Angular File-saver: How to prompt the 'Save As' window and not save directly

Question

I am using the file-saver to save a file on client browser. However the file is directly getting downloaded.

const blob = new Blob([data.body], {type: 'application/'pdf});
  FileSaver.saveAs(blob, 'export.pdf')

How to prompt the "Save As" window so user can save it with their own name and location.

I have seen a few answers on changing the settings in the browser, but wanted to know if file-saver has an api or any tweak in the code can prompt the window.

Note:- There aren't many resources on file-saver Save As API ( If not for browser settings.

I Am facing the same issue . Were you able to solve this issue? — Sachin, Apr 04 '22 at 20:06

const mediaType = 'application/pdf';
const blob = new Blob([value], { type: mediaType });
const url= window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
window.open(url);

So you're saying not to use the FileSaver to do it? – General Grievance May 05 '23 at 03:51
You can solve it without filesaver as well – Gabor Sandor May 06 '23 at 05:09
