Data export in this case is performed on the Front-end side:

  1. UI module retrieves data from a back-end module by making queries to its APIs. Data is usually retrieved sequentially page by page until there is no data returned for the query that UI module makes.
    All data stored in the RAM. 
  2. Once the data is retrieved, it may be transformed by the UI module.
  3. Then the UI module leverages the stripes-util method to generate a CSV file from the data. 
  4. The file download is either started automatically by the browser (if such capability is supported) or a link to the file is added to a page (to the same page from which UI module methods were invoked).
