IE Compatibility

[mcadelago]

Nice little directive! However, it doesn't seem to be working in internet explorer at the moment. Is there any plan to modify it to work for IE?

Hi there,
Sorry for the late response, I just returned from a vacation.
Apparently IE doesn't support the "download" attribute yet,
I'll try to find a nice Polyfill or a workaround.

same for safari ...

[asafdav]

thanks to @marcgara IE10+ are supported now,
as for safari, currently I could not find a good solution that will keep this library small

Any chance to make it work on IE9 ?

I've just give it a try on IE10, the generated CSV file is wrong. Instead of a multi-line CSV file, there is single continuous line.

[asafdav]

What version did you use ?
I released a new version few days ago that should fix it

[cr0man]

0.2.3 and 0.2.2.
Also I did not understand why is the encoding necessary. The content is already in the browser what is the purpose of encodeURIComponent()?
On Firefox the file is OK, but on IE10, space characters are encoded as %20.

[asafdav]

Probably IE is not complient with the data uri standard,
I'm not sure what you mean by "already in the browser", but you have to encode your data in order to use data uri correctly, please go over this, it should clear it out for you.

Anyway, I'll go over the IE behavior.

as workaround, On :

  function doClick() {
          if(window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) {
              var blob = new Blob([scope.csv], {
            (...)

I modify the blob creation to decode the CSV again :
var blob = new Blob([decodeURIComponent(scope.csv)]

@bingenortuzar Work perfectly, thank

[asafdav]

Do you want to pull request your patch ?
