how to download file from server on ng-click in angular?

I have an Action which dowloads file to a local system. File can be jpeg pdf, or word.

Now when I run this action using ASP.Net, file is downloaded. But when I am calling this action on ng-click of a button. Neither I am getting any error nor file is getting downloaded.

Code Snipppet

$scope.downloadFile = function () {
    debugger;
    $http(
        {
            url: '/ControllerName/DownloadFile',
            method: 'POST',
            data: {},
            responseType: 'arraybuffer' ,
        })
    .success(function (data, status) {
        if (status == 200) {
            var file = new Blob([data], { type: 'Application/msword' });
            saveAs(file, 'test.docx');
            alert('File downloaded');

        }
    })
    .error(function () {
        alert("Error");
    })
}

In this scenaio , it is quiiet obivious that I will get an error saveAs Not defined. Hence, I included filesaver.js

Now I am not sure how to include fileSaver dependency to my controller. Because if I just include in the following way:-

app.module('myApp',['fileSaver']);

again I get error.

How to get rid of this error or if there is any other way to download file?

Note: File can be jpeg, word, pdf, zip I am using button tag

Here no need to inject any angular injection, just include the file directly in your project it will work

you can include this js file for downloading

https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js/blob/master/FileSaver.js

app.js

app.module('myApp',[]);

remove fileSaver from app.js
