How to generate blob from http response in java script?

Question

I am a beginner in javascript and web programming I am using node to create a pdf file and pipe it as an http response

On the client-side I am using angularjs to create blob from the response. Instead of getting a correct pdf file, i am getting a pdf page with a blank page. Did I created blob the wrong way? Is there something I missed?

I did try researching the internet, the closest thing I found is this: AngularJS: Display blob (.pdf) in an angular app

but it still does not work after i followed the instructions

my code:

 $http.get('pdf-page', null, { responseType: 'arraybuffer' })
   .success(function (res) {
   console.log(res);  
   var file = new Blob([data], {type: 'application/pdf'});
   var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
   window.open(fileURL);
});

result of console.log(res):

%PDF-1.3 %�� 5 0 obj << /Type /Page /Parent 1 0 R /MediaBox [0 0 612 792] /Contents 3 0 R /Resources 4 0 R

endobj 4 0 obj << /ProcSet [/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI] /Font << /F1 6 0 R

Turns out I'm giving $http.get wrong arguments Link to solution: [stackoverflow.com/questions/28093736/… [1]: stackoverflow.com/questions/28093736/… — Danil
