[Vuejs]-Laravel file download

You can do it like this:

public function show(File $file)
{
    $path = storage_path('app/' . $file->getPath());
    $headers = array(
      'Content-Type: image/png',
    );
    return response()->download($path, $file->name, $headers);
}

Hope this helps!

Add headers :

public function show(File $file)
{
  $path = storage_path('app/' . $file->getPath());
  if(!file_exists($path)) throw new Exception("Can't get file");
  $headers = array(
    "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($path) . "\"",
    "Content-Type: application/force-download",
    "Content-Length: " . filesize($path),
    "Connection: close"
  );
  return response()->download($path, $file->name, $headers);
}

OR
use custom download function must be like this :

function download($filepath, $filename = '') {
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($filepath) . "\"");
    header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
    header("Content-Length: " . filesize($filepath));
    header("Connection: close");
    readfile($filepath);
    exit;
}
