TypeScript saving a file to a server

Question

I am altering an existing API that uses TypeScript. I need to have the API save a file to an external server. Is there a way to do this without having a Save File window show up in TypeScript? Can I pass a var from a .ts file to a .cs file in ASP.NET MVC instead and have that save it using System.IO.File.WriteAllText?

Answer 1

Let me ask some follow up questions. You are currently maintaining an existing TypeScript API, I presume this API is client side in a web application? Or is this TypeScript running on the server via a console app?

If it's on the client in a web application you will need to use a standard HTTP Post to send the file back to the server (which i'm presuming is the asp.net MVC application). Let me know if this is what you're looking for and I will help you with your solution.
