try catch (err) console.error(err); setStatus(`❌ $err.message`, error: true, hideAfter: 8000 ); finally btn.disabled = false; ); | Step | Why it matters | |------|----------------| | Disable button while the request is in flight – avoids duplicate clicks. | | Fetch /download/... – the server streams the file, so large files don’t clog RAM on the client. | | Read Content‑Disposition – guarantees the original filename (including spaces) is used. | | Create a Blob URL & trigger a hidden <a> – works across all modern browsers, even when the response is binary. | | Error handling – shows a friendly message instead of a silent failure. | | Clean‑up – revokes the object URL and removes the temporary link. | 3️⃣ Server‑side endpoint (Node + Express) Why Node? – It’s quick to spin up, works well with streams, and the code can be copied into any existing Express app. If you use a different backend (Python/Flask, Go, .NET, etc.) the core ideas stay the same: validate the request, locate the file, set proper headers, and pipe a read‑stream to the response. server.js
let filePath; try filePath = resolveSafeFile(requestedFile); catch (e) return res.status(400).json( error: 'Bad request' ); | | Create a Blob URL & trigger
