axio request must be added in responseType: 'blob' parameters, as follows
//download file api.download=function(id) { return request({ url: this.baseUrl + '/ download /' + id, method: 'get', params: {}, responseType: 'blob' }) }
Which returns the result to do the following treatment
.then( res => { let blob = new Blob([res], {type: res.type}) let downloadElement = document.createElement('a') let href = window.URL.createObjectURL (blob); // create a download link downloadElement.href = href; downloadElement.download = fileName; // download file name after document.body.appendChild(downloadElement); downloadElement.click (); // Download document.body.removeChild (downloadElement); // Download the complete removal of elements window.URL.revokeObjectURL (href); // release the blob })
