It actualy depends on how browser loads it — Dmitriy Snitko. So, go to terminal and then run this below command to install file saver. So, write this below code in your typescript file.

Line 4 to Here in these lines, we are getting file extension. And then getting the exact file type. Line Here in this line, we are calling the download service with two parameters fileName and fileType.

Line Here in this line, after getting successful api call, we are calling saveAs function from file saver service which we have install above. There are two parameters in saveAs function. The one success is for data and the other one fileName is for file name. Do you have any suggestions? In this post I am going to show you how to download file from server using Angular framework. Angular is a UI user Interface framework for building rapid application development. You can use any server side technology and integrate this example with it for downloading file from server.

I am going to use here Spring Boot framework as a server side technology. I will provide link as well as button, on which user will click and download the file from server. I will also show how to give end users Save as option while downloading file and how to display file content on the browser. Go through the following steps for creating Angular project to download file from server using Angular.

Go through the link Creating Angular Project to create a new project. Make sure you give the project name as angular-file-download.

For Angular 11 , you will find another option to set whether you want to use stricter type or not. Here I am using stricter type and later I will show you how to use stricter type for response and error. Remember the file extension ts service. This is all you need to get your AngularJS app running. But this requirement is quite new to me. Well, user wants to export to excel feature on one of our application page where we are using filtered data based upon some parameters.

The design decision was on me whether to choose server side. Most of the references on the web about this issue point out to the fact that you cannot download files via ajax call 'out of the box'.

Download response as an excel file. Ask Question 3. File is not downloading at browser.
