FileSaver.js
============

FileSaver.js implements the W3C `saveAs()` [FileSaver][1] interface in browsers that do
not natively support it. There is a [FileSaver.js demo][2] 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.


Supported Browsers
------------------

| Browser       | Support Type  | Filenames    | Size       | Dependancies |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------ | ---------- | ------------ |
| Firefox 20+   | Blob          | Yes          | 800MiB/per | None         |
| Firefox ≤19   | dataURL       | No           |            | [Blob.js](https://github.com/eligrey/Blob.js) |
| Google Chrome | Blob          | Yes          | 354MiB/per | None         |
| IE 10+        | Blob          | Yes          | 600MiB/per | None         |
| Opera Next    | Blob          | Yes          |            | None         |
| Opera ≤15     | datURL        | No           |            | [Blob.js](https://github.com/eligrey/Blob.js) |
| Safari ≤6     | dataURL       | No           |            | [Blob.js](https://github.com/eligrey/Blob.js) |

Note: Unlisted versions or browsers will probably work too; however only the ones listed above have been tested.

Feature detection is possible:

    try { var isFileSaverSupported = !!new Blob(); } catch(e){}

Syntax
------

    FileSaver saveAs(in Blob data, in DOMString filename)

Examples
--------

### 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`][3] interface is not available in all browsers.
[Blob.js][4] 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][5] is a cross-browser `canvas.toBlob()` implementation that solves
this.

### Aborting a save

    var filesaver = saveAs(blob, "whatever");
    cancel_button.addEventListener("click", function() {
        if (filesaver.abort) {
            filesaver.abort();
        }
    }, false);

This isn't that useful unless you're saving very large files (e.g. generated video).
