How to download pdf file from server using angular?

Question

Angular

With the help of $http using the POST method, I make a request to the server where a pdf file is generated for me. How can I force Angular to download what it generated for me?

Answer 1

Why the hell do you need to hang unnecessary things on the frontend?
This is a purely server task, send a request, accept a response, recognize and process.

Answer 2

It is more correct for the server to specify the header 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="name.pdf", which will force the files not to be opened, but to be downloaded. And in the browser "go" to the url to the file using location
