dwnld-attr-polyfill

GitHub | NPM | @jelmerdemaat

Will polyfill the functionality of the download attribute:

``html
↓ ↓ ↓

Download this (don't navigate to it)

`

in IE11, which doesn't support it. This polyfill is small and works fast.

Usage

Install using npm:

`sh
npm i -S dwnld-attr-polyfill
`
And include it in your JavaScript somewhere:

`sh
import 'dwnld-attr-polyfill';
`

This polyfill automatically does its work. It will:

1. Detect if polyfilling is needed (and otherwise won't do anything)
2. Detect on click if it's on a link with the download attribute
3. Prevent their default behaviour
4. Via an XMLHttpRequest, request the resource and create a blob of data
5. Instruct IE11 to download that data using msSaveBlob
