}That will create a CSV file in the proper directory on both OS X and iOS.
OS X CSV files will be created in the OS X Exports directory (found under: /Library/Exports). The iOS CSV files will be created in your apps document directory under a folder called Exports.
There are a few configurable options in SwiftCSVExport.
//Set the name of the csv file
CSVExport.export.fileName = "Sample" //default is "csvfile"
//Set the directory in which the csv files will be written
CSVExport.export.directory = "/Library/XXX-folder-name-XXX" //default is the standard exporting directory for each platform.
// Able to set strict validation while create a new CSV file.
CSVExport.export.enableStrictValidation = true
