    Welcome to Stack Overflow. Stack Overflow is the place to ask questions about problems with _your code_. It's _not_ the place to ask for a tutorial or some free programmer to do your job for you. Please check out [How to ask a good question](https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask). Then edit your question with what you've tried yourself and where you're running into issues. – icecub Jul 23 '22 at 09:15

var link = document.createElement('a');
var file_name = $('.download_btn').attr('href');
link.href = file_name;
var filename = file_name.split('/').pop();
link.download = filename;
link.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('click'));

    Your answer could be improved by adding more information on what the code does and how it helps the OP. – Tyler2P Jul 23 '22 at 15:08
