I’m trying to dynamically generate a XLSX file, using elixlsx and I’m doing it, but the file generated doesn’t have any file extension, i.e. I just download a file called download and I’d like to download download.xlsx. Can someone help me. please?
My current relevant code is:
config/config.exs
# Configures xlsx mime type
config :mime, :types, %{
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" => ["xlsx"]
}
web/router.ex
defmodule Backoffice.Router do
use Backoffice.Web, :router
pipeline :browser do
plug :accepts, ["html", "xlsx"]
plug :fetch_session
plug :fetch_flash
plug :protect_from_forgery
plug :put_secure_browser_headers
end
pipeline :api do
plug :accepts, ["json"]
end
scope "/", Backoffice do
pipe_through :browser # Use the default browser stack
get "/", PageController, :index
get "/download_form", PageController, :download_form
get "/download", PageController, :download
end
end
web/controllers/page_controller.ex
defmodule Backoffice.PageController do
use Backoffice.Web, :controller
def index(conn, _params) do
render conn, "index.html"
end
# render download form
def download_form(conn, _params) do
render conn, "download_form.html"
end
# generates XLSX
def download(conn, _params) do
render conn, "download.xlsx"
end
end
web/views/page_view.ex
defmodule Backoffice.PageView do
use Backoffice.Web, :view
import Elixlsx
alias Elixlsx.Workbook
alias Elixlsx.Sheet
def render("download.xlsx", _params) do #, %{tweets: tweets}) do
Workbook.append_sheet(%Workbook{}, Sheet.with_name("Sheet 1")
|> Sheet.set_cell("A1", "Hello", bold: true))
|> Elixlsx.write_to_memory("download.xlsx") |> elem(1) |> elem(1)
end
end

I’m not seeing where you set the name there? By default the name will be the last part of the path of the url (‘download’ in your case) but you are not setting it to “download.xlsx” anywhere. The line
render conn, "download.xlsx"is just calling a render template of “download.xlsx”, not setting a name for note.To set a name just do normal http stuff.
The recommended usual way that should work in every situation is to just set a header with a key of “content-disposition” and a value of “attachment; filename="download.xlsx"”, which you could do via (for example):
I think I have that right.
