使用download.js突破浏览器限制自动下载服务端文件

需求

用户点击按钮，发送一些参数给服务端。
服务端动态生成文件地址。
生成完毕后，返回下载地址，浏览器根据文件地址自动做下载操作。

当前限制

由于浏览器安全策略的限制，
window.open("文件地址")或者自己创建a标签，JS模拟点击这两个方案都会被浏览器拦截。

解决思路

chrome支持blob对象和FileReader方法。
我们可以通过ajax获取服务端生成文件的数据，然后浏览器自己构造文件去读取。
已有开源的库封装了浏览器构造文件的过程，我们直接使用即可。

Demo

这里使用了download.js。

var downloadJS = require('download.js');
var x=new XMLHttpRequest();
x.open("GET", '下载文件的地址', true);
x.responseType = 'blob';
x.onload=function(e){downloadJS(x.response, '下载文件的名称', 'application/rar' ); }
x.send();

其源码如下

//download.js v4.2, by dandavis; 2008-2016. [CCBY2] see http://danml.com/download.html for tests/usage
// v1 landed a FF+Chrome compat way of downloading strings to local un-named files, upgraded to use a hidden frame and optional mime
// v2 added named files via a[download], msSaveBlob, IE (10+) support, and window.URL support for larger+faster saves than dataURLs
// v3 added dataURL and Blob Input, bind-toggle arity, and legacy dataURL fallback was improved with force-download mime and base64 support. 3.1 improved safari handling.
// v4 adds AMD/UMD, commonJS, and plain browser support
// v4.1 adds url download capability via solo URL argument (same domain/CORS only)
// v4.2 adds semantic variable names, long (over 2MB) dataURL support, and hidden by default temp anchors
