How to open Blob URL on Chrome iOS
None of these solutions worked for me on Safari. I had to create a link on the page.
const downloadBlob = (fileName, blob) => {
const link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
link.target = '_blank';
link.download = fileName;
document.body.appendChild(link);
link.click();
}
const blob = new Blob([data], { type: 'video/mp4' });
downloadBlob('myfile.mp4', blob)
FileReader solved my problem.
var reader = new FileReader();
var out = new Blob([this.response], {type: 'application/pdf'});
reader.onload = function(e){
window.location.href = reader.result;
}
reader.readAsDataURL(out);
FileReader.readAsBinaryString method has been deprecated.
Bit late, but I had todo something similar using the FileReader.readAsDataURL - which produces a dataUrl. I'm using AngularJS $http service to call the API to create a pdf. Hope this helps, see below:
$http.post('/api/pdf', {id: '123'}, {responseType: 'arraybuffer'})
.success(function (response) {
var blob = new Blob([response.data], {type: 'application/pdf'});
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function(e) {
$window.open(reader.result);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(blob);
});
