How can I unzip the zipped file using AngularJs?

I want to unzip the zipped file while downloading the file using AngularJS.

I am trying with the following code,

For eg:

<a download="My_File.PNG" target="_self" ng-href="Path of the zip file/My_File.PNG.zip">My_File.PNG</a>

How can I download the actual file My_File.PNG from My_File.PNG.zip in the browser?

It's a little bit late, but the problem is in the angular request. You have to pass a special parameter, as in
$http.get('...', { responseType: "arraybuffer" }).success(successfunc);
and then proceed with the unzip. Search for this...

You can't do it from angular directly, but you can call use the JSUnzip library which you can call from your angular controller https://github.com/augustl/js-unzip

     var myZip = ... // Get it with an XHR request, HTML5 files, etc.
     var unzipper = new JSUnzip(myZip);
     unzipper.isZipFile();      // true or false

     unzipper.readEntries();    // Creates "entries"
     unzipper.entries;          // Array of JSUnzip.ZipEntry objects.
