Sometimes, there is a need to export data in excel format, pdf, or print data, such as to export inquiry data in excel format or print registration data, etc. In Data Table, we can add export to pdf, CSV, print buttons very easily by following some steps:
Step 1: Create Table in HTML
<table class="table table-striped" id="example">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Email</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>Doe</td>
<td>[email protected]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Mary</td>
<td>Moe</td>
<td>[email protected]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>July</td>
<td>Dooley</td>
<td>[email protected]</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Step 2: Add CSS CDN
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.20/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css">
Step 3: Add these JS files at the end of the body tag.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.20/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/buttons/1.6.4/js/dataTables.buttons.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/buttons/1.6.4/js/buttons.html5.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jszip/3.1.3/jszip.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdfmake/0.1.53/pdfmake.min.js"></script>

<script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/buttons/1.6.4/js/buttons.html5.min.js"></script>
Step 4: Put id=” example ” in your table tag.
<table id=”example”></table>
Step 5: paste this jquery code after jquery links:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable( {
dom: 'Bfrtip',
