downloading xlsx file in angular 2 with blob

Question

I want to download xlsx file from the client on angular 2 using rest api.

I\'m getting a byte array as a response from my GET request and I\'m sending it to download

Answer 1

After nothing works. I changed my server to return the same byte array with the addition of:

    response.setContentType("application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=deployment-definitions.xlsx");

At my client I deleted the download function and instead of the GET part i did:

window.open(this.restUrl, "_blank");

This is the only way I found it possible to save an xlsx file that is not corrupted.

If you have a answer about how to do it with blob please tell me :)
