How to download Excel file in angular 2

I am learning Angular 2 and I am trying to Download the Excel file in angular 2 by fetching customer data from sql server tables using web api.

After searching in google i found some code but using that code i am able to download but it does not contain the proper data and file name is also having some guid format

Below is the code i have used:

Component

GetRemindersData()
{
    var Flag="ALL_SPOTCHECK_RECORDS";
    this.httpService.GetRemindersData(Flag).subscribe(
        data=>this.downloadFile(JSON.stringify(data[1])),
        error => console.log("Error downloading the file."),
        () => console.info("OK"));
}

downloadFile(data:any){
    console.log(data);
    var blob = new Blob([data], { type: 'application/vnd.ms-excel' });
    var url= window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    window.open(url);
}

Service.ts

public GetRemindersData(Flag:string){
    var GetRemindersData_URL:string = 'http://localhost:5000/api/RemindersData/?Flag='+Flag;
    return this.http.get(`${GetRemindersData_URL}`)
                .map((res:Response) => res.json())
                .catch((error:any) => Observable.throw(error.json().error || 'Server error'));
}

Service return json ,it must return blob type,you can do like that

return this.http.get(url,{responseType: ResponseContentType.Blob }).map(
    (res) => {
        return new Blob([res.blob()], { type: 'application/vnd.ms-excel' })
    })
