we already have seen how to download a file using REST API on the previous one(https://medium.com/@damureddy/download-a-file-from-springboot-rest-service-c10700f3e88d) now we will integrate REST API with React

Below code implemented using ReactJS+Material UI , this topic covers only file download code

import React from “react”;
