ViewsHow to download .zip file that i recieve from a HTTP response (axios PUT request)
So the API's response contains data property which should contain the .zip file that i need. Its written in a format i do not understand.
The format:
I tried using .blob() as referenced in similar questions here on Stackoverflow, but it doesn't seem to work.
The ideal solution is this: when client presses the button, he should be prompted to download said .zip file (the one from the HTTP response) locally. I'm using axios and the request type is PUT.
My code example so far:
const exportCards = () => {
axios
.put(url, {
ids: ids,
})
.then((res) => {
return res.data.blob();
})
.then((blob) => {
var file = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
window.location.assign(file);
})
.catch((e) => console.log(e));
};

a tag has download attribute, in .then you can try something like that
const url = new Blob([response.data],{type:'application/zip'});
const link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = url;
link.setAttribute('download', 'file.zip'); //set download attribute to link
document.body.appendChild(link);
link.click(); // this will download file.zip
