Note that we set the observe: "response" to catch the header for the filename. Also note that the Content-Disposition header has to be set and exposed by the server, otherwise the current Angular HttpClient will not pass it on. I added a dotnet core piece of code for that below. I got a solution for downloading from angular 2 without getting corrupt, using spring mvc and angular 2. Here I am sending byte[] array has return type from the controller. This will give you xls file format.
If you want other formats change the mediatype and file name with right extension. I was facing this same case today, I had to download a pdf file as an attachment the file shouldn't be rendered in the browser, but downloaded instead. To achieve that I discovered I had to get the file in an Angular Blob , and, at the same time, add a Content-Disposition header in the response.
Well, I wrote a piece of code inspired by many of the above answers that should easily work in most scenarios where the server sends a file with a content disposition header, without any third-party installations, except rxjs and angular. As you can see, it's basically pretty much the average backend call from angular, with two changes. Once the file is fetched from the server, I am in principle, delegating the entire task of saving the file to the helper function, which I keep in a separate file, and import into whichever component I need to.
There, no more cryptic GUID filenames! We can use whatever name the server provides, without having to specify it explicitly in the client, or, overwrite the filename provided by the server as in this example.
Also, one can easily, if need be, change the algorithm of extracting the filename from the content-disposition to suit their needs, and everything else will stay unaffected - in case of an error during such extraction, it will just pass 'null' as the filename. As another answer already pointed out, IE needs some special treatment, as always.
But with chromium edge coming in a few months, I wouldn't worry about that while building new apps hopefully. There is also the matter of revoking the URL, but I'm kinda not-so-sure about that, so if someone could help out with that in the comments, that would be awesome.
You may also download a file directly from your template where you use download attribute and to [attr. This simple solution should work on most browsers. This answer suggests that you cannot download files directly with AJAX, primarily for security reasons.
So I'll describe what I do in this situation,. Add href attribute in your anchor tag inside the component. Do all following steps in your component. If a tab opens and closes without downloading anything, i tried following with mock anchor link and it worked. You can return a Blob object from the server and create an anchor tag and set the href property to an object URL created from the Blob. Now clicking on the anchor will download the file. You can set the file name as well. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

I used step 2 in combination with the answer from Alejandro and it worked without the need to install file-saver Thank you! It works perfectly! I wonder if we can get the filename that is defined on the header of the response. Is that possible? This one however is not suitable for big files download. Can someone please tell why this answer is downvoted? The topic is to download a file using angular2.
If this method works to do a simple download then it should also be marked as a valid answer. SaurabhShetty, This won't help in case you want to send custom headers, what if you want to send an auth token for example? If you look into OP question you can see he uses authHttp!

Service is just a TypeScript class with or even without Injectable decorator. Once you create the service class you need to register it under app. Injectable is a decorator that has a property providedIn. When the service is provided at root level, Angular creates a single, shared instance of service and injects into any class that needs it.
Registering the provider in the Injectable metadata also allows Angular to optimize an application by removing the service if it is not used. If you are not using stricter type then your code should be working fine as it is working for Angular First replace the line this. I am also accepting response as Blob Binary Large Object.
You may also specify any value from supporting values, such as, json, blob, arraybuffer, text. You can have a look for more details on response type. I have used three ways for downloading file — two ways for Save as functionality and one way to show the file content on browser itself.
The above line create a Blob object with file content in response and expecting the file of JSON type. The above two lines create a URL that will open the file in browser in new window. The above line shows the file content on browser, so it does not give you save as option. The above line uses ready-made FileSaver module that will open the file with Save as option.
