Help - code to download raw

[golango]

Can you help me with adding a download button to get the raw files from play.golang.org?

I can't provide a detailed walkthrough, but I can give you some pointers: 1) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3749231/download-file-using-javascript-jquery on how this can be done (you need to post current editor contents to the server, and the server needs to return the same payload with appropriate MIME Type and suggested filename). 2) use the "Share" button and code behind it as a template: duplicate the button in the UI, use code similar to this to send editor data back to the server (use a different server URL, e.g. /download instead of /share). On the server, implement the /download handler similar to this that would just return the data back with some headers as suggested above.

I get this error when compiling, component/app/app.go:248:2: bodyBytes declared but not used

Where am I going wrong?

server.go

...
...
import (
        "fmt"
...
...
http.HandleFunc("/download", downloadHandler)
...
...
func runDownload(body io.Reader) ([]byte, error) {
        return doRequest("POST", "https://play.golang.org/share", "text/plain", body)
}
...
...
func downloadHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        defer r.Body.Close()

        if r.Method != http.MethodPost {
                http.Error(w, "Method not allowed", http.StatusMethodNotAllowed)
                return
        }

        bodyBytes, err := runDownload(r.Body)
        if err != nil {
                http.Error(w, "Failed to send download request", http.StatusInternalServerError)
                return
        }
        w.Header().Set("Content-Disposition", fmt.Sprintf(`attachment; filename="code.go"`))
        w.Header().Set("Content-type", "text/plain")
        w.Write(bodyBytes)
}
...
...

app.go

...
...
func (a *Application) downloadButtonClick(e *vecty.Event) {
        a.doDownload()
}

func (a *Application) doDownload() {

        a.doFormat()
        bodyBytes, err := xhr.Send("POST", "/download", []byte(a.Input))
        if err != nil {
                a.err = err.Error()
                return
        }

}
...
...
        elem.Button(
                        vecty.UnsafeHTML("Download"),
                        event.Click(a.downloadButtonClick),
                ),
...

That looks too complicated! Can there just be a simple download button that can download a shared snippet. Because if you add .go to the snippet id on play.golang.org, it returns the raw file, for example, https://play.golang.org/p/v3rrZLwEUC.go
