Download

Downloads the textContent of an element to a .txt file on click. Uses the element itself by default, but another element can be specified.

Usage

A common usecase is to add a download button to your page.

<script>
    import { download } from 'svu/action';
    let target;
</script>

<p bind:this={target}>This text will be downloaded</p>

<button use:download={target}>download</button>

Options

You can either pass in the target option (as seen below) as an HTMLElement, or an options object with the following properties:

target

changes the behaviour of this thing

• Optional: yes
• Type: HTMLElement
• Default value: the element itself

name

The name of the downloaded file (including extension).

• Optional: yes
• Type: string
• Default value: 'download.txt'

Events

This action does not emit any events.

Caveats

This currently only supports the 'text/plain' MIME type.

You can not yet pass in the target by query selector, unlike most other svus.
