工作中有时需要通过 JavaScript 保存文件到本地，我们都知道 JavaScript 基于安全的考虑，是不允许直接操作本地文件的。
IE 可以通过 VB 插件的方式进行，而 Chrome 和 firefox 都不支持 JavaScript 向本地写入文件，所以 VB 插件的方式存在兼容性问题。
那有没有适合的方法呢？答案是肯定的，我们可以通过 FileSaver.js 这个小插件实现我们的需求。下面看一段具体的代码吧：
/**
* 下载文件
*/
var downloadTextFile = function(mobileCode) {
if(isEmpty(mobileCode)) {
mobileCode = \'\';
}
var file = new File([mobileCode], "手机号.txt", { type: "text/plain;charset=utf-8" });
saveAs(file);
}
这个示例是向本地存储一个名字叫“手机号.txt”的文本文件，采用的字符编码格式为“UTF-8”，这样就避免的中文乱码的问题。聪明的你也赶快试试吧！
