This can be achieved using the standard node.JS filesystem API:

var fs = require('fs');
var content = "sample text file content";
fs.writeFile("/folder/filename.txt", content, function(err) {
    if(err) {
        return console.log(err);
    }
    console.log("File succesfully saved to disk.");
});

The Node Filesystem API can be a bit overwhelming, you could check out helper packages like fs-jetpack, which offer some user-friendly abstractions.

Additionally, the Electron API offers a method called dialog.showSaveDialog to determine the filepath using a dialog window.
