[jmeng...@gmail.com]

Hi. how can i preview the pdf report before downloading it,while using Node API?.Here is my code

router.get('/reports',function(req,res){

  

   var data ={

     template:{"shortid":"ryK9rleol", "recipe" : "phantom-pdf"},

     data:{'name':'john'},

     options:{ 

       preview: true

      }

   }

  var options ={

    url:'http://localhost:4000/api/report',

    method:'POST',

    json:data

  }

  

  

  request(options).pipe(res);

 

  

 

})

You can specify the response content disposition header

i have added  "options": { "Content-Disposition": "attachment; filename=myreport.pdf" },but its still downloading whenever i call that endpoint.

Please check the documentation for this header

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Disposition

you should use inline instead of attachment.

i dont know what exactly that am doing wrong.i have changed to inline and its still not working.here is my modified code

router.get('/reports',function(req,res){

  

   var data ={

     "template":{"shortid":"ryK9rleol", "recipe" : "phantom-pdf"},

     "data":{'name':'john'},

     "options": {"Content-Disposition":"inline"}

   }

  var options ={

    url:'http://localhost:4000/api/report',

    method:'POST',

    json:data

  }

  

  

  request(options).pipe(res);

 

  

 

})

The same code works for me. Do you have browser which supports pdf preview? You may need to check your browser settings.

In every case this is not jsreport related...
