I have a problem. I must create a link for download a pdf with server but when click on link the file is not downloaded.
it is important not to expose the PDF link in the client but download the file from the server.
please help me!
in front, I dit it
<div class="historyNavBtns">
<a
v-if="isLoggedIn"
href="/tutorial"
@click="goLinkTutorial"
>
<fa-icon
class="btn bg-blue"
icon="info-circle"
/>
</a>
my method to call api
methods: {
async goLinkTutorial () {
try {
await api.getLinkTutorial()
} catch (error) {
this.$store.dispatch('setMessage', { type: 'error', message: error, timeout: 2000 })
}
},
},
}
in api.js
export async function getLinkTutorial () {
console.log('test')
const response = await apiClient.get('/tutorial')
return response.data
}
In route
router.get('/', getTutorial)
in controller
import { techLogger } from '../util/logger.js'
export const getTutorial = (req, res) => {
try {
res.type('application/pdf').download(new URL('../upload-folder/tutorial.pdf', import.meta.url).pathname, 'tutorial.pdf')
} catch (error) {
techLogger.info(error)
}
}
Instead of getting the downloaded document via axios (or the apiClient) you should create a link to it and click it:
<div class="historyNavBtns">
<a
v-if="isLoggedIn"
href="/tutorial"
download="tutorial.pdf"
>
<fa-icon
class="btn bg-blue"
icon="info-circle"
/>
</a>
If you insist on doing this in a click handler/in javascript you could also do:
export async function getLinkTutorial () {
console.log('test')
//const response = await apiClient.get('/tutorial')
//return response.data
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = '/tutorial';
link.setAttribute('download', 'tutorial.pdf');
document.body.appendChild(link);
link.click();
}
