Hi There,

I am trying to download a file from my folder on a button click in angular. I tried below code but it's not working. Can someone please suggest what I am missing?

JavaScript

Installed XLSX and file-save npm package
   this.fileName= 'D:\\temp\\Final_output.xlsx';  
     var data = new Blob([this.fileName], { type: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet' });
    FileSaver.saveAs(data, this.fileName);

through above code I am able to download the file but while opening that xlsx file I am getting an error, invalid file type or extension.

So I tried below code:

JavaScript

this.fileName= 'D:\\temp\\Final_output.xlsx';  
FileSaver.saveAs(this.fileName, "OutputFile");

This is not working at all.

Please help.

Thanks

Consult the documentation about how to do what you want to do. It's not clear from your question what you're trying to do, but you won't be able to load files from the client system via js. If the xlsx file is on your server then you'll need to stream it from a url rather than accessing it by path.
