In HTML 5, a new download attribute was added to the anchor element. The download attribute can be given a valid filename as its value. However, the user can still modify the filename in the save prompt that pops-up. There are a few noteworthy facts about the behavior of the download attribute:.
There are now Web APIs that can be used to programmatically:. In this section, we will examine how we can programmatically generate content using Web APIs on the browser. Here is a breakdown of what we are about to do:. Here is what the CSV generation script could look like:. The code snippet simply logs the resulting CSV string to the console. First, we define a squareImages filter function for filtering images in the collection with equal width and height.
Next, we define a collectionToCSV higher-order function which takes an array of keys and returns a function that takes an array collection of objects and converts it to a CSV string extracting only the specified keys from each object. Finally, we specify the fields we want to extract from each photo object in the collection in the exportFields array.
Here is what the output could look like on the console:. In this example, we will use the Canvas API to manipulate the pixels of an image, making it appear grayscale. Here is a comparison between an actual image and the corresponding grayscale canvas image. You can learn about Blobs here. Blobs are objects that are used to represent raw immutable data. Blob objects store information about the type and size of data they contain, making them very useful for storing and working file contents on the browser.
In fact, the File object is a special extension of the Blob interface. Blob objects can be obtained from a couple of sources:. Here are some code samples for the aforementioned blob object sources:. It is one thing to obtain a blob object and another thing altogether to work with it. Downloading Files using Axios and Security This is actually even more complex when you want to download files using Axios and some means of security.
You need to do 3 things: 1. Configure your server to permit the browser to see required HTTP headers 2. Implement the server-side service, and making it advertise the correct file type for the downloaded file. One step at a time: 1. Implement the server-side service Your server-side service implementation must now perform 2 things: 1.
Create the binary document and assign correct ContentType to the response 2. Assign the custom header X-Suggested-Filename containing the suggested file name for the client This is done in different ways depending on your chosen technology stack. The document is transmitted as a stream of bytes, so you must tell axios to treat the response as an HTML5 Blob. We will create the PHP file with the following code to download the file forcibly.
Next, the header function is used to set the necessary header information before using the readfile function. The basename function is used to retrieve the filename, and the filesize function is used to read the size of the file in bytes, which will be shown in the opening dialog box to download the file.
The flush function is used to clear the output buffer. The readfile function is used with the filename only, here. Output The following output will appear after clicking the download link of the image file.
The file size of the rose. You can download the file by selecting the Save File radio button and pressing the OK button. If the file exists at the given file location, the file path will be required to mention in the URL. In this example, we will create an HTML file with the following code, which will pass the filename with the file path:. Method to be used for downloading files. The method can also be set through the option "download.
The mode with which to write the file. Useful values are "w" , "wb" binary , "a" append and "ab". Not used for methods "wget" and "curl". An invisible integer code, 0 for success and non-zero for failure.
For the "wget" and "curl" methods this is the status code returned by the external program. The "internal" method can return 1 , but will in most cases throw an error.
What happens to the destination file s in the case of error depends on the method and R version. Currently the "internal" , "wininet" and "libcurl" methods will remove the file if there the URL is unavailable except when mode specifies appending when the file should be unchanged.
Proxies can be specified via environment variables.
