[javascript] How to save .xlsx data to file as a blob

The answer above is correct. Please be sure that you have a string data in base64 in the data variable without any prefix or stuff like that just raw data.

Here's what I did on the server side (asp.net mvc core):

string path = Path.Combine(folder, fileName);
Byte[] bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);
string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);

On the client side, I did the following code:

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.open("GET", url);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");

xhr.onload = () => {
    var bin = atob(xhr.response);
    var ab = s2ab(bin); // from example above
    var blob = new Blob([ab], { type: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet;' });

    var link = document.createElement('a');
    link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    link.download = 'demo.xlsx';

    document.body.appendChild(link);

    link.click();

    document.body.removeChild(link);
};

xhr.send();

And it works perfectly for me.
