Please explain what this code does and how it does it. – M-Chen-3 Apr 21 '21 at 18:27
So you can use this code inside a function, add the click event handler to the a tag which will call this function. Give whatever name you want to give to the file. This should let you download the file for you. – Rushikesh Mhetre Apr 23 '21 at 07:43
