### Syntax

csv.exportCsv(EntityName, Headers, Cursor, BaseUrl, DestinationFolder)

```

### Parameters values

- **EntityName** : Required. Name of the entity you want to export. This will be used to generate the file name. For example citizens, companies, etc. (Type: String)

- **Headers** : Required. Will be used as a column heading. (Type: Array)

/*This is an example of how you can get a cursor in MongoDB_
In this example I want to filter on my people collection, and get certain fields*/

//queryFilters: filters to apply
//headers: I return the fields that I require to generate my csv (These will be the headers in my batch file)

let cursor = await people.find(queryFilters, headers).cursor()

csv.exportCsv('My-Company', headers, cursor, baseUrl, 'batches')
