saveAs
Prompts the user to save a file with a specified name and content.
The saveAs
function is designed to work with Data URIs and Blobs and save them as files on the client machine. Under the hood, saveAs
either creates a link that is clicked or a form that is submitted to the proxy end point if a proxy is used.
- Saving a Blob with a proxy is not supported and will result in an error.
- To download files from a server endpoint, use the regular HTML5
download
attribute on ananchor
tag to trigger the download.
js
import { saveAs, encodeBase64 } from '@progress/kendo-file-saver';
const dataURI = "data:text/plain;base64," + encodeBase64("Hello World!");
saveAs(dataURI, 'test.txt');
Parameters
data string | Blob
The content of the file as a Base64-encoded Data URI or a Blob.
fileName string
The desired file name.
