You can hit a API which will download the excel file. In order to do so you just need set specific header to download Excel file. here are 

   def show
    respond_to do |format|
       format.html { # render normal show here }
       format.xls { # render excel file here }
    end
   end

And make http://localhost:3000/data/5.xls request from your angular app which will prompt to download excel file
