Documentation

The FileDownloadNode module makes it easy to download files from the web programmatically in Node.js applications. It provides two main methods for downloading: one asynchronous using async/await and one using a callback.

Module Installation

To install this module, open your terminal and run the following command:

npm install files-downloads-node

We import the files-downloads-node module

const FileDownloadNode = require("files-downloads-node");

Asynchronous Download with downloadAsync

The downloadAsync method allows you to download a file asynchronously. You can use it as follows:

const downloader = new FileDownloadNode();

async function downloadArchivo() {
  try {
    const options = {
      url: "https://www.ejemplo.com/archivo.pdf", // URL of the file to download
      outputDirectory: "./descargas", // Destination directory
      rename: "archivo_descargado.pdf", // Optional: rename the file
    };

    const filePath = await downloader.downloadAsync(options);
    console.log(`File downloaded and saved in: ${filePath}`);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error downloading file:", error);
  }
}

downloadArchivo();

Download with Callback using download

The download method allows downloads to be performed using a callback. Here is an example of how to use it:

const downloader = new FileDownloadNode();

function downloadArchivoConCallback() {
  const options = {
    url: "https://www.ejemplo.com/archivo.pdf", // URL of the file to download
    outputDirectory: "./descargas", // Destination directory
    rename: "archivo_descargado.pdf", // Optional: rename the file
  };

  downloader.download(options, (error, filePath) => {
    if (error) {
      console.error("Error downloading file:", error);
    } else {
      console.log(`File downloaded and saved in: ${filePath}`);
    }
  });
}

downloadArchivoConCallback();
