Laravel-excel export not downloading instead its just storing

I have this laravel project where i added this package laravel-excel to export data from database now instead of downloading it is saving to this directory storage\framework\cache\laravel-excel

this is my vue code

<script setup>

import { router} from '@inertiajs/vue3';
import { ref } from 'vue'
const props = defineProps({transactions:Object});

const status =ref('Status');
const shop =ref('Shop');

const handleExport = ()=>{
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('status', status.value);
formData.append('shop', shop.value);

router.post('/export_data', formData,{
preserveState: true, preserveScroll: true,
})
}
</script>

<template>
<button @click="handleExport()" type="button"></button>
</template>


here is my controller code

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Exports\TransactionsExport;
use App\Models\Transaction;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;

class TransactionController extends Controller
{
public function export_data(Request $request)
{
$status = $request['status'];
$shop = $request['shop'];

$result = Transaction::where([['status',$status],['shop',$shop]])->get();
return Excel::download(new TransactionsExport($result), 'Transactions.xlsx');
}
}


additional information, am getting the right data but again instead of downloading its just saving.

thanks
