Downloading an archive created with mongodump
So I've done it like this:
@api.route('/exportDB', methods=['GET'])def exportDB(): subprocess.check_output(['mongodump','--archive=db.gz', '--gzip', '--db', 'my_db']) response = send_from_directory("path/to/folder", 'db.gz', as_attachment=True) response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/javascript" return responseOn client side I have:
$http({ method: 'GET', url: '/intro/exportDB', responseType: 'blob'}).then(function(response) { var data = new Blob([response.data]); saveAs(data, "db.gz"); }Where saveAs is from Filesaver.js from here
