Ember-cli-file-saver

Provides support to save binary file from an API for an Ember CLI application.

Installation

Install the ember-cli addon in your ember-cli project:

``bash
$ ember install ember-cli-file-saver
`

This should also automatically:
- add an NPM dependency to FileSaver.
- add a transport layer for jQuery to handle arraybuffer and blob dataType.

Note that to make this new transport layer works nicely with ember-data it is necessary to make your adapter extend the
adapter-arraybuffer-mixin mixin and pass either arraybuffer:true or blob:true as an AJAX option, otherwise ember-data will
try to interpret the response as JSON.

Usage

$3

This addon provides the ability to import FileSaver as an ES6 module.

`js
import FileSaver from 'file-saver';
`

$3

`js
import ActiveModelAdapter from 'active-model-adapter';
import AdapterArrayBufferMixin from 'ember-cli-file-saver/mixins/adapter-arraybuffer-mixin';

const ApplicationAdapter = ActiveModelAdapter.extend(AdapterArrayBufferMixin);

ApplicationAdapter.reopen({
//
});

export default ApplicationAdapter;
`

$3

`js
import Ember from 'ember';
import FileSaverMixin from 'ember-cli-file-saver/mixins/file-saver';

const { Component, computed } = Ember;

export default Component.extend(FileSaverMixin, {

tagName: 'button',

click() {
this.get('ajax').request(this.get('downloadUrl'), {
method: 'GET',
dataType: 'arraybuffer', // or 'blob'
processData: false
})
.then((content) => this.saveFileAs(this.get('filename'), content, this.get('contentType')));
}
});
`

$3

This works well with the ember-api-actions project:

`js
// models/invoice.js

import Ember from 'ember';
import DS from 'ember-data';
import { memberAction } from 'ember-api-actions';

const { computed } = Ember;
const { belongsTo, attr, Model } = DS;

export default Model.extend({

invoiceNumber: attr('number'),

download: memberAction({ path: 'download', type: 'GET', ajaxOptions: { arraybuffer: true } })
});
`

`js
// in a component

invoiceModel
.download()
.then((pdfContent) => this.saveFileAs('invoice.pdf', pdfContent, 'application/pdf'));

`
