//@param fileName {string} - Name of the file to download include file extension

function downloadFile(fileName, urlData) {

    var aLink = document.createElement('a');
    aLink.download = fileName;
    aLink.href = urlData;

    var event = new MouseEvent('click');
    aLink.dispatchEvent(event);
}

var data = '"Column One","Column Two","Column Three"';
downloadFile('2.csv', 'data:text/csv;charset=UTF-8,' + encodeURIComponent(data));
