How to connect jsReport in AngularJS?

Question

I have a problem now about JSReport.. It assumed that I already have an API...What I want now is how to link it with my Client Side which uses AngularJS.

If I use Postman it will return a pdf file which is what I want. But my problem is how to show it is my page when i post it using angularjs..

I have a code like this :

Controller

$scope.Print = function () {
        authService.print().then(function(result){
            var _result = result;
        });
    };

Service

var _print = function () {
        var data = { "template": { "shortid": "byQtwHLPQ" } };
        return $http.post("http://192.168.8.87/api/report", data).then(function (result) {
            return result;
        });
    };

authServiceFactory.print = _print;

Now I have that Code and its not working... I assumed it has no return so I remove the return and just post but still it didn't work and even downloading the pdf didn't work on it.

Anyone can help Please...

Use like this one..

Controller

var parameter = { "template": { "shortid": "ZkMoslfdX" }};
        PrintService.Print(parameter).then(function (result) {
            var file = new Blob([result.data], { type: 'application/pdf' });
            var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
            $scope.content = $sce.trustAsResourceUrl(fileURL);
        });

Service

var reportUrl = "http://192.168.8.87/api/report";
    var _print = function (parameter) {
        return $http.post(reportUrl, parameter, { responseType: 'arraybuffer' }).success(function (response) {
            return response;
        });
    };

The main idea is that the result.data is converted into a blob and create an objectURL so that it is readable and to the object tag and $sce.trustAsResourceUrl used to trust angular to your URL

HTML

<object data="{{content}}" type="application/pdf" style="width:100%;height:80%"></object>

I refer to this post AngularJS: Display blob (.pdf) in an angular app for clarification just read that one.
