Example 2:

Pro Example , incase you need to pass url that contains & , we will just encode the url and then pass it. Let's assume you have to download from this url https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/81325730?v=4 then we will first use encodeURIComponent to remove the & from URL and then pass it in anchor tag.
Simple HTML

<a href="https://triggerdownload.herokuapp.com/api/download?url="+url+"&filename=test&format=jpg">Click to Trigger Download!</a>
<script>
  const url = encodeURIComponent(https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/81325730?v=4)
</script>

React/NextJS

<a href="https://triggerdownload.herokuapp.com/api/download?url="+encodeURIComponent(https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/81325730?v=4)+"&filename=test&format=jpg">Click to Trigger Download!</a>

Similary, you can also pass variable as filename and format !

Second:

You can copy download.js file from public/api folder of this repository and use it as your own API and you can also customise it as per your choice.

ENJOY!
