How can I download html5 canvas drawing as image

Question

I just recently uploaded my code files to a server. My website is a simple html5 drawing application where users are able to draw freely. I have this part done fine, however I am looking to implement a download button that simply downloads whatever the user has drawn as an image directly to their device ie phone, table, desktop. I have been looking for solutions to this for hours now and cant find anything. Is it a problem with my server? or anything like that? any help would be much appreciated. Below is my code

<!DOCTYPE html>

@media screen and (max-width: 425px){

html,body{

    width: 100%;
    margin: 0;
}

You can use the Canvas#toDataURL method to generate a URL containing all the data of the canvas's current image. This can then be used in place of any URL -- a link's href , a window.open , etc. For a download link, you can use the download attribute on a link, which is an HTML5 addition. The value of the download attribute is the filename that will be used as the default save filename.

So to put all that together:

<a id='downloadLink' download='myDrawing.png'>Download Image</a>
<script>
    function createDownload() {
        const downloadURL = document.getElementById('c').toDataURL();
        document.getElementById('downloadLink').href = downloadURL;
    }
</script>
