FileSaverJsGwt

FileSaverJsGwt is a tiny and trivial GWT wrapper around filesaver.js library. The purpose of the library is to allow file downloads on the client side.

Usage

1. Add the library to your classpath, either via jar, or via whatever build system you are familiar with.

   <dependency>
       <groupId>org.ainslec</groupId>
       <artifactId>gwt-filesaver</artifactId>
       <version>1.0.0</version>
        <type>gwt-lib</type>
   </dependency>

2. Add the following line to your .gwt.xml file

         <inherits name='org.consoli.filesaver.FileSaver'/>

3. Use the FileSaver.saveText() or FileSaver.saveBlob() methods to save text or binary information to a file via the browser.

         // To save as text
         FileSaver.saveText(fileName, fileText);
         // To save binary information
         FileSaver.saveBlob(fileName, blob); // The blob must be a JavascriptObject representing a standard Blob object.
