Rails 3: Return .XLS or .CSV?

How can I respond wit开发者_StackOverflow社区h a .xls file? Do I have to generate it myself or Rails does that for me?

Thanks

Rails will not do that for you out of the box, but they are gems that can help you along the way.

I recommend: https://github.com/dasil003/csv_builder

This should make quick work of your requirement.

Good luck

For generating xls files I suggest Spreadsheet https://github.com/zdavatz/spreadsheet
