Hi! I made an application using Typesense and instantsearch.js library, wanted to ask if there is a way to export the filtered results from UI into csv or json?

Hi Rohan, you'd essentially need to build a custom widget which will have access to the latest set of results. Then in the widget, when a user clicks on the download button, you can then convert the JSON object of results into a CSV file using something like this.

If you do build a custom widget for this, would be cool to open source it! :)
