Requirement: I have REST WebService which is used to download a file from the Oracle UCM Server. The file extension is .xls

Now, when I invoke the REST WebService passing value of the valid parameter(s), it returns me the response in which the Document Content is Base64Encoded.

Thus, in this post, I will show you the JavaScript function that will Decode and Download the Document Content which is Base64Encoded.

Solution: For solution of the above requirement we will use the below JavaScript code.

define([], function() {
  'use strict';

  var PageModule = function PageModule() {};

  PageModule.prototype.downloadFile = function(fileBytes) {
    var blob;
    blob = converBase64toBlob(fileBytes,
      'application/vnd.ms-excel');
    var filename = "test.xls";
    if (navigator.msSaveBlob) {
      navigator.msSaveBlob(blob, filename);
    } else {
      var link = document.createElement("a");
      if (link.download !== undefined) {
        var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        link.setAttribute("href", url);
        link.setAttribute("download", filename);
        link.style.visibility = 'hidden';
        document.body.appendChild(link);
        link.click();
        document.body.removeChild(link);
      }
    }
  };

  function converBase64toBlob(content, contentType) {
    contentType = contentType || '';
    var sliceSize = 512;
    var byteCharacters = window.atob(
      content); 
    var byteArrays = [];
    for (var offset = 0; offset < byteCharacters.length; offset +=
      sliceSize) {
      var slice = byteCharacters.slice(offset, offset + sliceSize);
      var byteNumbers = new Array(slice.length);
      for (var i = 0; i < slice.length; i++) {
        byteNumbers[i] = slice.charCodeAt(i);
      }
      var byteArray = new Uint8Array(byteNumbers);
      byteArrays.push(byteArray);
    }
    var blob = new Blob(byteArrays, {
      type: contentType
    }); 
    return blob;
  }

  return PageModule;
});

Hence, the solution to our requirement.
