The showSaveDialog() API does not save the file for you. You must use the returned path and use Node to save your file.

const {dialog} = require("electron").remote;
const fs = require('fs');

var savePath = dialog.showSaveDialog({});

fs.writeFile(savePath, fileData, function(err) {
    // file saved or err
});
