I am working on a task, in which I have to download a report in xlsx format. The report file is generated successfully from server, and is received on client side as well.

You a just need to do one thing only that. include following js to save file locally. Download it from "https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js/" your response data should be in blob type.

I have implemented it and its working.

function downloadfile(url,defaultFileName){
  var self = this;
    var deferred = $q.defer();
    $http.get(url, { responseType: "blob" }).then(
       function (data){
          saveAs(data.data, defaultFileName)
          deferred.resolve(defaultFileName);                    
        }, function (data) {
           var e = /* error */
            deferred.reject(e);
        });
        return deferred.promise;
}
