ExcelJS VS HANDSONTABLE

For exporting to Excel from Javascript, I use ExcelJS

Handsontable is primarily known as a JavaScript grid library for business apps but the decision to include it in this article is not accidental. Although this tool doesn't offer as many text formatting options as Excel, it includes quite a lot of features for manipulating data typical of spreadsheets.

You can also take advantage of more advanced capabilities such as multi-column sorting, data summaries, trimming rows, and nested headers.
