Angularjs download response as file

You can receive and send binary data I've wrestled with this myself, trying to make it work from the server. Not my specialty, but I believe there are ways to allow download via GET without needing to write to server's local filesystem first. It's entirely a question of how the server reacts to the request: does it delegate to some kind of 'download-a-named-local-file' subsystem, or does it simply package a stream of bits as if it had been read from file, and then return it to the client?

Either can work. The client doesn't care as long as the right bits arrive in the right order. How you get there just goes to objectives and capabilities.

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. Service is one of fundamental blocks of every Angular application. Service is just a TypeScript class with or even without Injectable decorator. Once you create the service class you need to register it under app.

Injectable is a decorator that has a property providedIn. When the service is provided at root level, Angular creates a single, shared instance of service and injects into any class that needs it.

Registering the provider in the Injectable metadata also allows Angular to optimize an application by removing the service if it is not used. If you are not using stricter type then your code should be working fine as it is working for Angular First replace the line this. I am also accepting response as Blob Binary Large Object. You may also specify any value from supporting values, such as, json, blob, arraybuffer, text.
