How to download created csv file using Google Apps Script?

Question

I\'ve created a file in Google Apps Script as follows

DocsList.createFile(
   \"test.csv\", 
   \"Row1Col1,Row1Col2 \\r\\n Row2Col1,RowCol2 \\r\\n Row3Col1,R

To download a file with apps script you need to either publish the app, and use the doGet() method (otherwise the "downloadFileAs" won't work)

OR...

create the file in Drive, and provide a link in a dialog ui. here are two options for links, one requires users to be logged in the other doesn't taken from here

  var dat=getFileDataFromAnotherFunction();
  var file = DriveApp.createFile('name.csv',dat);
  var t = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('DownloadDialog');
  t.url1 = getDlUrl(file);
  t.url2 = file.getDownloadUrl().replace('&gd=true','') 
  rt =  t.evaluate().setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
  uia.showModalDialog(rt,'Download the csv')

where "DownloadDialog.html"

is the following file (also in the script editor )
