Download text/csv content as files from server in Angular

Question

I am trying to stream a csv file from a node.js server. The server portion is very simple :

server.get(\'/orders\' function(req, res) {
  res.se

$http service returns a promise which has two callback methods as shown below.

$http({method: 'GET', url: '/someUrl'}).
  success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
     var anchor = angular.element('');
     anchor.attr({
         href: 'data:attachment/csv;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURI(data),
         target: '_blank',
         download: 'filename.csv'
     })[0].click();

  }).
  error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
    // handle error
  });
