render-dl-link v1.0.0

render-download-link

Takes a blob and puts a link on the page so that the user can download the contents of that blob.

Installation

npm install render-dl-link

Usage

var renderDownloadLink = require('render-dl-link');

renderDownloadLink({
  blob: createEncodedBlob(audioBuffer),
  parentSelector: '#downloads',
  downloadLinkText: 'Download the mix',
  filename: 'mix.wav'
});

This will yield a link under the downloads element in the page that says "Download the mix." When the user clicks on the link, they will get a file dialog that will download the contents of the provided blob, in this case, an audio file.

Here's some information on how to create a blob in the browser.

The implementation is eight lines of code (I put in a package so that I prefer not to repeat them across projects). It's here as much for reference (perhaps moreso) than for reuse.
