Is there a way to instead of passing a URL to the component, to pass the file itself, maybe as a blob? The files in my case all live locally on a server and are not accessible via the client. I have an API endpoint where I can request the file and it gets sent back to the client. Presently, I’m forcing a download, but it would be cooler to display it using this extension.

If you’re curious, this is how I’m presently getting the files:

fetchPDF (payload) {
      this.$axios.post('/inpatientPDFs/snr/download', payload, { responseType: 'blob' }).then(res => {
        // console.log('am i downloading?', res)
        const blob = new Blob([res.data], { type: res.data.type })
        const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob)
        const link = document.createElement('a')
        link.href = url
        const contentDisposition = res.headers['content-disposition']
        let fileName = 'unknown'
        if (contentDisposition) {
          const fileNameMatch = contentDisposition.match(/filename="(.+)"/)
          if (fileNameMatch.length === 2) {
            fileName = fileNameMatch[1]
          }
        }
        // let fileName = payload.reportName
        link.setAttribute('download', fileName)
        document.body.appendChild(link)
        link.click()
        link.remove()
        window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url)
      }).catch(err => {
        console.log('or do i have an error?', err) // TODO beef up this
        this.$q.notify({ message: 'Error downloading PDF', type: 'negative', textColor: 'white', color: 'negative', icon: 'error', closeBtn: 'close', position: 'top' })
      })
    }

Never mind. I got it. I just use the ```const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob)`` line and assign it to :src in the q-pdfviewer.

I also put the q-pdfviewer inside a q-dialog and show/hide it based on other things. Thanks for the module, @Hawkeye64 !

@rconstantine This is good to know! Thanks for the info.

QPdfViewer is a great module, thanks. When added to the application, however, a large number of files were added to the statics folder. Can these be safely removed - which items within statics are required, and which can be deleted? Thanks
