'How to download a local created file on button click using reactjs
I am making a service call through ReactJS and using request object I created a excel which is stored on my tomcat server location. Now I want to show this file in chrome downloads when I get back the response and show the file location (downloads location) on footer which we usually get when downloading anything through chrome.
My Reactjs code:
render() {
const { excelDownloadUrl } = this.props.productUsers;
if(excelDownloadUrl!=null){
window.location.href = excelDownloadUrl; //This is changing the URL, I need to just download the file to my downloads. In excelDownloadUrl I am getting the excel file location
}
return (
<React.Fragment>
<Row>
<Button outline color="info" type="button" onClick={()=>this.List()} style={{ marginLeft: "15px" }}>
<FontAwesomeIcon icon="file-excel" /> List //On this button click I need to download, getting the excelDownloadUrl from its response only.
</Button>
</Row>
This is the response location from which I am taking the file and need to show in downloads.
Can someone please suggest what I need to use to put this file on my download location and show the download on chrome page footer.

create a link within your return () statement
e.g.
return (
...... all your other stuff
<a href={excelDownloadUrl} download>Download here</a>
)
