Export traffic data as csv/excel/ods document #349

Summary

Shlink it fantastic, but i think it would greatly benefit from a tabellar export.

Context

many people who use url shorteners regularly, for business reasons, need to present data in a "digestible" format. A Pdf export would be a quick answer to that, but it's feasible only for a single "project" and the data is "static" and cannot be further analyzed.

An export of data in tabellar form is quite more useful, because you can further process it in a Spreadsheet (excel, open office, google docs, etc.).

What should be the format of the export

This is just a feature proposal, not an order :)

In its simplest form, the client could simply output the "table" as a file, with the fields enclosed by double quotes, to prevent import issues. (the export in excels or open office, should prevent this case).

The current selected date should work as filter.

Most people skilled in spreadsheet could then filter them and pivot to obtain the data desired.

optional

In a separate sheet (so it's a feature only for excel or open office), the client may output a list of hits sorted by date to replicate the main chart seen on screen.

I've seen it happens in the Google search console export feature, it's probably used to generate the chart quickly.

That's some ideas i've thought so far, thanks for this nice shortener!
