Download text/csv content as files from server in Angular

Question

I am trying to stream a csv file from a node.js server. The server portion is very simple :

server.get(\'/orders\' function(req, res) {
  res.se         


        

Answer 1

Using angular 1.5.9

I made it working like this by setting the window.location to the csv file download url. Tested and its working with the latest version of Chrome and IE11.

Angular

   $scope.downloadStats = function downloadStats{
        var csvFileRoute = '/stats/download';
        $window.location = url;
    }

html

 CSV

In php set the below headers for the response:

$headers = [
    'content-type'              => 'text/csv',
    'Content-Disposition'       => 'attachment; filename="export.csv"',
    'Cache-control'             => 'private, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0',
    'Content-transfer-encoding' => 'binary',
    'Expires' => '0',
    'Pragma' => 'public',
];
