How to handle Blob and non-serialisable responses ?

[VaZark]

Even though RTKQuery is primarily is meant for caching responses, I'm looking for a way handle blob / file responses (with no-cache) as a part of the work flow.

With a custom BaseQuery I'm handling authentication and token refresh. I'd like to keep using RTKQ and not duplicate the authentication logic just for file downloads.

Is there an escape hatch to disable automatic parsing and tags? I can use that to just redirect to a new page when the content-disposition header contains attachment ?

Currently my API looks like this and the automatic re-authenticatio does not seem to be triggered

  query: (formData) => ({
        url: 'automations/stripe/generate-facture/',
        method: 'POST',
        body: formData,
        cache: 'no-cache',
        responseHandler: (response: any) => {
          if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(response.statusText);
          }
          return response.blob();
        },
      }),
      transformResponse: async (response: Blob | void, meta: any) => {
        if (response instanceof Blob) {
          const { response: metaResponse } = meta;
          const filename = metaResponse.headers.get('Content-Disposition').split('filename=')[1];
          const contentType = metaResponse.headers.get('Content-Type');
          const file = new File([response], filename, { type: contentType });
          const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(file);
          window.open(url);
        }
      },
    }),

Never mind. Updating the responseHandler to return a json instead of a raising Error seems to be good enough.

Updated function handler,

        responseHandler: (response: any) => {
          if (!response.ok) {
            return { error: response.statusText, status: response.status };
          }
          return response.blob();
        }
