I have a binary zip file coming in as the response of an api call. I want to download that zip file directly using Javacript/React. How can I achieve this?

  • FYI, I am getting a binary file as the response type from the api I am hitting. I need a way to download this binary file into my local file system – Mohit Kamal Apr 28 '23 at 10:05

Read this FileReader and try this function:

function readFile(binaryFile) {

  let reader = new FileReader();

  reader.readAsArrayBuffer(binaryFile);

// in success case, do something with result
  reader.onload = function() {
    console.log(reader.result);
  };

// in error case, do something with result
  reader.onerror = function() {
    console.log(reader.error);
  };

}

best regards!
