Shows how to create CSV, TXT, PDF, ICS/iCal, etc files right within the browser without ever hitting server-side. Uses the Blob API to build files in the browser and the URL API to create object URLs from them to make them downloadable. The whole thing is as simple as ...
const a = document.getElementById("a1");
const blob = new Blob(["your data"]);
a.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);

@TriWaZe 2 года назад

I have a blob file generated from my webcam but I'm trying to figure out how to send that mp4 file to my server. Think you could help?

Can you convert a base64 encoded image (say from canvasElement.toDataURL('image/jpeg')) to a Blob or File in the browser for the purpose of uploading to some storage API?

@yogeshbansal4311 3 года назад

Hello sir, I would like to know if my file is greater than 12 mb and service returning result in blob and it is taking time on server how can I tell user to wait or any way to reduce the service response time?

@SpinSpire That's a very nice tutorial. I am writing a quoting tool and ran into a roadblock. I am able to save, client side, the quotes in JSON format using blob... very easy and nice so thanks for that pointer since i was using file reader previously. Blob is cleaner IMO. However, I ran into a problem and curious if you can help? I need to be able to upload those same JSON files into the web application client side. I cannot find anywhere any information that will allow a user to select the JSON file locally in order to import or upload it to the application. Any pointers?

@SpinSpire 3 года назад

Glad that you found it useful. It's actually pretty easy. Please email me at info@SpinSpire.com so I can understand your requirements better.

I wanted to download zip file in browser which I received from post url containing no body. Please help to create blob for such content. Zip file is a stream that has two files inside it.

@Heffsta02 3 года назад

stuk.github.io/jszip/ JsZip framework has some good options for zipping on the client side.

@himabindu442 3 года назад

How can we create a zip file insted of single file, do we have an API for the same or do we need to use zip library. Please suggest

@SpinSpire 3 года назад

Yeah, you'd have to use the zip library to create and serve zip files.

So Excuse me sir you can download video with this method or not

@ad4m-10 3 года назад

Will this work on ios Safari and ios chrome ?

@SpinSpire 3 года назад

I'm fairly confident that it should. The URL and Blob API's are quite universal and well supported by all modern browsers.

@azadehrazavi1651 2 года назад

so helpful thank you .. does it work also for images ?

@SpinSpire 2 года назад

Yes. It does. It works for any kind of file you can construct in browser JS, stuff it into a Blob, and then provide a link to that Blob URL.

@hoshi411 Год назад

I wanted to see a blob of image type. Preferably html that was saved as an image

@Daddyjs 2 года назад

Is there a way to update the data and always have it saved to the same link for like sharing this link with other third party calendars so you don’t have to always put in a new link

@SpinSpire Год назад

Very good question. Unfortunately, that is not possible, at least not the client-side. This would have to be implemented on the server.

How to download a div as image using javascript

@SpinSpire 3 года назад

I'm sorry I don't understand the question. A DIV has no visual representation. So have can one turn it into an IMG? The question doesn't make sense its current form.

Can you please make a video about downloading a pdf file from blob url android webview app

@rosalyna_24 3 года назад

but if i want to download a pdf that i have uploaded and made some changes in it what should i do ??

@SpinSpire 3 года назад

This technique is for generating (building) files on the CLIENT-side (ON the user's browser), and making them downloadable. What you're asking for is downloading a file from SERVER-side. That's a completely different problem that this solution has nothing to do with. Solution for that depends on a lot of server-side details, which is out-of-scope of this video. Having said that, there are ways to "upload" local files into the client-side app itself, read them, manipulate them, and make them downloadable -- without ever touching the server. Is that what you want? Again, keep in mind, that in that case the file never be sent to the server. It will stay within the client (user's browser) and be available to JavaScript for manipulation.

@rosalyna_24 3 года назад

@@SpinSpire yeah that's what i want like i have already uploaded the pdf and edited it then i want to download it but didn't knowhow to do that
