I use a web page to create an xml file with javascript. I would like to write xml string into a file in a specific directory on my computer with neutralinojs. Is it possible to open a file saver browser or to specify directly in the code the path of the file which will be saved (or current directory).

Thank you.

You need to specify the directory with the file name as shown in the official example:

Neutralino.filesystem.writeFile('D:\\files\\librairies\\Desktop\\file1.txt','hello world',
    function (data) {
        console.log(data);
    },
    function () {
        console.error('error');
    }
);

You can also open a file saver dialog before writing the file. The following code will open a file saver dialog:

let response = await Neutralino.os.showDialogSave({
  title: 'Save to file'
});

You can use the response to write the file:

//response.selectedEntry holds the chosen file path and name (e.g. "C:/TEST/myFile.txt")
await Neutralino.filesystem.writeFile({
  fileName: response.selectedEntry,
  data: 'my file content'
});

You have to put that code within a async function.

Complete code:

async function saveMyFile()
  let response = await Neutralino.os.showDialogSave({
    title: 'Save to file'
  });
  await Neutralino.filesystem.writeFile({
    fileName: response.selectedEntry,
    data: 'my file content'
  });
}

saveMyFile();
