Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Cordova plugin for opening the native Save dialog and storing a file in the user-selected location

Readme

cordova-plugin-save-dialog

This Cordova plugin displays the native Save dialog which allows users to store a file in the selected location.

In Android, the plugin utilizes the Storage Access Framework to save a file in a user-selected location as described in the Android developer guide.

In iOS, the UIDocumentPickerViewController’s method initForExportingURLs:asCopy: is used for opening a document picker that can export a file to the selected folder. Note that this method is only available in iOS 14.0+, so older iOS versions are not supported by the plugin.

Installation

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-save-dialog --save

API

The plugin’s functionality is accessible through the object cordova.plugins.saveDialog.

saveFile

Call this method to open the Save dialog and store raw contents in a file. The method accepts two arguments:

  • file contents as a Blob instance,
  • optional file name to display on default (the user may change it manually though).

The method returns a promise whose fulfillment value is a URI of the saved file in the user-selected location.

To construct a Blob representation for a file contents, either use the Blob constructor directly:

let blob = new Blob(["file contents"], {type: "text/plain"});
let fileName = "my-file.txt";
cordova.plugins.saveDialog.saveFile(blob, fileName).then(uri => {
  console.info("The file has been successfully saved to", uri);
}).catch(reason => {
  console.warn(reason);
});

or apply other methods of blob generation (such as Response.blob() for a network-fetched content):

try {
  let response = await fetch("https://httpbin.org/image/jpeg", {
    headers: {Accept: "image/jpeg"}
  });
  let blob = await response.blob();
  let uri = await cordova.plugins.saveDialog.saveFile(blob, "jackal.jpeg");
  console.info("The file has been successfully saved to", uri);
} catch (e) {
  console.error(e);
}

Do not try to use the returned URI for getting file access. It is provided for information purposes only. The user stores a file outside the application sandbox, so access to the saved resource is to be considered restricted.
