Exporting Data

Overview

The write block saves your pipeline results to a file. Connect it to any block that outputs data, choose a format, and download.

Supported formats

The write block supports the same formats as the read block:

• CSV: universal compatibility, plain text
• Excel (.xlsx): preserves multiple sheets, good for sharing with non-R users
• Parquet: columnar format, fast and compact for large datasets
• Feather: fast read/write for R and Python interchange
• JSON: web-friendly structured data
• SPSS / Stata / SAS: statistical software interchange

Export modes

• Download: triggers a browser download of the file
• Browse: writes to a location on the server filesystem

Files are automatically timestamped to prevent overwriting previous exports.

Exporting R code

Every blockr pipeline produces idiomatic R code you can copy and use anywhere.

1. Press the settings button:

2. Press the "</> Show Code" button:

3. That's it! Idiomatic R code will appear in a pop-up modal. Copy and paste it where you like.

Next steps

• Creating custom blocks: extend blockr with your own logic
• Block reference: I/O: full read/write block reference
