Hi,

I am using json2csv lib to generate file on the server and then using res.download prompting user to download it.

I see file downloaded as blob and without file extension.

Here is my code:

res.setHeader('Content-type', 'text/csv'); res.download(filepath, filename, function () { fs.unlinkSync(filepath); });

filename - download.pdf filepath - full path with filename

Issue fixed.

Used ngx-filesaver in angular front and save file. https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngx-filesaver
