files.fileDownload.useModernApi

← Back to the parameter index

Asks the browser for a save dialog (File System Access API) once the file is downloaded, where supported and while the click still counts as a user action, otherwise saves normally; the file is always read from the same API endpoint.

This is a compact property lookup. Use the contextual guide below for the complete feature model, configuration sequence, interactions, examples, and limitations.

Contextual guide and evidence

• Contextual guide: Open the complete human guide
• Source: apps/panel/src/features/panels/variants/files/components/File.client.vue, symbol useModernApi
• Example coverage: Complete — The Files fixture explicitly enables the modern browser download option and documents its false default.
• Demo coverage: Partial — The Files tab enables useModernApi and exposes real metadata and byte endpoints, but native browser save behavior remains browser-capability-dependent. Open the runnable demo .

The panel source named above remains authoritative for runtime behavior. This secondary reference page is generated from the reviewed parameter matrix and does not replace the contextual guide.
