[JavaScript] Download base64 encoded file within a browser

 , , , , , , , , , 
            const sBase64 = "JVBERi0xLjQKJcOkw7zDtsOfCjIgMCBvYmoKPDwvTGVuZ3....."
            const arrayBuffer = new Uint8Array([...window.atob(sBase64)].map(char => char.charCodeAt(0)))
            const fileLink = document.createElement('a')

            fileLink.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([arrayBuffer]))
            fileLink.setAttribute('download', "example.pdf")
            document.body.appendChild(fileLink)
            fileLink.click()

Or use the npm package FileSaver.

import { saveAs } from "file-saver";

const sBase64 = "JVBERi0xLjQKJcOkw7zDtsOfCjIgMCBvYmoKPDwvTGVuZ3....."
const buffer = Buffer.from(sBase64, "base64") //Buffer is only available when using nodejs
saveAs(new Blob([buffer]), "example.pdf")

        const fs = require("fs")

        try {
            // read from local folder
            const localPDF = fs.readFileSync('PDFs/myFile.pdf')

            //write back to local folder
            fs.writeFileSync('PDFs/writtenBack.pdf', localPDF )

        } catch (err) {
            console.error(err)
        }

Converting to Base64

        try {
            // read from local folder
            const localPDF = fs.readFileSync('PDFs/myFile.pdf')
            const localBase64 = localPDF.toString('base64')

            //write back to local folder
            fs.writeFileSync(`PDFs/writtenBack.pdf`, localBase64, {encoding: 'base64'})

        } catch (err) {
            console.error(err)
        }

Reading and writing using streams with pipe

        //read and write local file
        const reader = fs.createReadStream("PDFs/myFile.pdf")
        const writer = fs.createWriteStream('PDFs/writtenBack.pdf');
        reader.pipe(writer)
