Gem list pdfkit for generating excel ruby

Question

Is there such a gem like pdfkit (which converts html to pdf) for converting an html table to excel.

Answer 1

You can use to_xls gem (which in the backend uses a spreadsheet), with which you can create the xls file created on invocation (I using this in my projects):

Or you can try this plugin:
