In this meeting, the State Changers discuss how to export data from a table and save it as a CSV file. They start by creating a function called "dump table" to pull all the records from the desired table. Then, they create a new variable called "CSV" to filter and type the data as a CSV. They explain that the CSV creation may require some adjustments to properly identify the column names. After testing and confirming the CSV file looks correct, they explore two options to save the file. One option is to attach the function to an endpoint and retrieve the file that way. The second option is to save the file as a resource on Xano and download it. They demonstrate how to save the file as a resource and create metadata for it. Finally, they show how the saved file can be accessed and manipulated in the file library. The meeting participants are satisfied with this solution as it provides flexibility for future choices.
