this is my code which i am writing in render method, which works fine, but instead of downloading this file it's opening in browser.

<a href="http://www.sites/default/files/2019-01/560_12thMarkSheet.pdf" target="_blank" type="application/pdf; download='some_pdf_name'> length=362340">download</a>

Suppose you have a variable names as "link" in which the link is stored. So you can do,

    <a href={`${link}`} type="application/pdf; download='some_pdf_name'>Download</a>
