Function: downloadMedia() ​

downloadMedia(source, filename): void

Defined in: media/utils.ts:80

Request a browser download of a file URL or Blob from a user interaction. URL strings are linked directly without fetching. Cross-origin URLs may open in a new tab unless the server serves them as attachments. Fetch a Blob first when CORS permits it and the filename/download behavior must be controlled. Only URLs created here are revoked, after a short browser handoff period. This requests a download; it cannot observe whether the browser saves the file.

Parameters ​

source ​

string | Blob

A file URL or already fetched/encoded bytes.

filename ​

string

Suggested filename, including its extension.

Returns ​

void
