Javascript download a URL - Azure Blob Storage

I am using Azure Blob Storage, and I want users to be able to download files. When a user clicks a file they want to download, I use AJAX to generate a shared access signature and return the URL to download from. Is there any way for me to then, using Javascript, download the file? Or is there some other method I can use... I also would like it to not run server side, as there is no reason to incur unnecessary cost when I should be able to download directly from the URL...

Basically, how Dropbox does it... Is it submitting some form somehow? It doesn't even have to be like that.

Once you have the url to download the file you can use the package fs-browsers.
It has nice and easy download method for client-side.
It goes like this:

import { downloadFile } from 'fs-browsers';
downloadFile(url-to-the-file);
