Description

I think adding a generate button to the webview which allows to generate and download a zip-file containing all generated files would be a nice addition. Currently the webview seems like a good POC but doesn't offer much functionality.
We currently have a working example in our project following this post by Christian Dietrich and in our opinion works good enough to be a welcome addition to this project.
