Download using the Xios?

Question

I am using Axios to perform my application requests, and in one of the GET requests it returns a PDF file. When I do the GET request by Postman it opens a window to choose where to save the file, but when I do the request by my application it does not download. Which method should I use to download the file??

axios.get('/server/pdfs')
.then(function (response) {
  //Qual método usar aqui para efetuar o download??
})
.catch(function (error) {
  console.log(error)
})

I’ve already looked at the official documentation on Github and it doesn’t explain how to download using Axios.

Just create the file with the Blog and passing the mime type. Then open a new link passing the URL encodada. You can also use the link created in items of the type a and iframe.

axios.get('/server/pdfs')
.then(function(response) {
    var blob = new Blob([response.data], {
          type: 'application/pdf'
    });
    var url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob)
    window.open(url);
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
        console.log(error)
});
