How to create a file and generate a download with Javascript in the Browser (without a server)

Learn how to generate a file using javascript in the browser and download it directly without use any server (local solution).
Generate and download a file using Javascript ? If you think about it, this isn't so secure as you think and shouldn't be allowed without the user interaction (however now is allowed).
Imagine that you use Google Chrome and you have enabled the option "Auto-open downloaded files", and for your bad luck you enter in a malicious website and it generates the download of an unknown file. You know how this story ends.
However, in the latest browsers unknow or rare downloaded file extensions are blocked and a prompt appears if you really want to open that file (at less in Chrome).
Therefore, the automatic download of file has been difficult to achieve in the latest years, but now with the introduction of HTML5, this task has become easier to achieve.
In this article we are going to show you a couple of tricks to generate and download directly a file using pure Javascript.
Self-implemented download function
The following simple function allow you to generate a download of a file directly in the browser without contact any server. It works on all HTML5 Ready browsers as it uses the download attribute of the <a> element:
The download attribute specifies that the target will be downloaded when a user clicks on the hyperlink. This attribute is only used if the href attribute is set.
You can see this snippet in action in the following fiddle:
Using a library
Make libraries, not the war. FileSaver.js implements the saveAs() FileSaver interface in browsers that do not natively support it.
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.
The following snippet allow you to generate a file (with any extension) and download it without contact any server :
The following table shows the compatibility of FileSaver.js in different browsers:
Note: although it supports the most recent browsers, there are a couple of trick that you need to know to provide full support.
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 .
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.

Use download Attribute in HTML to Download Files
Using a custom-written function to create and download text files in javascript, use axios library to download files.
In this article, we will learn how to download files using JavaScript. Automatic downloading files help us retrieve files directly from the URL with a JavaScript function without contacting any servers. We will achieve this using our custom written functions and using the download attribute of HTML 5.
The download attribute in HTML 5 is used to download files when users click on the hyperlink. It is used with anchor tags - <a> and <area> . We are required to set the href attribute specifying the source of the file. The value of the download attribute determines the name of the downloaded file. If this value is removed, then the downloaded filename will be the same as the original file name.
In the above code, we download an image apple.png using the download attribute. We first create the anchor tag containing the image’s address and add the download attribute to it. Then we also created a download button to facilitate downloading files.
This approach will create text data on the fly and then use JavaScript to create a text file and then download it.
Download Algorithm
Create a text area to enter the text data..
- Create an anchor tag <a> using the createElement property and assign download and href attributes to it.
Use the encodeURIComponent to encode the text and append it to URI as its component. This will help us to replace certain special characters with a combination of escape sequences.
Set the date type to text/plain and encoding to utf-8 using the data:text/plain; charset = utf-8 as the attribute value of href ., append this created element to the body of the document(html page)., use element.click() to simulate a mouse click., remove the element from the body of the document(html page)..
Attach an event listener looking for a click to a download button. Call the download function with text from the text area and the text file’s filename as parameters.
In this approach, we will use the Axios library to download files. Before proceeding with the approach’s details, let us understand what Blob is, the data type used to download files using Axios.
Blob stands for Binary Large Object and is a data type that can store binary data. It represents data like programs, code snippets, multimedia objects, and other things that don’t support JavaScript native format.
Download Files
Create an axios get request with url as the source of the file and the responsetype as a blob ., resolve the promise returned by the axios request by performing the following steps:.
- Create a DOMString that contains the URL representing the Blob object.
- Set href as the URL created in the first step and download attribute as the downloaded file’s name.
- Attach this link to the document and simulate a click using the .click() method.
- Remove this link from the document.
Here we get random images from a site, use Axios to request those images in the form of blobs, and then download them using the anchor tag’s download attribute. This method is not restricted to the plain text entered by the user like the previous method. We can request any sort of data from an API and then use this approach to save data inside our computer.
All the major browsers support all the above methods except the method using the Axios library. Internet Explorer still does not supports the native ES6 promises, and Axios depends heavily on them.

Web performance workshop
Challenging native is a full day workshop and e-book we are working on together with Yurii Luchaninov . In recent years web technologies became a silver bullet for UI, crossplatform development. However we still have a lot of discussion on it pros and cons. The most critical issue developers face creating web apps is a performance comparing to native applications. A lot of "know how" is required in order to produce HTML / JS application which is as fast as iOS or Android native. This project is a short practical guide into web performance which cover all aspects you need to know to create fast applications and stunning interactive experiences able to challenge native platforms.
