Download data URL file
Solution 1:
If you also want to give a suggested name to the file (instead of the default 'download') you can use the following in Chrome, Firefox and some IE versions:
function downloadURI(uri, name) {
var link = document.createElement("a");
link.download = name;
link.href = uri;
document.body.appendChild(link);
link.click();
document.body.removeChild(link);
delete link;
}
And the following example shows it's use:
downloadURI("data:text/html,HelloWorld!", "helloWorld.txt");
Solution 2:
function download(dataurl, filename) {
const link = document.createElement("a");
link.href = dataurl;
link.download = filename;
link.click();
}
download("data:text/html,HelloWorld!", "helloWorld.txt");
or:
function download(url, filename) {
fetch(url)
.then(response => response.blob())
.then(blob => {
const link = document.createElement("a");
link.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
link.download = filename;
link.click();
})
.catch(console.error);
}
download("https://get.geojs.io/v1/ip/geo.json","geoip.json")
download("data:text/html,HelloWorld!", "helloWorld.txt");
