html5 save,GitHub - Infinidat/file-saver: An HTML5 saveAs() FileSaver implementation

If you need to save really large files bigger then the blob's size limitation or don't have

enough RAM, then have a look at the more advanced StreamSaver.js

that can save data directly to the hard drive asynchronously with the power of the new streams API. That will have

support for progress, cancelation and knowing when it's done writing

FileSaver.js

FileSaver.js implements the saveAs() FileSaver interface in browsers that do

not natively support it. There is a FileSaver.js demo that demonstrates saving

various media types.

FileSaver.js is the solution to saving files on the client-side, and is perfect for

webapps that need to generate files, or for saving sensitive information that shouldn't be

sent to an external server.

Looking for canvas.toBlob() for saving canvases? Check out

canvas-toBlob.js for a cross-browser implementation.

Feature detection is possible:

try {

var isFileSaverSupported = !!new Blob;

} catch (e) {}

IE < 10

It is possible to save text files in IE < 10 without Flash-based polyfills.

See ChenWenBrian and koffsyrup's saveTextAs() for more details.

Safari 6.1+

Blobs may be opened instead of saved sometimes—you may have to direct your Safari users to manually

press ⌘+S to save the file after it is opened. Using the application/octet-stream MIME type to force downloads can cause issues in Safari.

iOS

saveAs must be run within a user interaction event such as onTouchDown or onClick; setTimeout will prevent saveAs from triggering. Due to restrictions in iOS saveAs opens in a new window instead of downloading, if you want this fixed please tell Apple how this bug is affecting you.

Syntax

FileSaver saveAs(Blob/File data, optional DOMString filename, optional Boolean disableAutoBOM)

Pass true for disableAutoBOM if you don't want FileSaver.js to automatically provide Unicode text encoding hints (see: byte order mark).

Examples

Saving text using with require

var FileSaver = require('file-saver');

var blob = new Blob(["Hello, world!"], {type: "text/plain;charset=utf-8"});

FileSaver.saveAs(blob, "hello world.txt");

Saving text

var blob = new Blob(["Hello, world!"], {type: "text/plain;charset=utf-8"});

saveAs(blob, "hello world.txt");

The standard W3C File API Blob interface is not available in all browsers.

Blob.js is a cross-browser Blob implementation that solves this.

Saving a canvas

var canvas = document.getElementById("my-canvas"), ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

// draw to canvas...

canvas.toBlob(function(blob) {

saveAs(blob, "pretty image.png");

});

Note: The standard HTML5 canvas.toBlob() method is not available in all browsers.

canvas-toBlob.js is a cross-browser canvas.toBlob() that polyfills this.

Saving File

You can save a File constructor without specifying a filename. The

File itself already contains a name, There is a hand full of ways to get a file

instance (from storage, file input, new constructor)

But if you still want to change the name, then you can change it in the 2nd argument

var file = new File(["Hello, world!"], "hello world.txt", {type: "text/plain;charset=utf-8"});

saveAs(file);
