How to make download file button in react js

To create a download file button in React.js, follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary dependencies:
javascript
import React from 'react'; import { saveAs } from 'file-saver';
  1. Create a function that handles the download action:
javascript
const handleDownload = () => { // Create a new Blob object with the desired content const fileContent = 'This is the content of the file you want to download.'; const blob = new Blob([fileContent], { type: 'text/plain;charset=utf-8' }); // Use the saveAs function from the file-saver library to initiate the download saveAs(blob, 'download.txt'); };
  1. Create a button component and attach the handleDownload function to the button's onClick event:
javascript
const DownloadButton = () => { return ( <button onClick={handleDownload}> Download File </button> ); };
  1. Use the DownloadButton component wherever you want to display the download button:
javascript
const App = () => { return ( <div> <h1>Download Button Example</h1> <DownloadButton /> </div> ); };
  1. Finally, render the App component in your root file (usually index.js):
javascript
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

With these steps, you should have a functioning download file button in your React.js application. When the button is clicked, it will generate a Blob object with the desired content and initiate the file download using the saveAs function from the file-saver library. The downloaded file will be named "download.txt" and contain the content "This is the content of the file you want to download."
