In your Gemfile:

gem 'to_csv-rails'# Last officially released gem
# gem "to_csv-rails", :git => "git://github.com/liangwenke/to_csv-rails.git" # Track git repo

or, to install as a gem:

gem install to_csv-rails

rails plugin install git://github.com/liangwenke/to_csv-rails.git

In your controller:

def index
  @posts = Post.all

  respond_to do |format|
    format.html
    format.csv { send_data(@posts.to_csv) }
    # format.csv {
    #   filename = "Posts-#{Time.now.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")}.csv"
    #   send_data(@posts.to_csv, :type => "text/csv; charset=utf-8; header=present", :filename => filename)
    # }
