Force download GET request using axios

Question

I\'m using vuejs 2 + axios. I need to send a get request, pass some params to server, and get a PDF as a response. Server uses Laravel.

So

axios.get(         


        

Answer 1

I tried some of the above suggested approaches but in my case the browser was sending me the popup block warning. The code described below worked for me:

axios.get(url, {responseType: 'arraybuffer'})
   .then(function (response) {
     var headers = response.headers();
     var blob = new Blob([response.data],{type:headers['content-type']});
     var link = document.createElement('a');
     link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
     link.download = "Your_file_name";
     link.click();
});
