A simple example using the Blob() constructor:
export function someFunction(values) {
return (dispatch) => {
...
const method = 'GET';
const url = 'http://go.api/download_file';
...
axios
.request({
url,
method,
responseType: 'blob', //important
})
.then(({ data }) => {
const downloadUrl = window.URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([data]));
const link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = downloadUrl;
link.setAttribute('download', 'file.zip'); //any other extension
document.body.appendChild(link);
link.click();
link.remove();
});
};
}

Hi! Thank you very much for this solution!
Is there a way to, instead of downloading the file, put it in a variable to send it to the server side? Thanks!
