Like Osman Cea said, this can not be done on client side. You can create file using Blob and URL.createObjectURL. But you can not save the file, since that would raise large security problems.

Since you want to record errors, you can post error to server and there store it to database or file system. That means you need some framework on the server side like PHP, ASP.NET Core ...

If you use Google analytics, another option (if you really want to avoid server framework which I do not recommend) is to use Google Analytics API. I once log client side errors to Google analytics with API.

ga('send', {
  hitType: 'event',
  eventCategory: 'Error',
  eventAction: window.location.href,
  eventLabel: your_error_object
});
