Description

Hi,
I am trying to make the full (all pages) results set as it appears in my datatable available as an export through a server method.
Instead of trying to reproduce how you've implemented the search , I'd like to just get the list of _ids that the full tabular publication is using.
I know full exports aren't possible with the 'buttons' mod, so I'm hoping to do something like this on my client:
`Meteor.call('exportCsv',{collectionName:'People',datatableName:'Directory'});`
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the tabular publication and server-method APIs involved in the requested Meteor.call('exportCsv', ...) flow. The issue names no files or tests, so first determine how full publication result IDs are exposed and define a testable export behavior before implementation.
