is my controller action code
and the respective view
with which we get the excel.
Get_excel methods in controller
def get_excel
format.xls do
headers['Content-Type'] = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
headers["Content-disposition"] = 'inline; filename="myexcel.xls"'
headers['Cache-Control'] = ''
end
end
VIEW (get_excel.xls.erb)
<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office

In config/initializers/mime_types.rb
Mime::Type.register "application/vnd.ms-excel", :xls
Then you shouldn't need to set headers directly in the method.
I'm not sure if this will stop you from being prompted, but it's how I serve HTML tables as xls and nobody ever has a problem opening them.
I also don't set a filename, as the method name will name it (get_excel.xls in your case). I also don't set all the xml and xmlns stuff either. It just works.
