chart.getCSV() is not a function

[Aakash Raina]

I have loaded the exporting module and it works properly. I'm able to export to pdf, svg etc.. but can't export to csv

[Ilya Netkach]

You need:

npm install highcharts-export-csv

It works for me:

import React, { Component } from 'react'

import Highcharts from "highcharts";
import ReactHighcharts from 'react-highcharts'


const HighchartsExporting = require('highcharts-exporting')
HighchartsExporting(ReactHighcharts.Highcharts)

require('highcharts-export-csv')(ReactHighcharts.Highcharts)

class superChart extends Component {

    componentDidMount(){
        let chart = this.refs.chart.getChart();
        console.log(chart.getCSV())
    }
    
    render() {
        let config = {
            chart: {
                zoomType: 'x'
            },
            title: {
                text: 'USD to EUR exchange rate over time'
            },
            subtitle: {
                text: document.ontouchstart === undefined ?
                    'Click and drag in the plot area to zoom in' : 'Pinch the chart to zoom in'
            },
            xAxis: {
                type: 'datetime'
            },
            yAxis: {
                title: {
                    text: 'Exchange rate'
                }
            },
            legend: {
                enabled: false
            },
            plotOptions: {
                area: {
                    fillColor: {

                        ]
