So I need to register it in providers array of NgModule. Run the Angular application angular-file-download by executing command ng serve --open. When you click on link or button for downloading file you will see below page with file save option:. When you use the code for displaying data on browser inside download function of controller code and click on button or link, then you should see below output:. For server side code you can read the post on Download file using Angular and Spring Boot.
Hi, There is no such step other than running the command for installing file-saver package. You can check what goes wrong in the browser conaole. If only more tutorials on Angular were as succinctly and thoughtfully written as this.
Well done!! I need to show save dialog box to user so he can save file any where. Hi, thank you for your helpful post. Do you know how to download files bigger than 2GB and save them directly on the filesystem? It seems that this way the file lands first in the memory of the browser.

Reducing the weight of our footer. A link-based solution conforms well to HTML standards and lets the browser do most of the work.
However, if you want more control over the download and would like to display some custom progress indicator you can also download files via Angular's HttpClient. A file is best represented as a Blob in the browser:. The Blob object represents a blob, which is a file-like object of immutable, raw data -- MDN web docs. By specifying the responseType option we can perform a GET request returning a blob representing the downloaded file. Let's assume we've got a designated DownloadService doing just that:.
A component would then be able to call this service, subscribe to the corresponding observable and eventually save the file like this:.
Here, we're creating an anchor tag programmatically when the blob arrives. With URL. Finally, we click the link like the user would've done with a regular browser download link. After the file is downloaded, we'll discard the blob by revoking the object URL we created. This approach is pretty verbose though and might not work smoothly for every browser. Therefore I'd advise you to use the popular library FileSaver. The saving then becomes a one-liner:. If you don't like adding a dependency for this and would prefer to use the manual approach shown before, you might as well refactor the code for saving the blob into a separate service.
You can also create a custom injection token for URL - also see below how we'll do this for FileSaver. By setting the option observe to events while making an HTTP request, we won't just receive the final response body of the request but also get access to intermediate HTTP events.
We also need to explicitly pass the option reportProgress in order to receive HttpProgressEvents. Our HTTP request will eventually look like follows:. Since we don't just want to forward these events to every component, our service has to do some more work. Otherwise our component would have to deal with HTTP specifics - that's what services are for!
Instead let's introduce a data structure representing a download with progress:. A Download can be in one of three states. Either it hasn't started yet, therefore it's pending. Otherwise it's done or still in progress. We use TypeScript's union types to define the different download states. Additionally, a download has a number indicating the download progress from 1 to
