Tech Journey With Gagan: How to open Blob Files in New Tab using dot net and angular

Step 1: Add This code to Angular app

Angular code


  async openImageInNewTab(url:any){
    
   await this.blobService.getFile(url).then(res=>{
      if(res.success){
        this.openFile(res.result.fileContent,res.result.contentType);
      }
    })
  }

  openFile(base64Data: string, mimeType: string): void {
    const fileUrl = `data:${mimeType};base64,${base64Data}`;
    const newTab = window.open(); // Open a new tab
    if (newTab) {
      if (mimeType.startsWith('image/')) {
        newTab.document.write(`
          <html>
            <head><title>Image Viewer</title></head>
            <body style="margin: 0; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; height: 100vh;">
              <img src="${fileUrl}" style="max-width: 100%; max-height: 100%;" />
            </body>
          </html>
        `);
      } else if (mimeType === 'application/pdf') {
        newTab.document.write(`
          <html>
            <head><title>PDF Viewer</title></head>
            <body style="margin: 0; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; height: 100vh;">
              <embed src="${fileUrl}" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" type="application/pdf" />
            </body>
          </html>
        `);
      } else {
        // For unsupported types, force download
        const link = document.createElement('a');
        link.href = fileUrl;
        link.download = 'file';
        link.click();
      }
      newTab.document.close();
    } else {
      console.error('Failed to open a new tab.');
    }
  }

Html Side Code

HTML Code

<!-- Paste your HTML, CSS, or JS code here -->
<button (click)="yourbloblink" class="blue-text" >view</button>

Step 2: Add DotNet Code To Download blob File.

Dot Net Code

public async Task<IActionResult> DownloadBlobFileAsync(string blobUrl)
{
    // Parse the Blob URL
    Uri blobUri = new Uri(blobUrl);
    string[] segments = blobUri.AbsolutePath.TrimStart('/').Split('/');
    if (segments.Length < 2)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("Invalid Blob URL.", nameof(blobUrl));
    }

    // Extract container name and blob name
    string containerName = segments[0];
    string blobName = string.Join('/', segments[1..]);

    BlobContainerClient containerClient = _blobServiceClient.GetBlobContainerClient(containerName.ToLower());
    if (!(await containerClient.ExistsAsync()))
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("Container does not exist.", nameof(containerName));
    }

    BlobClient blobClient = containerClient.GetBlobClient(blobName);

    // Check if the blob exists
    if (!await blobClient.ExistsAsync())
    {
        return new NotFoundObjectResult("Blob not found.");
    }

    // Download the blob
    var response = await blobClient.DownloadAsync();

    // Determine content type using GetMimeType method
    string contentType = response.Value.Details.ContentType ?? GetMimeType(blobName);

    // Create a new memory stream to hold blob content
    var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
    await response.Value.Content.CopyToAsync(memoryStream);
    memoryStream.Position = 0;

    // Return the file as a FileStreamResult without disposing the stream here
    return new FileStreamResult(memoryStream, contentType)
    {
        FileDownloadName = blobName
    };
}

private string GetMimeType(string fileName)
{
    var extension = Path.GetExtension(fileName).ToLowerInvariant();
    return extension switch
    {
        ".jpg" or ".jpeg" => "image/jpeg",
        ".png" => "image/png",
        ".gif" => "image/gif",
        ".bmp" => "image/bmp",
        ".tif" or ".tiff" => "image/tiff",
        ".pdf" => "application/pdf",
        ".txt" => "text/plain",
        ".html" or ".htm" => "text/html",
        ".css" => "text/css",
        ".js" => "application/javascript",
        ".json" => "application/json",
        ".xml" => "application/xml",
        _ => MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet
    };
}
